Note to self: I encourage the use of cold medication in the night, when troubled by dry hacking/post-nasal drip. I especially encourage the use of cold medication with a sleep aid. However, I do not encourage the use of cold medication with a sleep aid at 3:00 am or later, no matter how desperately you’d like to go back to sleep. Your attempts to wake up a mere three hours later will be ludicrous at best.
Which is why my best, today? Not so much.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZonk. . . .

how did you even manage to wake yourself up to write this post at 3pm?
cold meds plus sleep aid sound like a recipe for a COMA. but then, who is really thinking of the risks at Early O’Clock when one can’t get back to sleep?
Hang in there, little lady!
Oh, good grief, girlfriend! I hope you feel better soon!
