Sometimes life enjoys kicking me in the ass.
Ever notice how much medicine costs? It's fucking expensive, even for the store brand stuff, that in my opinion, works better then the name brand stuff. Anyway, to combat these high prices my family usually buys the hospital-sized medicine packs (you know those 12 packs of dayquil). But here's the thing. We never get sick.
So I get sick last night, and it was the oddest thing ever. I felt icky when I woke up yesterday morning, but it wasn't horrible, I could still function. It was one of those things where you don't have a sore throat but shit is constantly in your throat. Went clothes shopping for a viewing I had to go to, and went to the viewing and stuff. Went to the bar afterwards and as soon as I sat down at the bar it's was like the same exact moment my immune system lost the opening battle of the war that is now this sickness. I leave the bar at 11:30pm just feeling uber icky. By 12:45 I am knee-deep in flu or severe cold. Headaches, nose disgustingness, sneezing. I'm glad I got home before that.
So this morning along with my Airborne (i know about the lawsuit) I raid the medicine closet (we really need a whole closet for this shit) for some dayquil. Well we had a shitload of dayquil. Only catch was it expired in 2004. I called out of work so I figured what the hell, where's the nyquil? That expired in 2006. So I have 20 bottles of various dayquils, nyquils, tylenol sinus gelcaps, etc etc and it is all expired. What the fuck? My mom is one of those people where if it's at least a decade since the expiration date, it's still good. Hell I won't use milk if its 3 days before the expiration date.
So here I am withering away unmedicated trying to get to sleep even though my nose is stuffed and feels like it weighs five pounds. Ughhh.
