Hot, sweaty and writhing in bed to ring in the New Year

Get your head out of the gutter! I'm talking about how I got to ring in the New Year with a nasty Strep Throat infection. I spent most of Saturday with chills, nausea and fatigue, and then spent the night tossing and turning and not sleeping well. I spent Sunday morning looking for open Urgent Care facilities in this little corner of Ohio (on New Year's day!). The doctor thought Strep almost right away, and was so concerned about the amount of gunk in my throat that I actually got an antibiotic injection plus a standard 10 day oral antibiotic prescription. Yikes!

So, my resolution for this year is not to get sick on New Year's Eve / New Year's this year. Not only because it majorly bites to be sick at such a festive time, but because finding health care is rather difficult. Unfortunately the only way to insure this is to quarantine yourself for the last week of December, but after going through this, it just might have been worth it...

The good news is that I'm back on my feet and ready to tackle another exciting Bit-year! :)
