i have a cold: runny nose, loose cough with a touch of sore throat. it's my reading break so i'm home for a few days. now that i finally have a wide assortment of herbal and pharmaceutical remedies at my disposal i thought i'd take the opportunity to self medicate. before bed, i took some cough syrup, drank a package of neocitran in hot water and took some vitamin c and echinacea. i've never had such a horrible sleep.

i had chills, going from freezing to sweating hot several times during the night. but that's not even the worst part - i was sleeping awake. i was actually playing games in my head. you know that "word by association" game where you think of a word and then another person has to think of a word that's related to it? yea, thats what i did all night. except i played it by myself obviously. what was even worse was that i think i tossed and turned every time i came up with a new word.

i don't want a repeat tonight. *posted by danes at 4:27 PM -
