I awakened this morning with my kid literally in my face saying wake up and a whole lot of ‘what the hell is going on?’ inside my head. I was super disoriented this morning and still, I’m trying to bring myself to focus.
Okay, so I confess, I didn’t measure the NyQuil in the little plastic cup the bottle comes with last night. Instead, I drank what I thought would’ve been the proper dosage and to be honest, with as hard as I slept last night, I think I took a wee bit too much. I hadn’t slept that hard in so long and honestly, it felt wonderful. I didn’t drink the green gag inducing liquid just because I simply wanted a little shuteye. Before bed, I was coughing up a storm and when it came time to go to bed, I slid under the comforter as discreetly as possible, hoping I wouldn’t wake the sleeping hubby. My head hit the pillow and I got comfy cozy.
And then there it was.
I feel the urge to cough…you know, that little tickle you get near your tonsils. I try to ignore the nagging feeling, but it became too much. With my mouth closed, I coughed very softly and wouldn’t you know…that one little cough brought on a coughing fit. Knowing I was disturbing Michael, I unwillingly slide out of bed, shuffle into the kitchen and rummage through the meds we have in the cabinet and find good ole’ trustworthy NyQuil.
Back in the bedroom again, I grab my pillow and new blanket and take them out to the living room where I crash on the couch. I must’ve needed the sleep because next thing I know, I’m out like a lamp…which is fine with me because it just plain sucks when your own coughing keeps you up for hours. My dreams were so incredibly vivid and I remember everything about them. I even told off someone I don’t like and am forced to deal with 5 days a week. I called them the biggest asshole on earth and added emphasis when I formed my hands into a circle to show them how big an asshole they are. Despite it feeling really good in my dreams , I know in reality doing so would land my ass into some really hot water. So, with that said, I’m simply going to be satisfied with what I got out of my dream and sit here and continue writing merrily.
And don’t worry…I won’t be joining the NyQuil Anonymous Association anytime soon.

thank God it's not that serious, but still it mustta feel uncomfortable !
sometimes we cause harm to ourselves cause we don't really pay enough attention to what we're doing
I've taken a little too much Nyquil on accident before too. I felt really groggy the next day though. I use the little plastic cap to measure now hehe. Great blog though, I am glad to have stumbled across it!
