It's better to look good than feel good

Better to look good than feel good

I've been sick most of December. I had some hideous illness the week of the 12th, and never really bounced by the way I would have liked to. This week I am definitely down to about two bars on old the energy scale. I even started to fall asleep during King Kong, which given the large number of action packed scenes and dinosaurs (a personal favorite), was definitely not normal!

So I've taking Nyquil for a couple days, well, nights actually. But, did you know that they took Pseudoephedrine out of Nyquil? Yeah, it's a decongestant, the absence of which makes Nyquil somewhat Pseudo-effective. For sinus sufferers like me at any rate.

If I would have had any clue that they'd remove the primary effective ingredient from my beloved Nyquil, I would have bought gallons of it a couple years ago! And now it's a big production to even buy the little red p!lls at the pharmacy. I stopped the other night, being sick and all, and I swear there was more paperwork and documentation involved than there was when I purchased my last car! Really, I'm not too happy about this whole thing.

So basically, I blame the new, less effective Nyquil for my continued state of sickness. But where did I get sick in the first place?

Hmm, since I've been in about 87% of the stores in the area during the last three weeks, I guess I may have picked something up from one of the unwashed masses out shopping, stocking shelves or cashiering.

The other possibility involves some make-up I ordered from an infomercial. It came a couple weeks ago. I certainly hope it wasn't packaged on a poultry farm in China, but you never know. Needless to say, if I DO die from Bird Flu in the next couple days, you should have a pretty good idea where I caught it.

That's right. It WAS beauty killed the beast . . .
