sick sick sick...

For Thanksgiving this year Tim and I had an awesome time with his family. Everyone congregated in Boise, and besides the fact that they don't watch the Macy's Day parade (still troubled by that one) and us finishing last in the ping pong bracket, being home for the holiday was fantastic! Plenty of good food and good fun!!

I did however manage to catch a nasty case of strep throat... I don't know what it is about me, I'm an illness magnet. I am fairly acquainted with strep throat (read: I get it all the time), but it never gets less miserable to have. And I have a 20 page paper due on Friday. So, unlike last year's swine flu, I went to the doctor, am now 2 days into a 10 day round of penicillin, and I can swallow again mostly pain free. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

Huge shout out to Tim! That wonderful man picked me up last Sunday morning after a 12 hour night shift at the hospital and let me sleep while he drove us to Boise, and then yesterday he made me a bed in the back of the car and let my 102-degree feverish self sleep while he drove all the way back home. Probably not his favorite trip ever, but I am sure grateful!
