I hate being sick. I hate coughing. I have not slept more than 2 hours at a time. The last good sleep I had was during the last 8 minutes of the Cowboys game Sunday. No, I’m not trying to be funny. There was 8 minutes left, I shut my eyes, and when I opened them, The Simpsons was coming on. I am so fucking tired right now. Something keeps waking me up every hour or so. Not a sound, just *bing* and I’m awake. I gave up around 9:30 this morning and dragged myself out to do my civic duty and vote. There were no lines. Whee for being sick. I hoped–HOPED–leaving the house would tire me enough to just pass out. Hahahahahahaha. Not even the so called “nighttime” medicine has done its job other than stopping my cough. Fuck you, Robitussin. You used to be cool. What happened, man?

Zicam (the makers of zinc infused snot on a Q-tip) makes a liquid multi-symptom cold/flu medication. It is clear. It says “any flavor you choose!” meaning you can mix it into soda, juice, water, whatever. I assumed that mean it had little to no flavor period. In fact, right on the bottle it says “Virtually taste free when mixed in any hot or cold beverage”. That’s important to note: when mixed in any hot or cold beverage. I took it straight. That’s some of the nastiest, artificially sweetened shit I have ever tasted. I would rather take orange/yellow Tussin (the stuff not even my mom will take) than this shit. Goddamn.

I watched 27 Dresses. All of it.

I’m too tired to sleep, too tired to do anything else. Ass. This is ass.
