Let's wrap it up

Well, I'm on final approach for our trip to Chicago on Saturday -- I've gotten all the shopping done for Dallas as of lunch today, I'll be dropping off presents today and tomorrow, the laundry is in the process of being done, I have all the files I need on my laptop so that I can work on user guides while I'm in Chicago, all the current bills are paid, and I have my car back. All in all, I'm a happy camper.

Or I would be if I didn't feel so damn dreadful. I actually bought NyQuil in the hopes that it would knock me out and let me get a good night's sleep. I hate these frigging little colds that bounce between your head and your chest for a while before settling in -- it's hard to fight the little bastard when it won't stay in one place. Lyndon told me to just forget about the packing since we're not leaving until 4:00 PM tomorrow afternoon, knock back some NyQuil and just go to bed.

Man, that sounds appealing. One moment. . .

*pause to swig some NyQuil*

*screams loudly*

*wipes the blood from my ears*

*peers at the label with intense interest*

HooEEE! What do they put in this shit? I think I just peeled off a layer of enamel on my teeth -- phoo! Well, if something this powerful doesn't put me out, I don't know what will (and it's got a cough suppressant, so I won't be hacking all night and keeping the Bodacious Brit up).

Oboy. And it works FAST, too. Fastfastfast. . .I'm tired, now, and the room is going all funny, and I don't think I can feel my nose anymore, which is good because it didn't feel all that good with this cold and everything, and I think I should just end this here and upload it while I'm still vertical, okay big lady I love you buh-BYE!
