hop sniggity slop
So I'm sick. I have some sort of cold. I was fine for most of the day but about 15 minutes ago I sneezed and kept sneezing for about 15 minutes.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have the tolerance of a high school cheerleader who has never had alcohol but really wants to be "cool" and to "do it for her boyfriend." Meaning, I don't touch the stuff, never really have and since I haven't, uh, well, I get loopy from just about anything.
Tonight it's a big dose of alka-seltzer's nyquil knock off. I'm not drunk. Well not drunk in the sense where I don't know what I'm doing or what I'm going to do, I'm just sort of warm and fuzzy and wishing that the bed was closer to the computer so I could type as things fade away.
God, I need a life.
I caught this cold at work, of course. One of the many many people who came in gave it to me. I hate them all for it. Well, not really, but I've really got to start working evenings and after work hours when there are more people closer to MY age. Endless old people and yelling mothers are getting to me as well.
Today. God. Today I almost lost it.
Woman comes in all in a huff. When she comes up to my register she has a ton of towels. She says that her teenage son is doing something to them. I ask what. She volunteers that whatever it is (she thinks it's from his zit cream) it is leaving white streaks on the towels and staining them.
I didn't say a word. I just sold her new towels and told her to come again.
True, story, btw.
So I'm home and I fell asleep after work, almost missed my night job because all I really want to do is stay in bed. All I want and all I care about is sleep. Sleep and more sleep. Sleep and red headed girls who want to cuddle. Girls. Not grandmas. The grandmas are starting to freak me out just a little bit.
The nyquillish stuff is hitting me now. The world is a blur but I've stopped sneezing. This stuff works fast. No wonder people use it to get high. I just want to be happy enough to go to sleep so I stop dreaming about either work for as long as possible in order to get through the night.
Can I do it?
Probably not. I know nothing else at this point.
So scared of everything.
