I (Jessi) was struck down with a bad case of Strep Throat this week. Pain started Wednesday early morning (I woke up around 2am to a mild fever, swollen lymph nodes, and an extremely painful sore throat) and became so severe that I had to leave work an hour early on Wednesday. Melissa took me to Urgent Care shortly after I got home. Doc said she could “smell the strep” (gross) and could see the lymph nodes in my neck because they were so swollen. I had to call off work on Thursday and Friday as well. My fever broke late Friday evening but it wasn’t until Saturday that I began to recover. Thankfully I didn’t pass my germs to Melissa.
The boys were excellent nurses during my illness. Though they had a tendency to fall asleep on the job.
I was still on the mend on Saturday but I needed some frische Luft so Melissa and I decided to visit a local pumpkin patch (another “First” in our relationship!). We drank some fresh squeezed cider, ate kettle corn and fresh doughnuts, and picked out some pumpkins.
I’m thankful I’ve found someone who loves Fall as much as I do.
An Awfully Big Adventure
