Adventures with NyQuil, DayQuil, etc.

Being sick sucks. I should always listen to mom, especially when it comes to weird explanations about "fire" and "inflammatory" foods that are bad for you (very similar to the concept of doshas in Ayurvedic medicine)--such as lychees. So I know that lychees are full of "fire" and yet, I decided to gorge on them last Thursday. The result: an instant sore throat that night, which morphed into a full-on cold/flu/sinus thing, which I've had the fortune of dealing with for the past four days. I slept about 30 hours on the weekend (that's about 15 hours per night, for those who are doing the math), and then ended up trying NyQuil for the first time last night since it was a work night and I really needed my rest. The result? I've decided that NyQuil has GOT to be re-marketed as the poor man's Ambien. (Please ignore that last sentence...I'm currently under the influence of DayQuil and can't be taken seriously.) All jokes aside, being sick sucks.

That said, I'll see you in NYC this weekend :-)
