On cough syrup stuff.
Ok, here is what happened:
My youngest got really sick and gave it to my son and myself. So the sickness makes your throat raw and you are feverish and ache a lot. Well I found some antibiotics that we had and seeing that we had taken her to the doctors and she got antibiotics...he and I proceeded to take our "bootleg" ones.
I had gone to the store and purchased juice and noodle soup...all the good stuff and prepared to be down and out for the weekend. I had stayed up thru the night several nights this week trying to make it to deadlines with my work accomplished. SO, I was ALREADY tired and a bit knocked off schedule.
Well as the Friday went on, everyone started to feel a bit better. The antibiotics were working by Saturday morning and I figured if we keep taking our medicine we would be fine by Monday. Everyone is getting better, but me. I got this drunk feeling. I thought that maybe the medicine was strong on my system seeing with the sore throat I had not eaten much.
Yesterday I really started to question how hard I have been pushing myself, because I could not fall asleep on Saturday, and worked again all night. Strange thing is, I was not tired...hmmm. With that thought, I pushed harder and thought to myself, "Hey, while you have the energy, take advantage..."
I guess my reasoning was off because I really was all over the place like I had just taken mind altering drugs. I know I stayed up all night, trying to finish taxes, but it is all a mess today. So I took no more medicine last night. I thought that I was having a reaction and should stop.
WHY DID I WAKE UP STILL TRIPPING THIS AM?
I came home early from work because I really was not in my right mind and as I pulled stuff out of my back pocket, I found these cough strips I had been taking for my throat. I tore open one an as I placed it on my tounge, like I had so many times this weekend... I realized that these were not the same as cough drops....THEY WERE A FULL DOSE OF MEDICINE EACH.
OMGI had been popping them like they were cherry cough drops. So finally 'Tired" kicked S'tupids' a$$, and I slept a bit...TODAY. I had been awake, just like I was a meth addict, since Saturday morning. When I woke up just now, I could feel my face again. The world was not such a happy floaty place, and my taxes are not as rosey as I redu them...
Note to ALL: They are not cough strips...read the package! They are cough medicine. lol I am glad it was me and not the kids.
