The Way You Make Me Feel...

.... really makes me want to sleep.   Not what you were expecting?  Well, I'm here with a funny story for you today.  But please be aware that I have been sick for going on two weeks and I am at the end of my rope with coughing and feeling like crud.   So, a little back story.  Monday night was  t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e for me and the husband.  I'm fairly sure somewhere between all my hacking and coughing that Brian was wishing he had not said I Do to such a loud, snotty, coughing, attempt of a wife.   But I was dying people.   I had tried every imaginable position there is to sleep and nothing was working.  I was constantly hacking (what sounded like my lungs up!) and never getting any kind of relief.  So genius me thinks I can just prop the pillows up and sleep "sitting up."   #notmybrightestmoment   It would work for a little while until I would get sooooo sleepy that I'd cozy my way down into the bed and snuggled back along my husband.  And then the hacking would start, AGAIN.   I finally gave up and went to the recliner.  At least there, I wasn't hacking in Brian's ears.  I'm sure he was sending a prayer of thanks at this point.  LOL.   Well.. moving on.   Yesterday, my honey shows up at my work with me some medicine, including some Robitussen.    I had not had any since I was a child, so I was intrigued to see if it worked on me since NyQuil doesn't.  I know, I know, I'm strange.   So bedtime came last night and I looked and how much I needed to take.  The directions said 10 mL.  Well, I poured that and it didn't look like enough to me, so I poured more.    Then I poured another little cup full.   Then during the night, I got up two more times for more "as needed shots" of the medicine.   Now, let's talk about how I felt THIS MORNING.   There is only one word to describe me: Drunk.   Ya'll.  I was a mess.  A hot mess.   I left a mess in the house.  I don't remember driving to work hardly. I couldn't concentrate for the first few hours of work.   So yes, the good ole Robitussen works, but I strongly encourage you to stay within the suggested amount.   You've been warned, haha!   Oh, and yes, I'll be taking more tonight.  But I think I'll leave it at the recommended dosage too!
