Some days are nothing days, and today is a nothing day.
I just feel out of sorts.
I’m not taking cold medicine tonight.
I think I’ve been taking it daily for two weeks now.
I don’t think you’re supposed to do that.
The Mucinex has helped, oddly enough-though I keep waking up at 3 a.m. coughing.
That’s an improvement.
I’m not coughing steadily for twenty minutes.
I just don’t think I should be guzzling cold medicine nightly.
I seem to be stuck in molasses today.
Just out of it.
For the first time ever, I went to take my morning medicine.
I have them separated in two spots on my dresser to avoid mistakes.
I had the pill in my mouth, and it started to melt.
Whoa.
Thyroid pills don’t melt.
I spit quickly.
The pill was square.
Thyroid is round.
I must’ve grabbed a hive pill without thinking.
Missing my morning thyroid pill isn’t ideal, but taking two hive pills wouldn’t have been a big deal.
They just make me sleepy and dizzy.
If I’m having an outbreak, I’m supposed to take two hive pills, one in the morning and one at night.
I just do not remember reaching up to get that bottle.
You reach up for hive, down for thyroid.
Raven came in at some point.
I was sitting in my room, watching TV and folding laundry.
The house was getting smoky, but the fire alarms hadn’t gone off yet.
It took me until I started smelling burning grease to realize I might have a real big problem.
I ran to the kitchen.
Raven had turned the tea kettle on and went back to bed.
It had boiled dry and was smoking like crazy.
Not sure why I smelled grease, though.
It was: huh. OK. House is a bit smoky, but let me keep folding these towels.
It’s entirely possible I got enough hive medicine in my system to make me a bit dopey.
Two doses of that thing make me dopey and dizzy.
Cowboy and Badger came back from therapy with dinner from Taco Bell.
Badger also brought me a strawberry drink.
Very much appreciated.
It was early enough that after we’d eaten, we all curled up for a nap.
Napping didn’t help me much, though.
Cowboy got to work and the day ground to a close.
We did nothing.
I don’t think Badger budged from her room.
She’s especially distant on therapy days.
