My client calls this morning, "do you have allergies, or something?" Translation: you sound fucked up. Okay, so she was sorta right...but still. I can't tell if this is sinuses or cold-related, but whatever... she continues on to play Ms. Nurse asking if I have a cough, etc. After the interview, she prescribes this Mucinex shit. It's supposed to be an expectorant -- whatever the fuck that means. I avoid medicine as much as possible -- i'm not into spawning super illnesses and I usually only get sick once a year or two. But, I've been told to get expectorants before, so what the hell...

So I have my illustrator pick me up some on his way to work (ah, power). I open up the bottle, get the heebie jeebies pulling the cotton balls out (*shiver*) per usual and drop one of two in my mouth. I thought these things smelled sort of foul, but man... it tastes like shit! And, fortunately for me, I didn't have a drink prepared. Oops.

So anyway, long story short... I dropped the two and thought, hmm. This seems to be working, or the little person in my nose turned off the faucet. Eventually, though, I found myself sneezing...a lot. I hate sneezing - it's so loud and painful and bleah. I just want to cry for mommy or something.

So, now, not only is my nose still suffering from leakage, I have sneezes. And, as if I needed more validation for my cold cocktail of NyQuil and Tylenol, all this extension goodness is valued around $18.00.

Think I should bill the client?
