Random Ramblings on Cold Meds

I have a cold. It's my own fault, so I'm not whining about it...yet.

I'm taking Tylenol Cold for it and hoping for the best. I used to only take Nyquil until I learned that brand doesn't have a decongestant anymore. Hello? Cold? Decongestant? See a connection here?

I had lunch today with some members of my group, and the group's director, and Deb. We were celebrating reaching a goal we had set a long time ago, which I had come to see as unreachable. While attempting to nibble at my steak sandwich, which I could only taste because I had taken the Tylenol Cold, I reminded myself of something I used to always say when addressing a seemingly overwhelming problem. "You can eat a whole elephant. Take it one bite at a time." Then I went back to talking about how I missed the Acid-Trip-Gecko artwork that used to be on the walls in this restaurant. Maybe I'll cut out a bunch of elephants with bites out of them and give them to all my co-workers. Or not.

When I came home from work tonight, I fed the cats and then went to the bathroom. By the time I got out of the bathroom the cats were done eating. The dish wasn't empty; they were just done. I figured out why a half-second later when my bare foot came down on the remains of someone's appetizer. A lizard, about the size of the palm of my hand, but without a tail, lay cold and unmoving on the carpet. I wrapped it in a paper towel and tossed it over the balcony. I'm sure the potty box will be interesting tomorrow.

Alright, Deb. It's your turn.
