Self Medicated

After a subtle, creeping uneasiness on Sunday, I woke up at 4AM Monday with a temperature and a raw throat. I drank some water and took two aspirin, and listened to Coast-To-Coast AM on the radio. They were talking about all the monsterous hidden things that live underground. I finally fell asleep but today I have a full blown snotty and sneezy cold, even though we're having a heat spell. I took Vitamin C cough drops during the day, but when I got home from work I needed coffee to stay awake. I can't sleep to early, I want to sleep all night, and not wake up at 4AM again. Now I'm drinking wine and took some nighttime cold tablets. I feel strange and sweaty, and my mind is sort of scattered. I hate being sick.
