Awake

[susandennis]

My parents had this medical theory that if you took Coricidin at the very first sign of a cold, it would chase it away or at least minimize it. I know it can't be true but I have such a fear of getting a cold that I try it. What could it hurt. But, happily, I catch colds so infrequently that my Coricidin has an expiration date of 9/2011. But, I took it anyway. And I'm pretty sure that's why I slept. 2 hours yesterday afternoon. And then I turned out the lights last night about 9 and woke up this morning at 7. My throat still feels about the same which is pre-sore. And I feel blah which is probably due to expired drugs.

I have a ticket tonight to Home Free who are an acapella group who's music I like. It's open seating so it's a go and stand in line but it's not sold out. I'm on the teeter totter about going. I'll probably make a snap decision about 6:30ish.

I do think that I will get up and get dressed and walk down to the Silver Cloud hotel next to the baseball stadium and get some breakfast. Down there and back is not quite 20 minutes but close enough. I have tried their breakfasts in the past and been under whelmed but it's been a long time and maybe they have gotten better. And at least I will have gotten out and given my 20 minutes a try.

I've never heard that. My father used to tell me to take zinc, but I think that's since been disproven.

It was back in the days when Coricidin was new and about the old 'cold' drug out there and I'm sure it's a load of crap but... honestly, I feel way better this afternoon. So I will likely keep my subscription to this particularly load of crap :)

I take zinc & extra Vitamin C, which always work for me at the pre-sore throat stage, disproven as they may be.

Home Free are from these parts of the woods. I'm not a fan of country but like some of their stuff.
