Yeah, getting sick wasn't the best idea. We took my nieces to a Halloween thing and I apparently got close to the wrong kid (my nieces for once seem to not be the germ providers). It's so much fun to be agitated and feverish/cold at the same time. But I use a weighted blanket for calming so I'd probably be trying to sit under it anyway. I just really would like to have gotten some cleaning done.

This is pretty consistent with strep for me (oddly I feel sick to my stomach and get headaches but don't get a sore throat; small children apparently do this and I must have never grown up or something) so I'll give it a couple days and then probably go in to see if that's the problem again.

Definitely going to take my hydroxyzine tonight and hope it knocks me out. I still can't believe it has been doing that but it has. It never has before except when I had lamictal rash and was on a high dose. I've had it a bunch of times since and never was sleepy but this time around even 10 mg knocks me out sometimes. So strange but so handy. Last night I couldn't take it because I didn't think I was going to have trouble falling asleep and by the time I knew I needed it I would have slept through therapy. My therapist is probably going to wish I had slept through therapy......but we've shared germs before.

Ugh. Tomorrow I have to go vote. I am going to really be tempted to skip it even though it is so important.
