The top 10 realizations I've had since Thursday:
10. My dog will stay by my side no matter what.
9. I'm not as opposed to throwing a coat over my pajamas and going to a convenience store at 4 a.m. for Nyquil as I thought.*
8. Sorting buttons by color is sometimes just too hard.
7. Nobody really cares about the details of being sick. Even my mom didn't want to talk to me. ("You sound awful! Call me when you feel better!" Click.)
6 - 1. They only want you to feel better, and I am. Sadly, I have nothing to show for my weekend adventures because there were none. This means only that I will need to have twice as many this week.
* As to the 4 a.m. trip to the convenience store? I really wanted Nyquil. I really thought about going out to get it. I'm sure I wouldn't be the first person to show up looking terrible in search of medicine. But I just couldn't do it. My sense of propriety won out. This probably does not come as much of a surprise to you, but it did to me.
I hope you are on your way to pick up some meds now that it is daylight. I'm glad you have a furry companion to help nurse you back to health.

You know what works just like Nyquil? Pear vodka and cranberry. You might want to think about it.

Okay, I'm a phone call away from the liquor store!

I hope you feel better soon! Your dog seems like the perfect companion on a sick day, I fear my children aren't as loyal.

Ha. Tis the season for the Nyquil. I like the capsules. I'm terrible about swallowing medicine. We were out when I was sick 2 weeks ago. I trolled every nook and cranny medicine could possibly be in our house. And I found some in my daughter's room. It got me by. I was in your predicament. So when I went to Costco after that I picked up a gross. Nyquil is a must to have around. get better.

I have never thought about going to purchase Nyquil at 4 a.m. in my pajamas. I have gone out in my p.j.s to sign up for an estate sale in the early a.m. hours. I think my sense of propriety is warped. Feel better!

Ahhh, Nyquil. I limit myself to no more than 3 days. It is magic though for getting to sleep.... I have lowered my standards over the years and will now go as far as the curb in my PJs. Poor neighbors!

Here's the secret: For years, I've slept in clothes (yoga pants and a sweatshirt). No one bats an eye.... Nyquil, ice cream, wine. Whatevs.

Can I take your dog for a walk? Please!

It's the pits being sick! I'm a former alcoholic, set free by the Lord over 11 years ago, but when I'm sick that's the one time I wish I could have a few stiff Jack D. & soda's! That Zicam nighttime cold stuff is really good, but I'm not sure they make it anymore. It was a clear liquid and didn't taste bad, and really helped me sleep. Hope you're much better by now.
