I went to the Medicenter on Saturday night and this time I didn't have glass in my foot thank goodness. I think I would have sat down and cried if I had. This time I had/have very enlarged tonsils. It all happened so suddenly. I came home on Thursday night thinking that I should take some Reactin for all the snow mold that seems to be everywhere I go. (I'm now convinced I'm allergic to snow mold because I always get sick when it melts outside. I sound like such a hypochondriac!) Anyways, I took the Reactin which seemed to help and I went about the rest of my week until I woke up on Saturday morning with tonsils the size of large grapes. No Kidding.I, of course, thought nothing of it until I came home from the gym and showed my mom my huge tonsils. Long story short, I found myself at the Medicenter on Saturday night expecting a very long wait which was only five minutes long to my surprise. Here's the kicker though. Crazy Polish Doctor was the doctor on call. As soon as he came into the exam room and he saw me sitting there, he had a giant smile on his face. He took a look at my tonsils, he said "Well, you have tonsillitis and maybe strep throat. Let's take a swab and send it to the lab." He also said something about Mono but I stopped listening after he said it. My thought process went a little like this, "Mono? Kissing disease? I haven't kissed anyone lately. How could that be?." Then, Crazy Polish Doctor gave me a prescription and that was that. In any case, I haven't heard from the Medicenter so obviously I don't have Strep throat or Mono. Thank goodness and I feel like my tonsil are getting smaller.
* This is a picture of a flower. You may not remember them or even what they look like since we've had snow on the ground for more than half the year and since there's definitely snow on the ground right now even though it's April 4th but they'll start popping up soon. You just wait.*
I did have to cook at LSM yesterday though. I wasn't to happy about that. I asked everyone I could to do it but no one took the bait. The end of the semester is coming up and I have a lot to do and besides, I cooked two weeks ago. It ended up being all right though. I've been so busy with school, that cooking gave me a chance to slow down. I realized this when I was standing at the till at Safeway with my mother paying for groceries. The meal was a hit. It was just homemade mac and cheese and a salad but they liked it. We also went on a scavenger hunt around the U of A campus. I wasn't going to stay for it but I did. It was really fun and my team ended up winning which was probably the best part. Apparently with all of this craziness with the cooking yesterday, it has made me look relaxed. One of the "mature students" in my French class told me that today and I guess I do feel relaxed.
My friend Allan, was saying last night that Jesus was a man who went against the grain. This is obvious but he also posed the question of whether or not He stops us from doing things we shouldn't do or know we shouldn't do. No one had a definitive answer but I was thinking, with Good Friday coming up and Easter, we do have to stop. We are going to stop the busy world we live in on Friday and maybe Monday as well. Stores are going not open or at least not at their regular times on Friday and Monday. I think people who don't believe in Jesus and haven't "taken him as their personal Lord and Saviour" (I'm making fun of the movie Saved! You should see it if you haven't) kind of laugh and say "Well I'm getting a day off just for fun. Ha! Take that religion!" but really, Jesus is pulling the wool over their eyes this weekend. He's shutting down the mall and South Edmonton Common even if it's only for a few hours. He's making us take time to get our priorities straight and I say good on ya, Jesus! I can't wait for the weekend!
