Hee'sss Baaccckk!

I was actually home sick both Monday and Tuesday with freaking strep throat. Grrreeeaaatt! Unfortunatley I think what made it worse was that I probably waited too long to go to the doctor. Instead of just going last week when I first started getting sick I stupidly thought I could just get rid of it on my own with over-the-counter meds. Not exactly my brightest idea. So by the time I finally realized it was strep it was much worse than it normally is. This of course meant that the antibiotics seemed to take foorreevveer to start working!

By Tuesday I was feeling a little bit better but I worried that if I went to work I would push myself and just feel sicker the next day. So instead I gave myself another day of rest and watched “Pride and Prejudice” for about the billionth time… yeah, it was rough!

It was sooo annoying being sick though because here I am in beautiful Ireland, stuck inside with strep throat! And of course both Monday and Tuesday were gorgeous outside!! Plus by that point I’d really been cooped up inside since Saturday so I was actually pretty glad to get out of the house and make it to work Wednesday. The weather wasn’t as nice out yesterday but I wore a dress anyway- I’ll be damned if I’m gonna be stuck in jeans and a t-shirt my first day out in four days! Hehe.

After work on Wednesday I went to the pub with some coworkers because one of them was actually leaving the museum and it was her last day. I actually had a fun time and talked with Alice (the adorable English girl I may have mentioned before). She’s moving to Chicago at the end of October so I had a blast talking to her about that. We also actually got into a really good conversation too about Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the London subway attacks too- random, I know. But it started with my discussing wanting to be a history teacher and my interest in WWII and somehow it just evolved into this really great discussion.

Today Blair and I went back to the museum at Collin’s Barracks to finish working on our signage project. Unfortunately my two-day absence has put us a bit behind so we’ll probably need to work on it next week as well. Luckily my boss is really understanding and was fine with it.

Here’s where it really started to suck though… remember my museum stalker? Well heee’sss baaaccckkk. Crap.

I had told Blair about him before and how he would just magically appear in front of me when I swore he was in a different part of the museum. She didn’t believe me until she saw it for herself! We were in one of the exhibits when he came up to me and exclaimed, “I’ve met you before!!” Yes, yes unfortunately he had. Luckily Blair realized he was my ‘stalker’ and she got me out of the situation pretty quickly. But then two seconds later we turned the corner and suddenly he was in front of us again! Finally Blair understood what I meant when I said he would come out of nowhere. We had to work the rest of the day to avoid him and luckily we were rather successful. Now I just have to hope I don’t see him again next week when we’re back at Collin’s Barracks!!

Well it’s getting late and I leave for GERAMNY tomorrow so I should end by update here! So excited to be heading to Munich. Though my sister brought up a great point when she reminded me I don’t like German food: “Kelly, you’re going to starve.” Crap. Well I’m sure I’ll be able to find something that I like… hopefully!

(Oh and can I just add… it’s JULY?!?! How the hell did that happen!?)
