the vick's perspective

last night i added cough syrup & vick's vapo-rub to the mix of the medicine cabinet that has become my body... and everything you're about to read is 100% true (well, so is everything else on my blog, but this story cracks me up looking back!)

so, i'm in the bathroom, rubbing down my chest with a fresh jar of vick's... and i didn't think i put enough on, it seemed to soak in & i couldn't smell it or feel its effects...

...so i slathered on some more...

nothing.

lee walks in the bathroom after taking nershi out for the last time and i say "honey, can you smell this? i think i got a bad batch of this stuff..."

he so lovingly responds "good lord, hannah... that stuff is strong... you shouldn't put anymore of that on!"

i proceed to contort my neck to try to smell what i've just slathered all over my chest... and smell the hand i'd used to put it on

nothing.

however, i catch nershi out of the corner of my eye-- making a run for it, "snuffing" out his nose (kinda fake sneezing) and rubbing his face on the carpet, and then wiping his nose with his paws...

oh well... congestion at its best... its so bad, vick's doesn't work.

needless to say, i slept ALONE in the bed last night... it was too much for lee AND the dog.

it was definitely one of those times i wish i had a hidden camera or something... it could've been on a sit-com...

...and i just got a call from lee at work... he's come down with it full fledged... bummer.
