Strep on your face???

So who knew you could get strep on your face, arms, and legs?? Well if you are wondering...you can get it and guess what I have it!! Yes, I have a strep bacteria that has taken the form of a rash on my face, neck, chest, right arm, and both legs. Let me make a long story short. I woke up on Sunday with a few red dots between my eyes. I thought it was strange but hey I still get pimples so it didn't make that big of an impact. Well as the day progressed red dots began appearing on the left side of my face, on my right cheek, and down the side of my noes. By the end of the day I had these red dots on my neck and my chest. When I woke up today I had these fabulous red dots on my right arm and both legs. I went to class and got the "Are you feeling okay?" question. After a wonderful teacher/mom/teammate/classmate (Gayla) felt my forehead I realized  I had a fever. All of a sudden I started to feel really sick. One of the instructors came over and asked me how I was feeling b/c apparently I looked bad. She asked me if I was nauseous and I was extremely nauseous but I am nauseous a lot cause of my stomach issues. I never put two and two together that the rash, the nausea, and the fever were connected. I made a doctors appointment and at this appointment was informed that i had a strep infection on my skin. Apparently the strep bacteria can occur in your throat and on your skin. Who knew? I was also informed that the red dots might start oozing!!!! If they start oozing I am NOT going out in public for ANY reason!!! Hopefully the antibiotic  and cream they gave me will prevent this lovely happening from occurring. 

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th, so the celebrate we (my friends and I) are getting together to have scary movie night. Now I HATE scary movies because I am the biggest woos ever! I will be covering my eyes the entire night. When David and I went to see "I Am Legend", I covered my eyes and ears and told him I wanted to go home (I didn't but at one point I wanted too). I do not do haunted houses because they scare the crap out of me. Last October I went to Louisville to visit a friend and her husband and brother convinced me to go through a haunted house. The crazy people with chain saws can sense the fear in me, so naturally the chase me and jump out at me. Anyways, back to the point... I am watching a scary movie tonight! The one highlight is that I made rice krispie treats to take with me and they look perfect. It usually takes me 3 batches to make good rice krispie treat but this time I did it on my first try! Yes, I know rice krispies only have 3 ingredients- butter, marshmellows, and rice krispies but they can be challenging to make. They can be too gooey or too hard, but this batch looks great. I don't know how they taste, but who cares they look yummy!  

Soooo Productive

I was super productive today!!! I got up early and went to school to pack up my room. Now I am not finished packing up my room but it looks good compared to what it did look like. I moved my furniture (and got a bruise in the process) . I was at school from 9-4:30 working hard, minus the yummy lunch break. I ran to Target to pick up a new binder for next year lessons plans (I got a pink one) and then I came home, did a load of laundry, and went to the gym. I biked for 20 minutes as I read a book, it was lovely! Then I came back and went for an hour walk with a friend. We walked all over the neighborhood and chatted. When I came home I cooked myself some dinner and debated about what I wanted to do next. I ended up cleaning my room and organizing some things. Now I am watching the Bachelorette with some friends. What a productive day!!!!
