strep throat. no memory...just sentences. 2.26.13

i have strep.  i am on steroids.  steroids are bad.  i see a kind of yellow film on the bushes and branches of leaves and i think it must be sunlight.

i can write a russian novel on how it feels to swallow small sharp gravel perpetually.  i have to start sentences with i.  i cannot sleep.  i can drink water which hurts only slightly less than when i am compelled to swallow for no reason.  why do we swallow for no reason?  because the itty bitty sharp rocks must fall.  i know where they come from.  coughing for no reason.  though i had rocks two days before coughing.

i can not sleep.  i can not rest.  i can not think clearly to write lesson plans for my poor substitute who is earning every bit of her pay as i encourage her to just wing it according to her instincts.  she is someone i know and trust so no worries there but bless her heart she's a bit frantic this morning about what i wanted...apparently i spoke of tomorrow's plans on today's plans and...

enough of that track.

i'm baking a chicken right now so i can make my own chicken soup.  bad when it's easier just to make it yourself than to go to the store and buy it. 

i did however run to comcast because the bastards figured out another way to screw up ...  i have a receipt now...but i had a receipt on january 30th also. 

i may not be pushing up daisies but i feel a lot like something a cow dropped on a random, arid path. 

you'd think the severely horrific pain would go away!  my throoaaaaaat....and talking on the phone to the substitute and then to the comcast lady (who thinks i'm insane and that's fine but they've driven me to it) my throat hurts even more...cautionary tale for going back to school.  taking tomorrow also.  have got to go back thursday.  this is ridiculous.  and book club is thursday night.  i missed the last bookclub because of going home to mama's birthday and this week it's at a member's house down in jupiter farms which is nearly 40 minutes away and i should cancel it but i'm the discussion leader!  i just can't cancel...so there is stupidity in my future.

yesterday i should have posted what the doctor said...as my memory sentence..."yep, i can see a lot of creamy stuff hanging back there.  a lot of creamy stuff."  she said the zyrtec i started taking saturday makes it worse.  what?  how am i supposed to deal with allergy attacks when allergy meds make it worse?  oh because it's strep throat and a sinus infection.  well the wee bugger bollocks didn't introduce itself when it started shoveling gravel into my throat!  creamy stuff indeed.  you'd think it would kinda mask the pain.  okay i have to stop.  obviously i'm rambling worse than usual...

wish i could sleep.  or find a good movie to escape into...

i want to add that you should research victor hugo.  what an interesting guy--heard garrison keiler this morning talk about him...i will look it up again when i feel better...  www.writersalmanac.com i think... will fix this later if necessary...
