NyQuil Gone Bad #0328

I had been feeling under the weather for about four days.  I had friends bring me nyquil gel tabs two evenings in a row to help me feel better.  I slept soundly for two straight nights and was thinking I was on the mend.  I tried to pretend I was going to go on a run on a Monday, but I just couldn't do it.  On a Tuesday, a dear friend of mine purchased for "Christmas" a bottle of green NyQuil (I like Green) and I was elated!  Another night of splendid sleep!

I came home from my meeting at church and prepared for bed by taking a dose of nyquil.  Oh, the warm, burning sensation as I feel the liquid go down through my body.  Reminds me of a nice tumbler of Johnnie Walker Black, but any hoo...back to the story.  I sat down in my recliner and put on a movie to wait for the effects to kick in and chatted with some peeps on Facebook and Gchat.  I knew it was working when I couldn't type coherently any more and said my goodbyes...sorta.

I woke up around 11pm to say goodbye to a person I had apparently been saying goodbye to since two hours prior, so I hit the "enter" key.  The next thing I remember I am roused awake by a loud "THUNK!!!"  as I watched in slow motion my laptop finish it's fall with a second "thunk" onto the ground at my feet.

"HOLY COW!" I shriek!  "MY LAPTOP!!!!"  I quickly pick up "my baby" and make sure he's still in good working order and notice I am still "talking" to someone on Gchat, still logged in to Facebook, and apparently I was in the middle of typing something in excel (though I am not sure why I had excel open in the first place).  The movie I was watching was happily looping the song on the start menu, and that is when I finally look at the time.  It's 2 a.m. I'm still in my clothes, so I feel like Marty McFly, and I am still groggy from the effects of the NyQuil.  I debate climbing into bed or just sleeping the rest of the night in the recliner.  This is a real pickle for me, because, in case you don't know, I have a loft bed and I really do have to climb into bed.  I quickly assess how "drunk" I still am from the NyQuil and finally decide to climb into bed under my nice and warm blankets, but not before I give a little "Sana sana colita de rana si no sanas hoy sanaras mañana" to my baby....errrr....my laptop.

Of course, this didn't happen to me.  This is just what I heard. =)
