Crawling toward the oasis
October 9th, 2007 at 4:24 pm (Life)
In a moment of temporary insanity, I mowed the grass last week. This despite knowing that I have raging allergies to only two things in this world - cats and grass. The resulting bronchitis has left me with coughing fits that bring my co-workers to the door of my office with concern.
So, to alleviate their distress and provide a quiet work environment for my employees, I am standing the the cold medicine aisle of my local Target, perusing my choices of cough suppressants. In the process of contemplation, I have a coughing fit that literally drives me to my knees.
Picture if you will, a woman outstretched on the linoleum, one hand grasping in futility toward the Hall’s Mentholyptus, barking like a seal.
Yep. It was exactly like that.
Pity me.

And what caused this moment of insanity? I mean I’m not even allergic and I NEVER mow our lawn.

My doctor gave me antibiotics and Tussionex suspension for my bout with bronchitis, which helped a lot. He also suggested as an over the counter one of the Mucinex concoctions — it had initials after it, I *think* Mucinex DM? I didn’t have to try it, but Fianna swears it works well, and she has bronchitis every so often.
Hope you get better soon!
