Strep? and other ramblings

So I think I may have Strep Throat... ugh. I don't like this. My throat hurts-- keep me awake all night kinda hurt, but no fever. So do I try and get a doc appt or just muddle on?!?! Is this just some little viral thing that will pass or am I going to suffer if I don't go get some antibiotics now.

Oh yeah.. and this morning, my car started smoking. Yuck. I really need to get a new car. and soon. I hate to say goodbye to the blazer, but it barely runs anymore-- its just not reliable. I need something that I KNOW will start-- and gets some better gas mileage too. Time to start looking more seriously for a new (to me) car. Not an expense I am looking forward to at all.

Work is ok, we're getting a new imaging system in today that could make my life a LOT easier-- that is, if it works. I have to go demo it at 1pm. Keep your fingers crossed. Green glowing mice are good!

In other news-- Winnie is a moron. After her long walk this morning, she came inside and immediately crapped on the rug. Then turned around and ATE it?!?! WTF? This dog has serious issues.

That is just...disgusting.

sorry about your throat. I have had very very sore throats before that were not strep. And I would think if it was strep you would have a fever. Hope it feels better soon!

We mothers are in agreement. Strep typically comes with a fever. Try salt water gargles or peroxide gargles. Nasty, I know.

Slushies and slurpies help to anesthetize the throat, too.

And it's call coprophilia. When a dog eats poop. Yeah, it has a name and scarier still, I know what it is.
