NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil, we love you, you giant fucking Q*
Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 7:41PM I still feel like a buzzards butt that fell off and got sprayed on by a bunch of skunks**, so I went to the walk-in clinic this morning to procure my get-out-of-jail-free card.
"I pretty much just need a note that says I can go home and suffer in peace instead of dragging my diseased carcass into work," I told the doctor.
"Doctors don't just write notes," she admonished me. "We can help, too, you know!"
"Um...I'm pretty sure it's just a head cold. Last time I checked, you actually couldn't," I mumbled, but she just tut-tutted and wrote me a prescription for penicillin and a corticosteroid nasal spray. One of which is totally useless for a head cold and the other was forty-three dollars and also, totally useless.
"Great, thanks!" I said brightly, pocketing it. "Can I have my note now?"
So now I'm at home suffering in peace, like I asked in the first place. Anybody need a prescription for penicillin?
*Name that tune.
**Clearly I have not an original thought in my head today, mostly because it's filled with phlegm. Name that tune 2.

Oooh, so everything I heard about being able to get drugs from Canada is true. Sure, send me your meds...
But not the nasal spray.
Oh the sweet release of the Nyquil kicking in. Two words for you: Neti Pot. It changes my life, not so much for the better, but at least I can breathe a little easier.
Penicillin? Did you ask to see her credentials?
Denis Leary!
And feel better!
Denis Leary -- FTW!
"It only comes in one flavor. Green fucking death!"
LOL I thought I was the only one who sang the Nyquil song!
Nope...I sing the Nyquil song too!! Hehehehehhe! No thanks! You can keep those prescriptions. I have two of my own that I never filled! Awww the thrills of modern medicine.

PS Feel better soon!!
43 dollars? Unbelievable. I reckon a bottle of wine and some chocolate would have been a better use of the money!
Okay so I had to look up the NyQuil song on YouTube. It made my morning so much better! A good laugh will usually do that. :D
Feel better soon.
I am still marveling at the crazed creative beauty of the first sentence of this post!
Feel better, and easy on the Nyqil...
Mmm, Nyquil. Do you think it's ok to mix it with Neo-Citron?
Ok how is it we have the same cold? I feel like I"m wearing a helmet because everything sounds fluffy!
Feel better soon!
Hope your head is mucus free in no time! Yay, for Nyquil!
Dude, fill the prescription and stockpile the antibiotics. You'll need them when the zombies come.
Lol I hate doctors offices they totally suck ass!
I'll pass on the penicillin, last time I checked it gave me a nasty case of anaphylactic shock.
feel better soon.
Glad you didn't have to wait for test results before starting the penicillin. Get better now!!
Feel better soon, my dear!
Hope you feel better soon!
Dennis Leary No cure for Cancer was the name of the comedy act that the Nyquil song came from... I love it!
ps. I just posted a link to your blog on my last post over at shoelessmommy
She gave you penicillin for a head cold? Good God. How about just a nice dose of shutting the hell up and writing that note faster?
Feel better soon I am loving your blog. I am your newest follower since Sami gave us the same award. I hope you will come by and follow back!
At least you were finally able to stay home in peace(s)!!

I'm high as a kite and my teeth are green Merry Fucking Christmas. If I didn't already have a Love Of My Life who sings the Nyquil song whenever she has to take some I'd probably be totally in love with you. BTW do you know of the man from whom Leary stole a goodly amount of his material? (Not the Nyquil song thankfully) If you don't know about Bill Hicks, give him a google, you'll be glad you did.
