my immune system is worthless

i woke up the other day and noticed there was a disturbance in the force.

at least i thought i just had allergies. i apparently had a concerned look on my face, so justin asked if i was ok. 

"yeah i my lymph nodes are bein dumb"

boy was i wrong.

approximately 36 hours later i was talking like a bayou troller who's tongue had somehow been taken in a bar fight. 

my throat began to swell so bad i couldn't hardly breath. i sounded just like that kid from "hey arnold" that creeped on helga. 

you know that kid. 

i started to look pretty haggard. 

my fever began to spike, but it was so damn hot in the house i just thought i was sweating from the crappy blinding day outside. (yay indiana)

but again i was wrong.

all i wanted was jello. 

that's when i knew something had gone terribly wrong. 

my mom used to make me apricot jello eggs when i was sick. 

apparently i couldn't handle jello cubes or something, but egg shaped things are way cooler than cubes any day.

i took advil like a fiend, which lulled me into a disillusioned state of well being. 

it didn't last very long...

since i just moved, i had no idea where the urgent care was here. 

i thought i would be clever and get the address from google, but the gps thought otherwise.

the damn thing took me to a tire barn. 

i started the journey doing ok. 

then the gps thought it would be funny to take me down a series of winding roads and long stretches of construction where the glorious people of this town must go into fits of road rage frenzies and forget all laws of the road. 

i sat in a parking lot next to a nail salon and a mexican restaurant trying to explain to justin and nate that i had not and could not find the clinic because i was hopelessly lost. 

justin:"hey what's up? did you find the clinic?"

me: "the jeepehesh thookh meh to phep bosh!!!!"

justin: "what?"

me: "i'm lhoosht!!! the jeepehesh thookh meh to pep boiish!!"

i eventually found the clinic while heading back. it was about a mile down the road on the opposite side.

upon getting there i was told by 2 nurses and the doctor that i had some of the worst strep throat swelling they have seen so far. this soon led to the doctor telling me i was about to get a steroid shot....

it just so happens steroid shots get squeezed into your body with a larger than normal needle in a nice tender spot on your lower back/upper butt cheek. 

my butt still hurts.

so i got my litany of medications and drove like a pissed off jersey girl back to the house.

we watched skins all night. 

it's like degrassi, but cool.

tony got hit by a bus and i cheered cause he was a jackass.
