Nyquil Usage: Up. Grouchiness Level: 10/10.
I have now passed the 2nd full day of having a cold. A milestone? A national news event? Hardly. I am at the stage where every little sound bugs me and having contact with those of the human species makes me cringe. Showering is now optional, although I believe I will wash my hair tonight since it’s been 3 days and my own mother told me today,
“Beth, your hair looks like a rat slept in it.”
I had 2 pet rats. Trust me, their beds are a hell of a lot neater than my hair at the moment. I smell nothing and I taste nothing other than Burger King’s chili. If you haven’t had the pleasure of eating their chili-try it. Better than Wendy’s and a good source of fiber. Take my word. Since my mother’s water is turned off because of a leak, (I never posted this but I had a full day of phone calls with the water company last week and apparently water conservation is the last thing on their list), she had to come here to wash her clothes and shower. Before she left, she gave me a hug:
“You smell like menthol and something spicy.”
“Then don’t sniff me.”
I mean, I could smell worse, right? Yes, yes, the grouchiness level is high. So, I shall go pray to the Nyquil Gods, shower and curl up on the couch with my roll of toilet paper and and fight this demon of a cold.
I love Maxine!
I really hope you feel better soon.
May the Nyquil Gods look favourably upon you.
I wish you well, but in my humble opinion, for what it is worth (not much in most other people’s opinion), the “showering is now optional,” “rat hair” and “personal aroma description” things fall in the category of “way too much information.”
Get well. Please!
eh you know what they say… nyquil every night and dayquil every day!
Leigh: I’m feeling a little better and Nyquil is my new lover. I’m emailing you here in a few.
Joel: Well, I did shower last night AND this afternoon, so things are looking up. At least I didn’t mention the lack of leg shaving.
Steve: I take Nyquil 24/7 when I’m sick. Forget the Dayquil stuff. I want to sleep through my sickness not be hyped up like I’m smoking something illegal.
