The Thing That

It's Tuesday and I think I have strep throat. For this I blame Natalie, sister of Melissa, who stayed with us for nearly a week, bringing good cheer and bad germs. Apparently I can go to the doctor and get antibiotics and this would clear up the problem in 24 to 48 hours -- at least, that's what the first web site that "strep throat" brought up on Google said. The only thing is I haven't bothered to read the numerous manuals that HR sent me about my health plan so I don't even know if I can go to the doctor. Or who my doctor is, for that matter. So I think I'll just go home and lie on the couch and watch whatever DVD netflix has sent me today and hope the misery goes away by itself.
