After a visit to the doctor, I find out the lumps in my throat are swollen lymph nodes are a result of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. This is more often referred to as strep throat, though I'm a nerd and big medical words are cool. Luckily for me, because it was such an early stage, I haven't had a sore throat, runny nose, or had to alter my day plans. I was given powerful anti-biotics that I can truly vouch for when I say, they have really made the disease recessive, if not almost vanquished. I'm going in tomorrow for blood work to test for mononucleosis.
I worked during the afternoon, and then darted out with Melissa to join the birthday party for my mom. It was her 50th, and we threw her a surprise party. It was great to see so much of my family there, all enjoying themselves, with perfect fall weather. My Aunt Marsha catered several dishes and deserts, and with added brewed drinks and wines, it was a good night. Me and my dad got her an ipad (I'm a poor college student, so my dad paid most of that one...).
Went to bed at midnight sharp, knowing little that I would get 10 hours of sleep....
