White spots mean strep, don't they, Sue? Sorry about that, and here's hoping good meds work fast!

That's what I thought, but Dr. Google says not necessarily. It could be viral or something crazy like Gonnorrhea. (I'm certain it's not the Gonorrhea.) I know that if I don't go to the doctor, it will end up being strep and I will be in a world of pain for the long weekend. Now that I have an appt, I am certain it's just viral and I'll be putting on outside pants for nothing.

Though once I am out, I am so treating myself to ice cream.

I am having a pj day at work, but I have them quite often. In fact today I need to get dressed because it's technically a day off work and the kids are coming over this afternoon. But when I think about it, I think I should shower, and then I think I may as well work out before the shower if I'm going to shower, and then I also should eat.

And then I do none of that.

However, I think I can successfully parlay procrastinating on those things to working on my expense receipts, which is what I was procrastinating about in the first place. I have incentive, because if I get done with all these expenses and our cashflow turns out the way I think it will, I can give us year end bonuses. But I have to do the work first.

What triggered that? I figure she must have done something to piss off the paps (other than spur a recent bill passed against them), since the tabloids always paint her as the emo needy housewrecker in every relationship.

I don't know -- I used to see her as really grounded and sensible and talented. And I've questioned a lot of her movie roles, and the way she seems to be bouncing from guy to guy seems weird after how committed she was to her marriage. Or seemed to be.

It's true, though -- it's all in how the media paints her, and that's a shame.

I used to have quite the Chandler Bing/Matthew Perry crush before his drug addiction. For some reason that soured me on him. Not that it always does--RDJ soldiers on in my heart.

That's me, too. It might be that my RDJ love goes so far back, but I've always imagined him as someone with some real demons, and that sort of crazy genius talent, whereas Perry just seemed like another guy who started taking pills.

For me, white spots meant mono.

I just always assume white spots mean infection of one kind or another. Ice cream is a good idea, though.

I know that if I don't go to the doctor, it will end up being strep and I will be in a world of pain for the long weekend. Now that I have an appt, I am certain it's just viral and I'll be putting on outside pants for nothing.

I'm pretty sure getting ice cream on my way to a sore-throat doctor's appointment one time was what led to them calling in interns to see the craziest white spots ever. I think maybe they were ice cream. But I did still have strep!

For me, white spots meant mono.

I had the worst case of mono when I was 12. Missed two months of school. Developed mono-related hepatitis and was turning yellow. Don't want that again.

I'm thinking it might be viral because I don't have a fever.

Also, ick to the ick, Sue! I hate sore throats. Hope the doc patches you up right quick.

Also also, why did I invite kids over? I am notorious for how bad my New Years are, and not just ones I throw. All I have to do is attend for them to go pear shaped. (Worst one, and I think I've told this story before, was the one where the couple hosting found out one was cheating on the other at the party. Awkward. Err, found out at the party, not cheated at the party. Anyway, it was all very bad and we were the last to not disappear and then it was even more awkward and we couldn't leave and the two of us and our buddy rang the new year in sitting on the kitchen counter watching the ball drop on the tiny kitchen tv.)

But we are going to fondue for the kiddoes after all, so that'll at least be fun and take time and we can chillax after that. But they're coming at, like, four. They're going to be here for eight hours! Wish me social skills. Actually it's fine with kids. It's way better than if it were adults. Hee.

Ha! I already have to warn doctors that I have big tonsils before they look. Otherwise they think they are very swollen when they are just a little swollen.
