sick

I hate being sick. Hate. Hate. Hate. I felt so miserable and incapacitated today that I made my first non-emergency visit to a doctor in at least seven years. The urgent care clinic kept me waiting for ages in a cold room by myself while I shivered and sweated. That was one of the best periods of the day because I didn't feel delirious. The doctor told me that I have such a clear case of strep throat there is no need even to test for it. I just need to take drugs and drink water and sleep for days. My goal is to sleep until Friday and wake up, perfectly healthy, in time to get ready for the party. If you should happen to see me anytime in the next couple days, flee in terror.
