Sick-o

According to Mikes, I catch some kind of bug every time I come home, so being preggers with a suppressed immune system, I shouldn't be that surprised that I have strep throat. The past two days were filled with horrible headaches and general achy-ness. And while the headaches have decreased in intensity, my throat has gotten worse.

I don't consider myself a neurotic pregnant lady - I still have a caffeinated beverage every now and then - but when it comes to drugs, you get really paranoid! Fortunately, my parents house is like a mini pharmacy and dr. dad was able to find something safe for me to take (at least according to animal studies...). So, hopefully I will feel better soon!

The institute courses go by so quickly, you really can't miss a day. Although I came pretty close yesterday... the metro had delays which resulted in super crowded trains. Feeling sick and being super crowded did not sit well with me and I had to abandon ship 2 stops before my destination. Luckily I was able to sit down for a few minutes and hop on another train after I felt better. The whole experience reminded me of how good friend Liv used to have panic attacks back in the day. Now I totally understand how she felt.

Only 2 more class days to go! I know I can make it!
