i’m trying to catch a cold.
not on purpose, mind, but the scritchiness is there just the same. i’m assuming it’s from the library. two of the ‘brarians have been out sick but let’s face it…after 3pm the joint is full of snot-nosed pants poopers from like, all the schools so no doubt where the GERMS are coming from.

so i thought i’d be all clever and head this thing off at the pass, right? so i went to flal-greens and bought zicam because i’d heard of it. and it’s this goop you mix in “your favorite hot or cold beverage!” i thought it was a powder, but no, it’s a goopy substance. not unlike a loogie. so it brags about it being this awesome stuff that you mix in your fave drink and that it’s flavorless so blahblahblah. it also says to lick out the medicine that sticks to the plastic spoon it comes in.

so i mix the medicinal loogie into some tea, right? and then i licked out the leftover medicine, right? well it turns out that the flavorless goo actually tastes just like poison. nummy.

s’anyway, i got the nighttime version of the stuff because i thought it would help me sleep better. about 40 minutes after i took it i was laying on the couch watching a program about hot dogs on the food channel. all a sudden i wake up all, “whoa, was i asleep?” and jimmy was burried in his laptop all, “huh? did you say something?” and i notice that the program is now all about cheese. i’m trying to figure out what tiem it is and how i’ve managed to fall asleep ON THE COUCH and also where the pillow came from. cos somehow i’ve got a bedroom pillow on the couch. i try asking jimmy about the pillow and he’s all, “are you drunk?” and i’m all, “fut mine not drinkning no boofze today.”
and he’s all, “uh huh.”
and i’m all, “it’s thils mledicine. i’m bed now.”
and i stumble to bed and immediately sleep.

when i woke up this morning? hangover city. and i could’ve slept until the 25th if i didn’t have to actually do things. 

i still feel like i’m catching a cold, but i don’t have the horrible headache i had yesterday. liz, i don’t know HOW you do it. i had a headache ALL DAY at work yesterday and i kept thinking, “how do people live like this? what did i do to deverve this? why does god hate me? why does he hate liz? oh just make it stop! i don’t want to live! i don’t! want! to live!”
jaimie with a headache = huge big baby.
