Helium head June 6, 2007 ~ 10:56 am
Posted by Julie in : About a Julz, Academic Office Monkey , trackbackI’m on Mucinex and Cefr…Cefr..oh, I don’t know what the hell it is, just that it’s an antibiotic, it’s blue, it tastes like crap, and it’s the size of my apartment. The combination seems to be routing my sinus infection, though, which is great. I was really tired of the smell of mildew in my nose. And the collection of boogers that I’ve acquired in my left nostril. And blowing chunks of crap out my nose every morning. All of that has ceased, mostly. I’m definitely on the mend.
Except that this little drug combo I’ve got going on has left me feeling like my head is packed full of cotton. I don’t mind it, really. It’s made my work days much more relaxed as frankly I don’t give a crap what my co-workers are up to. I can even tune out their squabbling with little effort. And time seems to stretch out like you wouldn’t believe. Last evening was the longest evening ever - I made dinner, watched an episode of Hex, two episodes of Little People, Big World, talked to my mom, Rick, and Jordana on the phone, played around on the computer, and had a glass of wine, and was still in bed by 11:30. I have either been mismanaging my time my entire life (quite possible) or I entered a time warp last night. Either way, it was awesome.
I know, some people hate the floaty feeling brought on by colds and sinus infections. I kinda like them. It’s like being high, but in a legal and legit sense. While I could get fired for coming to my job stoned by any other substance, hey, prescription drugs are just fine! Woohoo! Bring on the audits!
Uh, yeah. I’ll go now.

Let’s go drinkin’!
do you enjoy the thought of the little mucinex green goo guy being swept out of your sinuses in a tornado of over the counter drug goodness?
Perhaps you just didn’t realize you were going really fast to get all that stuff done. Or it might have been you were less distracted.
Sounds like you need to stay on these antibiotics for a while.
At first I laughed out loud about your time warp, but when I thought about, I thought it would be so tragic if we’re all just mismanaging our time and every day could be like 80 hours long.
Jay~I’m thinking it was really the time warp. Last night went a lot more quickly. Of course, I didn’t get home until 7:30, so maybe it just seemed to move more quickly because I had less time before bed.
Vince~The antibiotics taste bad. But time warps are goood.
ESC~I hadn’t thought about it before. But now that I have, I enjoy that image immensely.
Retro~You’re on. I’m out of town for the weekend, but any night next week is fine.
Oh that feeling is much better then the sleepy feeling the nyquil gives me, well at least the first night, after that its like drinking red bull, just not as tasty.
I hope you feel much better very soon!
