Monday Little Turkey and I ventured out. I had an 11:30 appt with the Dr. since my throat had felt like I’d been swallowing knives for 3 days. I thought surely I had strep- but no.

It’s helping me to accomplish things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get them all checked off!
