Being Sick or Being Cold - Take Your Pick
The only thing worse than being sick? That’d be being sick when it’s 12 degrees below zero outside. Talk about your salt in the wound...
Regardless, I’m pumped full of Advil® and DayQuil® this morning, plus a sizable dose of Diet Pepsi®. If the high levels of ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and caffeine don’t do the trick, then I’ll probably go buy a Remington®, some Jack Daniels®, and a pack of Marlboros®, and take these nasty germs out one by one.
Okay, I’m actually not that sick, and I’m really not about to go on a drunken shooting rampage against microscopic viruses. I just felt like adding lots of registered trademarks today. It’s apparently a side effect of too much cold medicine on an empty stomach that I was never aware of.
I don’t have time to be sick, but who does? I’ve got accounting class tonight, a midterm this weekend, a zillion Christmas cards to address, a Christmas tree to buy (yes, the Gressel family is the last one on the block to not have their up), shopping to finish, plus I need some time to slip into hibernation until it warms up to at least 20 above. So the germs floating around in my poor stuffy head will just have to wait. I have a week off at Christmas; they can come out and play between Dec 26 – 30. Pencil it in.
That being said, I hope all of you are healthy and warm. Drink your juice like good boys and girls, and promise me you won’t mix the cold tabs with additional Advil®. You’ll pay the price in the end™.
