A couple of weeks ago I was preparing dinner and Cory was sitting at the bar surfing the interwebs. In the process of doing so he came across intel that David Sedaris would be in Houston at Jones Hall on April 28. (If you don't know who David Sedaris is then shame on you.) Cory and I are both very fond of him (as many lovely and interesting people are) and we decided immediately that tickets should be purchased. It is about this same time that it occurred to me that my darling mother is one of those lovely and interesting people who appreciate the humor of Mr. Sedaris. (Not only that, but mother's day is coming up.) Presto! Cory bought tickets and a mother's day gift was born.
Cut to Wednesday, we get all gussied up and have some mexican food at Aztecas then head to the show. Everything was fantastic, David was fabulous in person, and then I started getting REALLY thirsty. When I dropped my mama off I went inside and downed five full glasses of water before driving home to have three more. Around two o'clock in the morning I was awakened by a sore throat after which I was unable to return to the peaceful slumber that such pain had interrupted. Upon waking up in the morning I had no voice and felt miserable. I made a doctor's appointment for 4:00 PM to find out that I have a VIRAL INFECTION. WTF? I was fine yesterday! This also happened to be Zoe's birthday, so my viral infection and I had a nice birthday party then went home and went to bed.
Two days into the treatment and apparently I am still contagious until tomorrow. We have a camping trip planned for this weekend and I am just glad I went to the doctor when I did.
Yay for camping, even though there is a 50% chance of rain tomorrow!
