light dawns...
i drove in to work yesterday on auto-pilot after another four hour night. decided to make the best of it by visiting our health care center.
five minutes with the doc resulted in my chest being pronounced "pretty clear" and two scrips: narcotic cough syrup, and a z-pack, just in case things didn't clear up in a couple of days, in which case i may have strayed out of viral territory and into bacterial (bronchitis, walking pneumonia, fun stuff like that).
i'm going to take this opportunity to note that i really need to find a new pharmacy. my experience yesteday was reminiscent of a driver's license office, complete with grumpy, inarticulate personnel, being sent from line to line, and small children with runny noses wiping their hands on my pants. oh, and the lady with penumonia who kept standing in my personal space, making groaning sounds as she labored to breathe. i mean, poor lady, but back off, eh?
so after all that, when it came time for bed, i decided to try it without the chemical assistance, first. natural sleep is better than drugged, right? and i hadn't had any drugs all day.
and it worked. i slept for something like eight hours and woke up this morning feeling close to normal. which means that shortly, i'll be headed to virginia. yay!
