NaBloPoMo!I’ve had A Time keeping up with what day of the week it is lately. Cold medicine will do that to you, I guess. Another thing cold medicine will do: Make you write pretty pathetic NaBloPoMo posts. One thing cold medicine doesn’t seem to do: Get rid of this cold.

NaBloPoMo!Yesterday, I wrenched my back trying to carry a wiggly and non-cooperative 2-year-old up the stairs. Today I’ve been hobbling around like an old, old lady. In looking through the medicine cabinet, I found a bottle of generic Percoset from when Petey was born. It says “discard after 11/08/08,” which the keen-eyed among you might note was just over a year ago. Does that mean it will be the end of me if I take one? I probably won’t take one regardless, but I’m curious.

Also, how do you discard old medicine? I don’t really want to just throw it in the trash (tranquilized beast), but I also don’t want to flush it down the toilet (drugged fish).
