Double dose of Tylenol Cold. Bag of Halls Menthol Liptus cough drops in my purse. Once the popcorn is gone, pop two cough drops at a time until they're gone, then do it again until the movie's over.
We waited a year for it to come out - we saw the previews after last year's 4th of July shuttle launch. I can't even remember what movie we watched; I just remember we made the date right then. When it comes out, we'll go watch it together.
I left work early today because of my cold and my lack of sleep (because of my cold). Deb and I had many brief conversations about my guilt over leaving early combined with my determination to get to the theatre with Yaw to see this movie TONIGHT. The conversations mostly consisted of Deb saying "Just go." My folks raised me to think that if you didn't finish your day's work, you had no business going out to play at night. I think I can deal with the guilt.
I went home. I slept - upright because when I tried laying down, the cough was just too annoying and persistent. I got up around 4:00 and moved to the couch to sleep another 30 minutes or so, then I looked up the times online and sent Yaw a text. I was going, darn it all. We finally agreed on the 7:15 showing and I told him to call me when he was leaving work.
Six o'clock came. He called. We went. We saw. The movie kicked Transformer Booty! It rocked and rolled. I want the soundtrack. Yaw wants the movie. And all the action figures. And he wants his car to be a Transformer. (It would be a really cute one, I'm sure.)
Now I'm supposed to get a good night's sleep. Guess I'll be hitting the Tylenol Cold Night Time. Branden loaned me his jar of Vick's ointment, which is also helpful. Doesn't smell all that great but it really does soothe a cranky chest and nose. Tomorrow I may or may not be up for fireworks. But I will definitely put my little grill to work on some hot dogs and boneless country ribs. MMM Yum.
