A majority of the past week I have been fighting a bad head cold. I usually get one about once a year. Thankfully this year I didn’t lose my voice, which is usually a common trait of most colds I get. Either way it was annoying as hell. I think I have finally beaten it though, last night I was feeling quite alert. Just about every night this week about 8:00 I start to feel like I could fall asleep standing up. Eventually the misery just becomes unbearable and I go to bed only to have a restless and pseudo-sleepless night unless I take Nyquil which usually puts me right to sleep; but I hate medicated sleep because it leaves me feeling just as drowsy and lousy in the morning. Furthermore, my knees are screaming because Dayquil/Nyquil both contain acetaminophen which means I can’t take my Ultracet unless I want liver failure … joy. You can imagine I was in a gem of a mood …
