sometimes things are the pits

today is my birthday which should be a happy thing. However, I have been down with a seriously sore throat, high fever, and low energy since Sunday. Instead of going out for dinner I was brought some mashed potatoes and gravy at my request from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Even that is hard to swallow. My tonsils are definately swollen, mavbe swollen glands, strepped throat, or even tonsilitis, all of which require going to a doctor for some antibiotics. Of course I have no insurance and not much money so this would put a great strain on me. It seems that every year I think I am going to actually use birthday money for whatever, but it never happens. I need to go to the ER, but don't want to drive myself. well that is all, welcome to my world. ugh.
