Remember When?

Remember when you could just twist off the cap of a bottle of Tylenol? Before they were triple sealed in plastic, combination lock cap then that silver foil seal you need a knife to pierce. Gives you a headache just trying to get a pill doesn't it? I just had a fight with two Comtrex. That is my drug of choice for the moment with my allergies in full bloom. I feel miserable. Came home from work early but I stopped at the store to purchase some juice and Comtrex (because they have an AM and PM in the same package). As my tea water started I took out the packet of pills. All individually packed in hermetically sealed little bubbles. Need to take two - so why don't they put TWO in one of the bubbles ? Never mind. Just peel off the back. WRONG. Why do they do that? You need an Engineering degree to open this crap. I ended up taking a knife and stabbing the damn package to get my pills out. Don't they realize sick people don't have the patience to fight with packaging like this?

OH - I REALLY miss the days when you could just pop open a lid and get your meds. Before the crazy people with nothing better to do decided they wanted to poison everyone for shits and giggles. It was easier back then. People trusted each other. There is no trust anymore - everyone is cynical - suspicious.

Whatever. Remember when you were younger and mothers and fathers had children one at a time? Rarely did you hear about the multiples we do nowadays because of all the options to conceive we have. Maybe it's because I'm not feeling well and haven't slept soundly in two nights but I'm really pissed about this Mother of Octuplets. I certainly don't think that the State of California should be footing the bill for these kids and part of me is thinking that DCS should take them from her and put them with people who can give them a better life. Does anyone really believe she did this without having an ulterior motive? Book? Movie? Another TV show? Are any of you going to line up to get on her website to send money and gifts? What's to stop the next person from doing the same thing? If I wasn't sick it would make me sick. Boo Hoo for her.

Oh well - it really was a beautiful day - certainly not a February day. More like an April day. The nice part about having to work was that we had the windows and doors open - let a nice fresh air run thru the place. Maybe it will blow out the germs that has everyone sick - clear the air.

Time to get ready for Lost. That should put the icing on the cake for the day. It my brain wasn't addled from feeling sick all day - Lost will definitely put me deeper into the fog. I should sleep well then.
