I can talk.....well, type anyway. I lost my voice with this great cold I got from the boys. It was inevitable- I didn't even fight it. I kissed all over them with their slobber and all. It is so my fault. And it was so not a good idea. This cold is awful. No energy, head feels like it will explode, runny nose, stuffy nose, cough that feels like my lungs are bleeding, etc. Yesterday I barely had my voice- today not at all. I whispered to my mom on the phone this afternoon. It didn't work for long and I handed the phone to CQ.
I would like to take a minute to vent about cold medicine. Here in Oklahoma, (not sure about other states) cold medicines have changed their ingredients in order to not contain pseudophedrine. Some are available still behind the pharmacy counter- but you can only get them when the pharmacy is open and from what I hear they take your driver's license information. This is all to stop the making of meth. I guess OK has a rather large problem with meth labs. Pseudophedrine is what makes medicine WORK. It is the drug that unblocks your nose, etc. Long story short, I have tried to find some relief these past couple days. Everything I have tried has done absolutely nothing. No effect at all. I have tried 4 different cold meds. All without the pseudo stuff.
Give me back my cold medicine, Governor Henry! Meth heads are still making meth. It is not going to even slow them down. These new laws only hurt people like me, who just want some relief from a darn cold. Because basically, I will never purchase the stuff behind the counter just as a matter of principle. I REFUSE to give my personal information out in order to buy cold medicine and so the government can keep track of how much I purchase. How much am I allowed, by the way? What happens when I go over the limit? What if I need 5 boxes of Sudafed over a 6 month period???? (I have had 2 colds in 3 months!) Now I am fired up!!!!
I need to feed the boys some sweet potatoes!
