So I got sent home with no medicine and a prescription to buck up and quit my bitching. I was fever free today, so I decided that I might as well try running a bit. The dog was really housebound, so she needed to get out for at least a walk. If you're wondering how I could tell she needed to get out, it because she starts doing stuff like this:
 |
| Can't stop, won't stop |
I was able to complete 6.5 miles (4.5 on the treadmill in addition to the 2 miles outside) without making myself feel any worse, so I call it a win. The doctor did want to culture my throat swabs, but they won't have results until Wednesday and I'm pretty if I waited until then to workout that I'd kill some innocent person at Target in an endorphin-deprivation induced rage fit.
Faith seems to feel a lot better today, but I can tell she's not 100%.
 |
| Oh, I'm so tired |
 |
| Just kidding, KUNG FU TODDLER! |
She was getting stir crazy being cooped up in the house, so I let her play out in the driveway since it was actually under 90 degrees today. I'm trying to wait until tomorrow to let her play in the pool or sprinkler because I don't want her to catch a chill from cold hose water. I made Peanut join us because she otherwise drives me nuts by barking at us from inside.
 |
| This is literally the most boring thing ever, and I'm a freaking dog. |
I could tell that Faith wasn't feeling good because she asked to go inside after just 20 minutes. Normally I have to make her come inside, but after some cold water she was ready to run laps in the kitchen, so she must not feel too bad.
 |
| I need to hydrate after spreading all those Legos. Phew! |
Side note: I'm a huge fan of these little Deer Park for kids water bottles. The little bottle makes her so excited to drink water, plus the water has fluoride (our normal tap water doesn't). Obviously Deer Park didn't pay me to talk about this, but if they sent me a free lifetime supply, I would get a Deer Park tattoo. Think about it Deer Park, think about it.
I know I said I wouldn't subject everyone to pictures of my burned hand, but I can't resist just one. I'm having so much fun grossing my husband out with this (at least it doesn't hurt anymore, so I can enjoy the humor part of the burn).

| Even a manicure wouldn't have helped this picture |
For a palate cleanser after that picture, look at my pretty new bracelets!

| Please ignore the prostrate toddler in the background |
Which is grosser, bloody Nylabone or burn blister? I really included some quality content today, you're welcome.
That burn is sweet. You know sometimes strep tests are negative and you still have strep, right? We always have that problem with Nylabones. And plastic water bottles. Dogs are gross.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know the rapid strep test can be a false negative, but I'm hoping I don't find out on Wednesday when my throat culture is done that I've had strep this whole time :)
DeleteOuch, that looks like it hurt. I'd much rather look at burn pictures or dog poop or vomit than people's feet so I wasn't grossed out at all.
ReplyDeleteThat burn looks pretty good. I pictured it to be much worse than that. Builds character right?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it hurt way worse than it looked. The other fingers only got tiny blisters. That's why this post title is so appropriate. :)
DeleteYou should post video of when you pop that sucker.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll gain some good followers.
Also, I had to re-read that last part because I thought you wrote "prostate toddler".
and I hope everyone admires all the work you put in to make your forearms so hairless.
Jeff keeps begging me to pop it haha
DeleteDo it!!
DeleteThose bracelets are so nice. It's good to see that Faith is feeling better. The B was getting a rash around ger neck and since I'm so suggestible I was convinced she has scarlet fever too. Turns out she just has an infected heat rash.
ReplyDeleteYou crazy woman! Love this post. I get the feeling you;re feeing a little, uh, cooped up?!
ReplyDeleteI hope Faith feels better soon, poor darling!
You could tell?? Haha I don't do well with staying inside :)
DeleteBungee just sleeps or looks at us mournfully if we don't run her. Yesterday I took her for four miles and today she's batshit with energy. This makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteNylabone is grosser than the blister I think.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you, Faith and Peanut are tired of being stuck inside! Hope you guys start feeling better soon.
One more month of this crappy weather, right? Please tell me it ends in September.
Feel better soon! Or just quit faking it at least!
ReplyDeleteDid you make those bracelets? I like how simple they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd you should totally pop the blister. I can't beleive you haven't yet - I would have popped it days ago, but then again I love all the gross things a human body does. Picking scabs off is cool too. :)
I so badly want to pop this blister it is killing me. I also love to pop zits on people. I'm sick.
ReplyDeleteI hope Faith is feeling much better soon! Whenever I have strep it never appears on the quick test. I hope you don't have it, it's not very fun. Everytime someone in my house gets it, I get it. I've gotten to the point where I can diagnose myself and the kids just by the smell. Fun times at my house. And pop that damn blister woman.
ReplyDeleteUm, ouch. Like others are saying, I probably would've popped that thing by now. I've also never seen a Nylabone shaped like a dinosaur? My dogs are deprived, they just get the ones that look like bones.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know what the dog picture was so I'll obviously vote for the blister, EW. How are you not popping it? I want to jump through the screen with a safety pin.
ReplyDeleteSo is someone going to get killed in the rage you experience when you can't work out for 6 weeks post birth?
Glad everyone's feeling better!
Well damn. I should have taken a picture of the dead, eviscerated rat that my dog ROLLED HERSELF ON yesterday to rival your grossness.
ReplyDeleteWell damn. I should have taken a picture of the dead, eviscerated rat that my dog ROLLED HERSELF ON yesterday to rival your grossness.
ReplyDeleteWell damn. I should have taken a picture of the dead, eviscerated rat that my dog ROLLED HERSELF ON yesterday to rival your grossness.
ReplyDeleteI agree...pop the blister, use fingernail clippers to clip away the dead skin, then top it with super glue. It adheres for days, is low profile, and protects as well if not better than the water-filled skin. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat blister is nasty, but the bloody bone wins. Top quality content today.
ReplyDeleteI'm always so annoyed if I go to the doctor and I'm fine. Once my mom dragged me to the ER with a crazy high fever in the middle of the night, got there and it was down to like 99 degrees. So embarrassing.
The bloody bone definitely. And I love your bracelets!
