mmm, pseudoephedrine...

You know it's bad when you're regarded as a "regular" at the local pharmacy...

Been sick over the last week. Hate it. Didn't really get much sleep over the last weekend, which then carried on into the working week. First came a headache and runny nose early in the week. Went to the pharmacy and picked up some sinus meds.

"Hi, we haven't seen you for a while, is your leg better now?"

And this...

"Usually we'd need to see your licence for these, but we know you well enough."

Wait. You do? Apparently so, enough that they don't need to check my credit card signature either.

Anyway they didn't really do much, and I found myself struggling even more. Thursday I didn't even go into work, just spent the day in bed. I slept a good 17 hours, though it was interrupted, waking up every hour or two. It was a cold day but I found myself sweating quite a bit too. Must be because I'm so hot (sorry, had to slip that one in...).

Friday morning saw me back at work, and I went back to the pharmacy and bought some actual cold and flu stuff (stupid night tablets don't work like they used to), as well as some strepsils (apparently these ones also have an anaesthetic to numb the throat). By the afternoon, the boss' wife sent me home because I looked like I was going to pass out. Anyway since then I've pretty much done nothing but sit at home. Which is frustrating. But at least the Olympics was on, so I could watch Channel 7 make a complete mess of their coverage...
