Talked to my supervisor and then called up my doctor's office...I have a doc's note waiting for me, yay! I know it's not anything personal, but considering it's been three and a half days, I understand the need for a note. I'm just glad I didn't have to go in.

My dad picked me up some Mucinex. That stuff is the shit. That and three cloves of raw garlic and I might stink, but I can breathe through my nose a tad more frequently. With the garlic, I used the garlic press and mixed it with olive oil and miso and put it on buckwheat noodles. It's a bastardized version of a recipe from the How It All Vegan series. I know I have more garlic around here, too; but I can't figure out where I put it. I just don't want to end up with an Rx for antibiotics--all the ones they give out for sinus infections these days, are mucho expensive. And tend to have un-fun side effects. Have I ever mentioned how much I loathe Augmentin? For a while when I didn't have insurance, my mom would bring me samples of it from work whenever I had a sinus infection. I seriously used to get several sinus infections per year. And Augmentin would work on the sinus infection, but then I'd end up with GI stuff and a yeast infection, now isn't that fun? Last time I talked to a doctor about it, he said they often give an Rx for diflucan at the same time now, because that happens to so many women.

I may feel up to going to chorus rehearsal tonight, yaaaay!! Although I'll probably end up sitting in the back by myself so as not to spread my sickness around, not to mention my garlicky stinkiness. I won't be the first person to sit behind everyone else, blowing their nose and not really singing. *lol* I really want to go, I've actually memorized all four the of the songs we're supposed to know for tonight. Or at least, I had them memorized as of Sunday.

I wonder how allergic to garlic Gayle is--she's my ride back to Beaverton post-chorus every week. I'll take a shower before I leave or something, so there won't be as much of it coming out of my pores.
