Look of the Day: Stop the Chop

On Saturday I took a break from my Giants gear (it was a travel day for them) and I put on some festival gear instead. I suppose it was a good idea that I lived it up festival style for the day because Sunday morning I woke up with strep throat.

Normally that wouldn't be a big deal but it is the 5th time I have gotten strep since May, and the four other times landed me in the hospital because my strep progressed immediately into pneumonia, and then into an infection in my blood. I think I caught it early enough this time, but looks like my tonsils going to have to come out.

Sunday was spent laying on the couch, popping penicillin and watching sports. I think the Giants knew I needed some cheering up and stole the game from the Braves for me. Today I will have to get my gear back on, it's time to stop the chop!
I dressed like normal person for one day at least.

  5. Amber I am sorry you are ill again. I had my tonsils removed when I was 4, and haven't had strep since! My gf got hers taken out 4 years or so ago and is so much healthier.

    Yay for your Giants!!!

  7. Love your festival outfit. I saw lots of interesting outfits that should have taken a page out of your notebook this weekend at ACL.

    I had my tonsils out when I was 18 and I have lived a much healthier life ever since. Hope you feel better soon!
