I haven't been able to drink lately. And it's quite irritating.

At least not beer anyway. Beer's been making me feel nauseated even with one sip.

I had a Mai Tai at the Aquarium Restaurant and felt fine.

I've also been having issues with a stomach bug I just can't seem to get over. It's not horrible. It's just an "ohhhh I feel queasy" feeling, though the last time I drank a whole bud light, I yakked immediately. I never get sick. Seriously. Like -maybe- once every 2 or 3 years. And the downside to that is when I -do- catch something, I'm out for the count for like a week. Or more.

The Fall I went back to my school job after having my baby, I jumped headfirst into my schedule - 2 jobs, college classes, baby. I was working 60+ hrs a week, going to 2 classes a week at night and taking 2 more classes online. It eventually caught up to me. I had a stomach virus one week for a couple of days, went back to work, got it again. Went back to work for another week, got it again (my sister was all "Are you pregnant again!?" No bich. I'm not. I'm not even -seeing- anyone. Jesus.), back to work, woke up one morning with a fever of like 104. Took Tylenol, went to school, told my sister. And 'cuz she's a beesh, she was like "Well if you've taken Tylenol, then your fever is down and you don't need to leave work."

Oooooook. Go talk to the school Nurse who suggested I -do- go home, or better yet go to the Care Here clinic at another school to get checked out. Turned out I had Strep Throat. Wooo! Winning! Was put on antibiotics & given a dr's note to stay home the rest of the week.

Hopefully this'll be my 1 illness this year. That'd be -great-. I got sick last year after Giftmas too. My baby got sick, gave it to my mom - where it blew up into Pneumonia & she stayed sick for like a month, then gave it to me... -That- was bad. My symptoms hit me one morning a little bit on the way to work (on a Saturday no less. Yay.). But as the day went on, my whole body just started hurting more and more like all over. I'm always in a good mood at work, but that night, I was almost in tears I was in so much pain. Had to call out for Monday so that my mom could take me to the clinic. They said it was actually an upper respiratory infection. Odd 'cuz I'd never gotten one of those before. RXed me & my mom that Purple Drank (minus the Hydrocodone, dammit) and all was well.

Then my -Dad- got it. He's even worse when he's sick. But whatever.

Anywho. I want this illness to go away right meow. It's really irritating.
