So I’m not sure how I did it, but I am sick. I’ve got a damn cold and its a balmy 80 degrees outside. Go figure.

Yesterday I was miserable. I couldn’t go five minutes with out sneezing, which led to blowing my nose, which led to constant use of hand sanitizer. Then the cycle would start all over again. (It was really amazing that I got anything accomplished!) I kept IMing Simeon to keep him updated on my status. (Misery loves company.) He told me he had some Sudafed in his desk he would give me at lunch time. Alas, there was a ray of light!

It had never taken so long for lunch to come. I was daydreaming about Sudafed. I was really miserable. So I drove over to Sim’s office to pick him up for lunch. I called his cell to let him know I was almost in the parking lot and jokingly asked, “You got the stuff?” He said he did and would be right down. Finally I was united with my Sudafed, which when he saw the look in my eyes understood my pain and Sim announced he had my “Suda-friend.”

Once the medicine started to work my symptoms lessened, but were still there. Needless to say, I went to bed quite early, with my other friend NyQuil.

Today as soon as I got up I popped a couple Tylenol Severe Congestion and have been wandering around with medicine head. Sometimes I don’t know what is worse, the cold symptoms or the medication symptoms. Whatever the case, I need this cold gone by the weekend, cause it my birthday! Wahoo!
