With a throat this sore

you can't tell me its not strep. I went to the doctor today and they did the quick strep test and it came back negative. They said I had a sinus infection and gave me erythermicin. Fine, antibiotics is a good thing, but my throat is KILLING me. I just went to Walgreens to stock up on some more Halls Breezers - they are the only thing (and tons and tons of acetomenophin) getting me through this. And i hope i don't get in trouble for missing today after being sick thurs. afternoon, all day friday, going in yesterday, and going to the doctor and then calling in sick for the rest of the day today. I felt horrible and Riley decided that she was sick too and wouldn't be convinced to go to school (and she was up at 5 am and then crashed by 6....so i took pity on her and let her stay with me). And now i'm up at 1:30 because my throat is killing me. Damn.
