I am dumb.

I was sick, sick, sick this weekend.

Not as sick as saratinia was last week, but still pretty freaking miserable.

And I made myself even more miserable.

I bought No Name Extra Strength Sinus Medication. When I buy No Name drugs, I usually just make sure that the medicinal ingredients and amounts are the same as the name brand version. It was the same stuff as Tylenol for Sinus, so I bought it.

I read how much to take and how often, but I didn't quite do all my research.

It contains Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, which is a stimulant. The packaging actually says "Reduce dosage if nervousness or sleeplessness occurs." Wish I'd read that before last night. 40 minutes of sleep, woken by nightmares. I ended up on the bathroom floor (the only room in the house with locking doors) trying to calm down. When I finally cleared my head, I was totally jittery and paced for about an hour.

I got about 3 hours of sleep total last night.

No more non drowsy Extra Strength Sinus Medication after 4 pm for me.

I actually considered that. But then I'd miss NCIS, and House and Gilmore Girls.

TV is way more important than my health, don't you know?

Don't make me come over there missy.

Yes Mom. I'll eat all my brussels sprouts and take my medicine like a good girl. :)

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

I don't care about the sprouts, just get some rest.

I actually did get to bed by 11 last night, and slept solidly, thanks to the miracles of Neo-Citran.

I'm feeling not too bad today.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

11:00 is still late. What time do you get up?

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

6ish, 6:20 today. That gets me on the 7 am bus, and then I sleep for another hour and a half to two hours.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

You can sleep on a bus? Not me. Gotta be in my own bed or fer-get it!

I've always been able to sleep in vehicles - cars, buses, planes, boats. In fact, the trick is keeping me awake.

That's why I have so much planned for the drive to Atlanta - so I can stay awake to keep you awake!

You fall asleep, we'll end up in New Mexico!

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to go to New Mexico....

*Making mental note for future road trips*

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea, if this works out. We could even rent an RV and take hubs and kids.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Now that would be scary insteresting.

The last vacation we took, we went to Virginia with whatawookie, her husband and their three-month-old daughter.

It was awesome.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Ah-ha! The daughter was too young to talk back.

[whatawookie.livejournal.com]

And now I have two, one of whom isn't.

Traditionally, on vacations with family and friends, the adults whine more than the kids.

Dude, you could even "rent" my RV.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Road Trip!!!

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

Heh, as I recall, the adults were the whiny ones on the Virginia trip. :)

It still went pretty well though, D's whining and all. Wait, I didn't mean to point fingers....

How old is your daughter? I seem to remember she's about 7. That is definately a mouthy age. I remember getting in so much trouble when I was 7. And 8, and 9 and 10....

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

... and 11, and 12, and 13...

She'll be 8 09/01.

Sleep on the couch? That's resting, isn't it?

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

In my world it is.
