jeriendhal | Hey, NyQuil Driver...

Tuesday I woke up with a sore throat and put it down to sinuses draining. Got through the day at work then took a sudafed before going to sleep at 9:30pm. Woke up at 1:15am and just couldn't go back to sleep, esp. since I started dry coughing every time I laid down. Called out of work and tried to get back to bed about 8:30am, and just couldn't get comfortable. Worse I wasn't hungry, and only ate a couple of slices of plain bread for breakfast, plus a cup of rice pudding that tasted horribly rich. Finally I took a dose of NyQuil and 10am and slept until almost 2pm, waking up feeling shivery and achey.

Picked up the kids from school and when Tracy got back from work I laid back in bed at 6:30pm, after eating a little bowl of soup. Woke up at 10:30pm, dry heaved briefly, then took more NyQuil and slept until almost 3:30am. Nose is now running like a sewer and I'm still exhausted, but I dragged myself to work anyway after taking another Sudafed.
