Silver Lining

I am officially sick.

I have been to the doctors (with a stupid $15 co-pay I might add) and I have a "get out of jail free" note. It makes me feel so juvenile I hate it, but whatever because I have it. I am legally able to be out of work 2-3 days "depending on fever".

Well guess what, fever or no I am so not going in on Friday. It's the Navy graduation, plus Friday before a long weekend - do you think I'm that crazy that I would sit in that sort of traffic when I'm healthy? Let alone recovering from a cold? I don't think so. I had originally planned to take a half day to beat most of the traffic. Now it's a whole day and that really is so much better.

I am banned from speaking except in extreme need and I am taking Motrin to control the fever and pain. To be honest, when I woke up this morning the only thing that hurt was my throat. My head is fine. No more throbbing when I stand up or sit down and that is very good. I also didn't have a fever.

I am hoping to be mostly better by Saturday because I have plans... but that is something to discuss at another time. Just know yes, he is young and yes, he is the boy from the fraternity. It's going to be fun, ok?

I am also planning to GET MY HAIR CUT. How long have I been saying that? I don't know but I'm totally serious. It's getting annoying.

So yesterday my Mom took me to the doctor (I was concerned about driving because my head hurt THAT BAD). After we went shopping and out for lunch. Don't you know that shopping makes everything better? It's a well known fact in my family and we went with it. I picked up 2 shirts from Old Navy for $4.14. The beauty of the bargain is what made the fever go away. I also picked up some Bath & Body Works soap & lotion (you can never have too many and they make great gifts).

We got home and I took a long nap, then after dinner I went home to watch Idol. I don't know what my reaction is to the decision. I have so many opinions about this season it's probably not worth getting into. All I'll say is that I still think Nadia shouldn't have been cut as early as she was... if at all...

Haha, it's quite alright. I just usually don't find many people that have it spelled "Ali." It interested me.
