in the Sun.

I hate taking medication. I don't know where I ever came up with this idea that taking medication makes me weak. I have this weird thought that I can fight off anything on my own, and that my body can deal with anything that comes it's way. Since living with a couple of girls who were OBSESSED with vitamins, and since having Eric to assure me that medication is okay to take sometimes, I've kind of started to come around on the idea. But last night I went to the walk-in clinic for my strep throat and got a prescription for 2 medicines to take! Eric went in the day before to a different doctor and got a pill he takes once a day for 5 days and he's done. Last night I got prescribed a pill to take 3 times a day for 7 days, PLUS some weird mouth wash type thing to gargle with 3 times a day for 7 days. So now I'm taking 2 medications for strep, with 2 types of vitamins I'm supposed to be taking, my birth control pill, and halls to make my throat feel better, until it gets better.

I feel a little bit silly relying this much on capsules, liquids and gels, but I'm getting over it. I'm already starting to feel a little better and that's a good sign. So I took my two strep medications this morning, along with some halls. I got my appetite back for breakfast, which is also good. So now I've just been sitting at home watching HGTV decorating and selling shows for like 2.5 hours. Laying in the sun of my living room. I LOVE the sun. I think it's half the reason I'm feeling better - maybe more. I feel so great when I'm in the sun. It's so relaxing and bright and wonderful. I know it sounds silly, but I feel like all of my inspiration, revelation and comfort comes when I'm in the sun. My throat isn't bothering me, and neither is the medication. I feel great, and am REALLY looking forward to a sunny and relaxing long weekend. I LOVE long weekends. Especially when the sun is out (even if it's cold).
