This morning I woke up with a need to cough and when I did, my throat felt as though I had swallowed razor blades. So I took some Tylenol and then stopped and got some cough syrup and immediately took it when I got to work.
I don't like to use the little dosage cups they give you. They become sticky and gross and I don't have a sink near me to rinse it out and really, they just harbor germs, so I drink it straight from the bottle. Usually just a swig, but this morning my throat hurt so bad that I took two.
Long story short, I took too much cough medicine and got fucked up.
It was weird. It wasn't like being drunk (because it is alcohol free), it is kind of like smoking pot, but not really. I would move my head and it felt like my head was following me. Everything was fuzzy. I thought sitting still and using my fingers to prop my eyes open wider would help, but it didn't, didn't really at all. I just kept thinking, "What the fuck am I going to do if someone calls me?"
But I got work done, it just felt weird to do it. Like for every word I typed or placed on a document, I would have to take four minutes to freak out. It was weird.
And after about two hours, I started feeling better. Everything became clearer.
It's been a long time since I've been at work high as a kite.
But at least the cough and sore throat are gone.
