Non-drowsy psuedofed my ASS!
Went to the health center yesterday for this cold that's been persisting for over two weeks. They told me it was a cold and that there was nothing they could do but give me a complimentary ramen and tea gift basket. Also, that i should pick up some nasal decongestant from the pharmacy over the counter. The non-drowsy stuff is the only one you can get without a prescription, and I thought, "something that clears my nose AND doesn't knock me out for two days? I'LL TAKE TWO!".
It turns out that non-drowsy is a subjective term. Instead of putting me out for two days, a single pill only incapacitated me for 12 hours. Not the end of the world, but my work was very considerate of my plight this next morning now that i'm still wonky and my hw is not even started. (i took it at 7 pm, woke up at 8:30 am). I think it may be hereditary. My dad is hyper-reactive to sleeping pills too. On the plus side, I got to have an awesome dream, which was so good, I need to write it down before i forget it.
It started off, at my mom's place. I was working as the #1 hit man/bodyguard for a mafia family, which was hosting a mixer with another crime family from the area. Some things were said, some intentions were misunderstood, and the whole thing turned into a shootout. Our don was there, and so was the rival family's, so a lot was at stake. We occupied that inside of the house, while they were on the outside trying to get in to assasinate our Don. There were a bunch of little scuffles until at last, there were only 3 of us left on each side, just me, the Don, and the Don's wife, holed up in the kitchen.
By this point, the Don was in no shape to do anything. He'd survived several assasination attempts that afternoon while I was busy offing the other guys, and he looked like he was in need of medical attention. Despite this, I still got pulled away from him to go take care of a couple of the bad guys. I rushed back to find the rival Don hung in the front hallway with his bodyguard dead at his side. I walked into the kitchen, to find the Don and his wife walking around, cleaning the blood off their cloths, and i asked "wtf? I thought you were all banged up from before!" And he chuckled and said he'd been faking the whole time to lure the other Don into a false sense of security. Meanwhile, his wife's washing off a knife, she turns to me and says she started the whole thing by manipulating party guests into starting the fight, in order to gain the oposing family's territory.
End dream with shocked look on my face.
Also, Happy valentine's day everyone.
