Yesterday morning I woke up with my allergies just raising all kinds of hob. I could not stop chasing my nose all around. It was running so bad. So before breakfast I took some generic Dayquil. Then I had breakfast and took my wife to work. I was miserable at McDonald's during my coffee hour with the guys. I came home and used some 12 Hour Afrin. I expected that to finish the work I hoped the Dayquil was doing. It didn't, so around noon I took some more Dayquil.
That seemed to be ineffective as well. I waited a couple of hours and then found some 12 Hour Benedryl. Generic of course. I took that as well. I then picked Lori up from work, still using Kleenex by the carload. We went to Mexican Restaurant for supper, and I was still pretty unhappy. I decided that I should buy some more Dayquil and take another shot. Which I did.
Finally, my nose started to stop running! Success! About darn time! We continued to the Grange to play music.
Soon it was our turn to perform. Lori chose That Was the Last Thing on My Mind . She kicked it off, and I started to sing. Absolutely Nothing went right! My fingers didn't make the right chords...I sounded like I was singing inside a barrel, and then the words all fell out of my mind! I forgot what I had just sung! OMG...disaster.
The band played on, until I just said Stop, we can't do this song! They did and I did...I sort of saved the day, by doing Paradise. I got through that one OK...but I have done it a thousand times. I explained what had happened, and the audience loved it! Lots of laughter! Evidently that was just too much cold medicine in 10 hours! But at least I could breathe!
I took Nyquil before I went to bed...are you surprised to learn that I fell to sleep immediately? I did make it into bed first. This morning it is as if I never had any trouble yesterday. Almost. Last night in my dreams I was floating down a river in Africa on a log, nearly naked, in cave man days, opening up a market for selling milk in plastic jugs. It was Warm in my dream, though.
