Lost Sunday, hello
Jun. 26th, 2005 08:03 pmSo, last night, instead of going out on the town, I took a dose of my new $45 cough syrup. I took it around 11:00 p.m. and went to bed soon after that. I woke up this morning, with effort, at around 11 a.m. At 1 p.m., I felt the overwhelming need to go to sleep again, and did so. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fillyjonk woke me up with a phone call at 3 p.m., at which point I was able to get up again. After we hung up, I puttered around a little, then went back to sleep, around 4:30. I woke up again just now (8 p.m.).
It turns out that one of the two main ingredients in this cough syrup is hydrocodone, which is basically an opiate narcotic. "As with all narcotics (the cough syrup) may produce marked drowsiness and impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery..."
Hello, nurse! Yeah, I noticed that bit about the drowsiness and the impaired mental abilities! :) Well, the good news is, I hadn't coughed once all day, until just about a minute ago. The bad news is, obviously, I can't take this stuff and go to work.
In other news, Friday night, I had a celebrity sighting: Barbara Streisand & James Brolin, who had been attending a movie at my friend's theatre. The funny thing is, that I had asked, "Hey, any celebrities here tonight?" just as Baaabra and James had walked past. I probably never would have noticed them on my own.
