I feel better thanks to the antibiotics, but it isn't thanks to defeating strep-A. That's right folks, I still don't know what the hell I have. All I know is that my throat feels much better and I am fighting the desire to go out and about really hard.
I am trying to make sure I stay hydrated and not over-exert myself. I don't want a repeat of this crap.
The next step is more tests. I go in for another mono test tomorrow morning to make sure that was not a false-negative. If that comes back negative then I don't know where we go from here.
I am definitely fed up with being sick. I feel really bad for Meesh since having me sick is quite the drag. We have not been able to do a whole lot since we started dating. First I hurt my foot back at the beginning of October, then I feel surprisingly tired during mid-October, then I get this throat thing starting in November. And with me making sure I don't over-exert myself by not doing anything active until I am off the antibiotics puts me at being a huge bore until roughly Saturday. But by then I will be gone for Thanksgiving at my dad's. Bah!
When I am well I will owe her big time for taking care of me and all the time she has spent keeping me company while I have kept myself confined to my apartment. We will need to go biking at Stanley Park, bike rides around campus, explore more of Vancouver (such North and West Van, random areas, see what the hell there is in Burnaby and Richmond beyond malls and the airport), rock climbing, ice skating, playgrounds, and skiing (that is already planned in December thanks to one of Meesh's roommates).

Ya know, it's kinda fun to take care of someone you like when she or he is under the weather. It goes back to basics of comfy blankets, warm soup, and hanging out and talking or watching movies - which is just peachy in my book. But... I AM really glad you're thinking of the active stuff again because sometimes I put that part of me into hibernation. I bet that's pretty common though - adjusting your activity level to those around you, eh?
Oh, which reminds me: it's quite sunny and warm back here at my parents' house and boy do I feel like frolicking! I mean, I heard about feeling kinda down about the rainy cold weather of the NorthWest, but sheesh, vive la difference. It could also be because I am visiting my family, friends, and dog. But I think the sunniness has SOMETHING to do with it. I dunno, what do you all think? What seems to affect your activity level the most?
