*snork*
I was too bunned to write last night. I have been so stoned either from the cold, the medication or both.
So yesterday I decided to buy some Nyquil, because I haven’t really been sleeping – I keep waking up all night to cough or pee or float around on big pink clouds.
So I took the Nyquil last night at 8:00, thinking that I’d have a great sleep. Well, guess who woke up at 2:00? Was it you? No, it was me. And I almost got on the computer cuz I felt like I wasn’t gonna fall back asleep.
But instead, I went out to couch and laid down and finally drifted into 5 minutes sleeps, then waking, then snooze, then wake. I was half awake when the alarm went off at 6:00.
Now I didn’t take any last dosage of Nyquil before bed cuz after I took it I was feeling more bunned, so I decided that’s it for the cold medicine – it doesn’t sit well with me.
But when I got up this morning I was more bunned than ever and spent my entire day like that even though I was taking nothing. So I decided to go to the doctor at lunch time.
I was waiting an hour – exactly an hour – til I saw the doctor. He saw me for two minutes. He asked if I still had that puffer from when I had a cold last September and I said yes. He asked if I still had the other puffer – the normal one and I said yes. So he told me to take the antibiotic puffer for 5 days, with the normal one, and get this prescription nasal spray for my stuffed up nose.
Thanks, doc. I had almost prescribed that for myself yesterday, but I couldn’t remember how many days to take the antibiotic one. I was thrilled to wait an hour for that, and get back to work 15 minutes late.
Needless to say, since I still felt like crap all afternoon, I decided that I would leave at 4:00. My honey was downtown to do some banking, so he picked me up. It was good to have a ride home when you’re a vegetable.
As I sit here right now with my droopy, half-closed eyes (which could also be a side effect from the botox, I dunno), and my snuffly nose and my hacking cough, I think of all the times my honey tells me that I’m beautiful, and I appreciate that. Especially thinking back to how I looked the other day – like Jack Nicholson in that movie ‘About Schmidt’.
I’ve asked my ex to switch weekends with me for my daughter, so I don’t give it to her too. Who knows, maybe I’ll get some sleep on the weekend.

Awww – get well soon! And that Nyquil? It’s great stuff (even when you’re not sick and need some shut eye). The only draw back is how dehydrated it leaves you feeling.
