Oh god help.

I have a terrible cold, right? And whatever they are trying to pass off as nyquil is complete horseshit. But now they don't make the old school nyquil anymore.

What can I get behind the methlab blockade at the pharmacy when it opens?

I have a bad cough, stuffy nose, slight fever, sore throat, and now I'm achy through the neck and shoulders from coughing. Bonus points if said medication knocks me out for 12 hours, just like old school NyQuil.

I personally would take one Advil Cold & Sinus capsule (from behind the counter), and one Advil PM capsule. That would get you pretty close to Nyquil, except with ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen.

I believe that's the same woman who wrote about the nerd speed dating thing Scola (I think?) was at.

You are correct.

She is a blithering idiot.

You are still correct.

Possibly you would get closer to the Nyquil effect if you washed it down with some alcohol, as well. At least I think that is the part that made me sleepy.

That was definitely part of it.

And at least that Marie Claire thing is just a blog, not a published-on-paper article. I mean, about the editing, not the sentiments.

I woke up early again. Please do not let today be a repeat of yesterday.

I tend to think that blogs that want to be taken seriously, especially if they're linked with/part of a publication, like this one, ought to be edited and held to the same editorial standards as the rest of the publication.

Of course, I don't read Marie Claire (print or online), so maybe that IS indicative of their editorial standards.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Er, I mean, unfortunately, the only rule about blogging for a print publication is volume volume volume. Most magazines don't even have full-time fact checkers or copy editors for their print editions anymore, and the thing that brings in money from the blogs is page hits, so as long as you post a LOT, who gives a fuck if it's spell-checked?

Quality writing? Wha?

(What, me, bitter about DH's industry unceremoniously flushing itself down the toilet over the past ten years? Nah...)

Old Skool Nyquil still exists behind the counter.

MY pharmacy never has it, but supposably there is such a thing.

I had the best morning y'all! Got up at 5 something and rode bikes to a diner in the hood. They weren't open but let me and hubs in because they knew us from when we used to go. Rode back home and snuggled with Jon for an hour. Now I'm on the bus and will make it to work early!

OMG, I need to dry out. After walking through the muggy/rainy in too many clothes (jacket for meeting + light coat), I swear to god the shuttle driver had the heat on, although he denied it. Finally some air came on half-way through the trip, which of course made me start sneezing because I was dripping with sweat at that point. @@
