Bev calls in ‘sick’ Thursday and spends the day in her bed/on her couch, doing absolutely nothing.
Bev wakes up feeling like shit Sunday morning.
It never fails. It’s like God is trying to strike me down for lying. I mean, come on, God- taking a sick day is the behavior of mine that you really think deserves punishment?
Anyway, I just left the grocery store, where I spent $100 on Super Bowl food (tortellini salad and a bag of Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles because why not), a 12-pack of Silver Bullets, and two types of cold medicine.
Is it me, or is the cold medicine aisle, like, really overwhelming? Drowsy, non-drowsy, congestion, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches. Dear God, if you don’t have a headache when you enter that aisle, you sure do when you leave it. I also have a bit of PTSD from a high school experience where MamaG sent me with some “non-drowsy” cold medicine to take before my volleyball practice. It was either Comtrex or Sudafed, but I secretly wonder if it was OxyContin, because I don’t remember volleyball practice. That is literally two hours of my life that I have zero recollection of, and this was when I was like fifteen, so that wasn’t just a normally Saturday night yet.
Anyway, I left the store today with some Zicam and some Tylenol Cold or something. After a quick check with cousin Timmy that taking these two meds together won’t kill me, I’m one dose in, and not feeling any different at all. Thanks, Zicam and Tylenol Cold! Later today, I’ll switch over to medicating with those Silver Bullets I mentioned above, and you know what? I bet they work better than this crap.
Stay tuned.
Oh, and go Falcons. I would love nothing more than to see them deflate Brady’s balls on live TV in a few hours.

February 6, 2017 at 2:45 pmcomtrex! thanks for the flashback! Mama G most likely gave you that.
go with mucinex. i was advised that by someone* who generally does not use western medicine. So. it’s for real. use that.
all i know about the super bowl is that my girl played the halftime show and managed to resist addressing the Peach. I heard she looked gooooooood.

February 6, 2017 at 7:45 pmThat shit’s expensive, Marcella! But, I’ll keep it in mind for next time… I am not necessarily gaga for Gaga, but I thought it was pretty good!

February 5, 2017 at 12:35 pm1. $100 dollars on chips and tortelinni salad? With that spending, you shoulda splurged and went with the tostitos bag that tells you if youre ok to drive or not tonight. 2. When in doubt, ALWAYS go with dayquil. 3. Atleast it’s not next Sunday!
