Over The Counter

From what I can remember, I've had a grueling week. My battle with a nasty seasonal bug culminated last night when I passed-out some time around 10pm. 13 hours later, I woke up with all my clothes on, but feeling great for the first time in 8 days. It seems as though my body has conquered whatever germs had been occupying it this past week.

Now that I am somewhat sober, I want to warn you about over the counter drugs. Consistent use of nasal decongestants and antihistamines can severely impair you, diminishing alertness and general functionality. If you find yourself sick, your main defense should be water and plenty of rest. Don't use these drugs as crutch like I did, you might end up passed-out in a compromising position.
