Oh Little Annie

Sorry for posting this a day late!
My day started out sort of bad actually. I had fallen asleep on the couch because I was so exhausted from Friday night. I woke up, my hair was greasy, I had a headache, I felt like crap and it hurt to swallow, I guess that's what happens when you have a cold. I walked up to my mom and my voice was so shot that I could barely make out the word "Ow." My mom told my dad to take me to urgent care so after I got myself ready and cleaned up a bit we left for the doctors office. We got there around 10 and the nurse called us back to the examination room. She asked some routine questions and sent for the doctor. About half and hour (I am drastically under-exaggerating) the doctor waled in checked my ears and took my pulse. He told me its one of three things, Strep throat (Which they can test for) Asthma, or a Sinus Infection. The doctor sent in the nurse to swab my throat to culture for Strep. Fifteen minutes later the test came back negative so he told me I have a sinus infection or Asthma. He gave me a prescription and we were on our way. I took my pills about an hour later and I started feeling better. Zoo time. Today was the group interview for the Junior Zoo keeper Program at the Zoo. I went and after we had eaten our lunch (about 2:00) I started feeling a little light headed. I went to the bathroom and... you guessed it started to vomit. I texted my dad in the bathroom and asked him to pick me up quickly. He arrived about 10 minutes later (The zoo is about 10 minutes away from our house) and I told the head zoo keeper that I had to rehearse for the play rather than tell her I got sick and embarrass myself. I got home and slept for about an hour after I had explained to my parent even though I got sick I had to be at the play, my other percussionist wasn't able to make it so I had to play both parts. I fell asleep and woke up about 5:00, call time was 5:30 so I left and rehearsed for the play, playing all three, Xylophone, Timpani, and Bells. It was great. The play went smoothly, the music sounded amazing, everything was on our side. After the play I fell asleep and had an... interesting dream... Overall it was a great day. I have to thank my doctor though because Ive been feeling so much better with the medication.
