Just A Spoonful of NyQuil...

I've been fighting a cold for the past week.  It's been miserable.  I've been miserable. Stonewall and Lil Mootz each have the same cold, so they've been miserable.  Needless to say, it's been pretty...well, marked by an atmosphere lacking in cheer here at the Yummy household.  (I didn't want to overdo it with the word "miserable."

So I've been taking NyQuil every night. 

Ah, NyQuil.  It is both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing because I can sleep.  While my nights may be full of coughing and a stuffy nose, I don't know it because I am dead to the world.  For seven glorious hours the tickle in the throat and the pressure in my sinuses disappear.  Well, they don't disappear.  I'm just so drugged up I don't notice them.  It's all the same to me, really.

But a curse because no matter how well I think I sleep, I am still dead tired the next day.  This morning I was so out of it that I crashed into our armoire door as I was walking to the bathroom.  My body is up and moving today, but my head is still in la-la land.

I'm seriously considering pulling a George Constanza and curling up underneath my desk.

I think I might nyquil it out around 4:00 tonight! I feel absolutely miserable! And even though I napped and fell asleep extra early yesterday I still woke up feeling like death.

Nyquil sounds like a good idea right now!

Especially since we are out of Advil cold and sinus and to get it around here you have to have a prescription (Yay for living in the Methamphetamine capital of the world! haha)
I'll have to let ya know how the nyquil goes haha

Can you find Buckley's medicine in the States? It is an old standby in Canadaa and there is a nighttime one that is fantastic, and also addresses the cold/flu symptoms and I believe the ingredients are fairly natural. feel better! here's the address ... http://buckleys.com/index.html and no, I don't have stocks in the company but I wish I did!
