Big pills, little sleep

This three and a half month long cold turns out to be the mother of all sinus infections, an unintended gift from the kids at rhino-virus middle school.

My doctor put me on a med with interesting side-effects, including:

"taste perversion" which has nothing to do with enjoying John Waters movies and everything to do with finding that every taste I know and love tastes like odd flavors I've never experienced before.

"This Pepsi tastes like Schmepsi".

Also insomnia.  Until this week I confused insomnia with simply a bad night's sleep.

Insomnia is more like:  "Man, if I wasn't totally made out of electricity I just might be able to nod off!"

Otherwise, its great being able to breath through my nose again.

Better living through chemistry.  Hey! who's up for an all-night Scrabble Party?  I'll get the pretzels, you pick out some movies.
