Sick as a dog and still golden

So this was probably the most amazing three day weekend I ever had. Sure, I was sick on Friday -- I had one of those virus type head colds -- but with the proper medicine in my system, I was good as gold. The following is my over the counter recipe for dealing with head colds:

Morning:

• Mucinex 12 hour pills -- take one in the morning with 2 glasses of water (I guess the medicine does not work without lots of water in your system.)
  
• Day Quill -- Two in the morning, and two every 4 hours after that


• Claritin D -- after providing a photo ID to obtain the controlled substance, take one in the morning and it will keep you congested free for 24 hours


• Advil -- Take as needed for sore throat


• EmergenC -- 1 packet every 2 hours throughout the day.
  

Bed time:

• Tylenol PM -- 2 glorious pills before going to bed


• NyQuil -- Two of these before going to bed as well


• Benadryl -- Oh what the hell, 2 of these can't hurt before going to bed...
  

Sure, when I told my boss what I was taking before going to bed she mentioned that I might be uncomfortably close to pulling a Heath Ledger. But you know what? It was 65 - 70 degrees this weekend and I was sure as hell not staying inside. The worst part is that for the first time in my life I had to pay for all these medicines out of my own pocket! Oh well, beats being sick in the East Coast ice storm.
