jesus h. i have “The Cold,” as eric so correctly dubbed it. it started sometime in the night and i woke up thursday morning and i just knew. here we go. all day long i was ready to lie down and die. but i still went to work. the best part was knowing i was nowhere near the worst of it. knowing that friday or saturday would be WAY worse. that’s why i went to work thursday. i knew i’d likely have to call-in on saturday. i swear those people are gonna think i’m full of shit and fire me. i honestly don’t think i care. i can’t help that my immune system never fully recovered after i had mono. and that’s all i can really figure ’cause for about a year and a half, i was never truly sick, and i never picked up everyone else’s ailments so easily. i’ll tell you after tomorrow night whether robitussin tablets or nyquil gelcaps are the way to go for your nighttime cold. if the nyquil knocks me out like it usually does, that’ll win. the robotussin definitely brought on improvement, but it didn’t stop the incessant runny nose that woke me around every 20 minutes.
oh and i’m really pissed at kleenex. i remember when the kleenex with lotion–HAD LOTION. i remember your nose felt all lotion-y after using them but at least it didn’t hurt. the last two boxes i’ve bought of kleenex with lotion have shown no sign of lotion. none. someone get me some damn puffs!
