Feeling Good Again (Finally)...
YES, I'm finally feeling good again, after suffering through a bad cold for about 7 or 8 days...It started last Tuesday, only to get worse for a few days despite the many different concoctions of cold medicine I took from the get-go...
I had all sorts of issues: a bad cough (and the headaches that came with it), sinus problems (also known as 'stuffy head' according to the Nyquil commercials), horrible congestion, and other aches and pains, all of which combined made it hard to sleep...I basically had to sleep upright for about a week, while keeping a cup nearby in case I needed to hock (sp?) any loogies (sp?)...
After spending over 20 bones at the drug store on two separate occasions--after taking advice from multiple sources--something finally worked...I was beginning to question if Nyquil did anything except knock me out for a few hours at a time...At the same time, the Vicks Vapor Rub seemed to work ok, although I was always afraid of getting that 'goo' on my comforter and pillowcases, in addition to the fact that it left a nice 'film' behind the next day, even after taking a shower...
Then throw in some Sudafed, Wal-borne (Walgreens brand Airborne), Ricola, Halls, Dayquil, Walgreens Cold tablets (severe congestion), Cold-Eeze, as well as some good ol' Vitamin C for good measure...and YES, I'm finally feeling better...
Oh, and plus, I stayed out of smokey bars all weekend and avoided alchohol (hmm, maybe a few drinks would've helped, though)...
But YES, something finally worked...
(On a side note, I don't think yelling at the refs at the Rice vs. Memphis game this past Saturday helped at all, as I lost my voice that night, but these striped shirts were atrocious...At one point, I was making up new words as I yelled at them because I was having trouble letting them know what I thought of them in plain English...)
Anyway, I feel about 85% right now--actually, maybe closer to 90% or so--and it couldn't have come at a better time, as I'm heading out of town for the weekend on Thursday evening...
I'm going to Columbia, Missouri, home of one of my best friends from college, Mr. Pauly Aronson...Five of us will be meeting up there to catch-up, as well as fit in a 'charity' hold 'em tournament and maybe even a 'mini' bachelor party for our friend Rajul...You know, sort of a 'pre-bachelor-party-bachelor-party'...
Before I finished packing for my trip tonight, I thought it would be wise to check what sort of weather we should be expecting in Boone County, Missouri this weekend...According to weather.com, the highs/lows for the weekend are 38/23, 33/21, and 40/26, respectively, with the possibility of some occasional flurries on Saturday...
Just what the doctor ordered...
Hopefully I can post a report on the weekend at some point early next week...If I'm still feeling alright, of course...
Have a good weekend everyone, and Roll Owls...
