Turn Down for What?

1. The flu...
2. strep...
3. fevers...

That's right. I went radio silent (minus the whiny, feel sorry for me Facebook updates) for an entire week because I got the flu. After 3 days of that misery, I thought I had weathered the storm but then actually got a swift kick in the behind again and got strep. Clearly Baby J is telling me He's not happy with me.

I wake up on day 5 and decide the time has come to call the doctor. Luckily I can get in to see my main man the same day but not before I go spread all sorts of germs around the office. (feel a bit bad about this now knowing I had strep). Problem is I was walking a fine line of looking like a faker by being out of the office for so many days and actually bringing germs to the office. It's just part of the internal struggle I deal with. #thestruggleisreal

When I arrive in the doctor's office I'm immediately diagnosed with strep without even having to do that terrible throat swabbing, gag reflexing type of test. Woohoo! Give me the drugs! Just when I expect to skew-daddle right on outta there the doc has a few questions for me.

Doc: does anybody you know have similar symptoms as you?
Me: yea, this guy I work with had the same exact thing that I had at the beginning of the week!
Doc: are you close with him?
Me: yea! I sit right next to him!
Doc: no... I mean are you cllllooooseee with him?
Me: haaaaa! oh... no. no i'm not close with him.
Doc: ah ok. usually you get strep from being...close... with somebody if you know what i mean
*internal thought: are we talking about the same thing here? I thought mono was the kissing disease. I also didn't think i'd be getting a mommy and daddy lecture about being careful who i'm "close" with. either way i do not care. just get me the antibiotics son!*
Me: ohhhh. yea i'm not sure then. I've been in the city a lot lately!
Doc: hmmm ok. not sure where you picked it up but let me write you a prescription

JACKPOT.
