nyquil- my night time lover



My vacation summary and newly started addiction to nyquil.funny thing to reach for it during packing for the trip. served as a saviour for all those around me who heard my cough each and every night!

Started out Thursday in Ottawa, felt a little funny, started to cough while in TO

Friday 6am flight, head was pounding, cough increased

On the runaway- the plane comes to a halt as the pilot does a brake stand sending all of us into the seats in front of us, back to the gate- repair a “glitched” indicator- that’s what they tell us.

Try again for take off, same thing- brake stand, they unload us, tell us new flight time of 1130am- we gather at 1130- now the flight time has been changed to 11pm! THE CREW HAS MAXED OUT THEIR FLYING TIME..

On the plane for 11pm- opps, one passenger has decided not to fly- need to find their luggage…take off now at 1145pm

Arrive to PVR for 630 am- taxi to the hotel, pool side – got a burn due to falling asleep in the sun, and feeling lousy after coughing the entire trip on the plane


Spend the next six days almost without eating, no taste buds, cough and sinus problems, in fact, have only six beers the entire week, sleep most days 12 hours, food looks great, I have soup for dinner two nights in a row, hacked so hard couldn't’t sleep…..viva la mexico!

Get back to Vancouver- discover a flat tire and the dealer failed to put the locking hub key back in my jeep when they changed my tires…ugghh

Get to the doctor Saturday morning – bronchitis and sinusitis diagnosed , major drugs prescribed, still no taste buds or appetite…

Back at my desk with little energy…now two weeks with this dreaded bug...and feeling so ripped off!
