Monospots & Strep Swabs, Oh My.

Despite not going out last night, I had the worst time getting up this morning. I was tired all day and may have even dozed off once or twice. I didn't feel very well and so therefore it was strongly suggested to me by some of the girls in the office that I have one of the Drs. look me over. Dr. Hanvan looked down my throat and said "Well, it does look kind of beefy in there" and noticed that it was swollen, but said there were none of the white spots that usually indicated strep. All the same I was sent to the lab to get tested for mono & strep. They were able to tell me I didn't have mono within 15 minutes or so but the strep swab had to be sent downtown. I don't think I have strep, but I'll be glad to know for sure. I'm pretty sick of sore throats.

This picture is of Amy's desk. Today was her birthday so some of the girls decorated her desk and then they bought her a boquet of tulips & a massage. The only thing that happened on my birthday was that Mikka made me a cake and no one knew why. It makes me not inclined to go all out for anyone's birthday except Mikka's. I don't begrudge Amy anything though and do wish her a very happy birthday.

Today at rehearsal I was late for places due to some wig mishaps. When I finally got into my spot I had a coughing fit and then all of a sudden it was time for a monologue. Of course I instantly forgot all my lines and stumbled through quite crappily, which really oughtn't happen being as my monologue opens the show and sets the scene. The problem was I didn't even get my first line right. I just said "Welcome to...." and spread my arms wide as that deer-in-the-headlights look fell upon my face. I'm supposed to start out with "Good evening, good evening..." Anyway, no matter, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

After rehearsal we went to Shakespeare's for karoke night to see the legendary Brandi. Sadly, Brandi was not there tonight and but some of my people did get up and sing jaunty renditions of such classics as Santeria, Redneck Woman, & Dead or Alive. Now, it is well past time to sleep.
