I’ve been feeling under the weather this week. I caught whatever Jen had last week. I’ve felt really lethargic, congested, sniffly. Night before last I had a really hard time sleeping since my throat was so sore; I kept waking up in the night and couldn’t fall back asleep. So last night I wasn’t taking any chances: I hit the Nyquil before hitting the sack. I wanted to be knocked out. And wow, was I ever. I slept very deeply and didn’t get out of bed until close to 10 this morning.
I hardly ever take Nyquil (I can’t remember the last time I did) and I’m hardly ever sick — maybe once a year or so. But when I am, it gets me pretty hard for a few days.
Coincidentally (or not?), I was sick (probably the last time that I was) a year ago today.
