Story time
I have allergies. Not so bad that I need prescription medication, but severe enough that I do need OTC medicines in ready supply at certain times of the year, this being one of them. As I was running low, I visited Target (Tar-zhay) yesterday afternoon to pick up some more. Tylenol now makes a day/night combo pack which I thought was pretty nifty, so I bought it thinking I'd try it out. And as I had the itchy, runny, sneezy nosey thing going last night, I thought I'd take some of the "night" formula in my usual dosage of 2 caplets - which knocked me the hell out, dawg. (boathouse joke)

It, in fact, knocked me so far the hell out that I almost couldn't wake up this morning....which turned out to be kinda terrifying. My mind was more or less awake, but I couldn't get my body to respond. Even during the worst of my depressions back in the day I could still at least throw myself out of bed, but with these tiny pills I had to wait for the medicine to start wearing off before I could even get out of bed all the while slipping in and out of consciousness. I don't like being that helpless. However, I have learned a valuable lesson: my "usual dosage" is a little too strong for the little white pills of sleeping death.

On a completely different topic, animal adaptation is getting weirder all the time. Domesticated cows and feral cats are one thing, these birds are a whole 'nother pot of chili. Okay, here's how it goes: So because this university pays me crap and doesn't give employees any sort of discount on parking, the only type of parking pass I could afford puts me in lot 59, which is slightly beyond the ass-end of the universe. Yes, it may be a good excuse for exercise, but it takes for-freaking-ever to get to my office in the mornings. And on my way into my office in the mornings, I have to pass by this desert landscapey thing with some fetid pool of water in the middle. The fetid pool of water, however, is not the focus of our story; the birds that are attracted to the area by the insects that breed in said fetid pool of water are. Unfortunately, because it is late, I'm going to have to finish this story tomorrow.

And even further from serious topics, because I am a memesheep I shall now post
Tada!
