I'm Sick

Yesterday morning I started feeling like crap. By last night I was in such a state that in the car ride home I pulled up my hood and tried to hold my head up with my hands because my neck wasn't going to be able to handle the weight. The whole time during the supper I didn't even want to look or talk to anyone. I just wanted to go home to bed. Although, the meal was really good and I laughed a bit I mostly just sat and stared or rubbed my temples to try and get some of that crap moving around in my sinus'.

I stopped at the store on the way home to buy some drugs. Everyone has their "thing" that they take when they are sick. So, I took my dad's advice and bought some nasal spray to clean out my nose. I also bought some liquid cold medicine because it makes me feel better than pills. I opened up the bottle and was greeted with the wretched smell of black licorice. Seriously, they should put a warning on those bottles.

Warning: "This is going to taste like a Flaming Sambuca shot"

It's a good thing I can't taste too well but I still gagged the whole time trying to swallow it. 7 dollars down the drain. I was then bombarded with memories of white water kayaking when I received the "award" of Most Out Of Control Kayaker of the trip. I was then handed a thick glove and a metal pop can cut in half with a utility knife full of Flaming Sambuca. Literally, I had to blow it out and down it. I received many awards that night and woke up in the back of the Kelsey van on the floor with my teacher poking me in the back with a twig to see if I was still alive. It wasn't a good morning and I definitely didn't want to taste this memory last night.

Now, I have to go back to the store and buy some cherry flavored medicine so I can sleep tonight and be better for work on Monday. Wish me luck.
