UNDER THE WEATHER pt. 2

Day 2.

Took some Tylenol last night & went to bed at 11:30pm. Was supposed sleep earlier but got caught up watching Heroes. Me & Actor rented the 1st dvd, literally the 1st 2 episodes. I'm officially hooked! We got lots of catching up to do, cuz damn that show is good!

Anyhoos, took the nighttime Tylenol & fell out a few minutes later. It was supposed to knock me out but I woke up & looked around at 3:30am. Went back to sleep for the rest of the night. Think that has got to be the best sleep I've gotten in a long time. I'm an unofficial recovering insomniac (a person who can't fall or stay asleep.) I used to stay up till wee hours of the night/morning, i.e: 6, 7, 8, 10 in the morning was when I finally wore myself out & fell asleep. But since I got my new job & had to get up at 6 cuz I had to be at work by 7am, I've been sleeping earlier. It took me a while to get adjusted too: the 1st month or so I still went to bed like at 3 or 4am, then it eventually turned into 1 or 2, and now, 8 months later, I try to make it in bed by 11pm, 12 at the latest.

Guest old habits die hard cuz I usually wake up at least once or twice every night. Seems like my body refuses to sleep through the whole night for some reason. I either gotta get up to use the bathroom or I'm extra thirsty & have to get some water. Sometimes I even keep a bottle of water by my bed so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night.

So here I am, best sleep I've gotten in a while and it's because of some medicine. I hate taking medicine by the way. I believe in natural healing; I usually just wait it out & let my body heal itself. But since having roommates & living with Actor for the past couple of years, every time I get sick they tackle me down & make me take medicine. I give in sometimes if I feel really crappy.

The Tylenol worked pretty well: my sore throat is almost gone & the only thing that's still bothering me is the runny nose. The sneezing & coughing went down too. Pretty good medicine they have there. I took Tylenol Allergy Multi-Symptom for those who want to know. I should've taken the Cold Multi-Symptom but already had the allergy one & didn't feel like running to the store.

It's safe to say that I'm having a better day than yesterday. How was yours?
