Zicam

So abe had a cold. a cold that may have been the flu or may have been anything viral. his germs were everywhere, on everything i'm sure since he had stayed home in wallow in his own germination for a few days. i did all i could to steer clear of his air. however, it didn't seem to work and today i'm starting to feel the first signs of a potential cold: headache, scratchy dry throat, slight coughing. i decided to try and ward it off with Zicam only because i don't really have any other choice: either fight it, or let it take it's natural course. i'm going to fight it obviously. so these particular ones we have are "rapidmelts" and are cherry flavored. i took one this morning after i ate breakfast and jumped in the shower because you can't eat or drink anything for 15 minutes after you dissolve the tablet. first off this is not cherry flavored. it is dirty flavored with a hint of metal that was scraped along a bar floor after a frat party. so i was like: atleast i took it before i got into the shower, so by the time i get out, and get dressed it will be 15 minutes down the road. that was smart. i was just dying to open my mouth in the shower and let the water wash away the dirt in my mouth. also, it takes about 5 minutes to even come close to dissolving. i distinctly remember abe telling me how horrible they tasted, and i was just kinda like yeah whatever. but he was right, they're terrible. so 3 hours later (they say to take ever 3 hours for 48 hours), i really had to think about whether or not i should take another one and inflict that kind of self-hatred again. but i was thinking that again, what other choice do i have? so i took it at my desk and now i had no other real distractions besides this blog to take my mind off really wanted to chug some water.
