                          Me on cold medication, II

In the directory where I keep draft versions of entries, I found one labled
cold.medication dated July 7^th which contained the following:

> I've been coming down with a cold so I ended up going to bed early last
> night. At about 3:30 am I found myself unable to sleep so I took some cold
> medication that's a cheap knockoff of Ny-Quill in a pill formulation, and
> then drifted off to sleep.
>
> At 6:30 I found myself wide awake in a red convertible doing about 130 out
> of Barstow conversing with Hunter S. Thompson about the finer points of
> wumpus hunting as a swarm of bats trailed behind us.
>
> Yes, when it comes to drugs I am such a lightweight that what some people

> I can experience with cheap OTC (Over the Counter) stuff meant to fight off

> And hating every moment of it.

> There is no way I'm making it in to work today.

Funny, I thought. I don't recall writing that. But I must have, since it was
written when I was sick. And I am a lightweight when it comes to OTC
medication.

Then I noticed that the file was dated June 7^th, not July 7^th. Which was
odd, since I wasn't sick on June 7^th [1]. It was then I noticed that it was
June 7^th 2005 and it all made sense. Yes, I was sick then [2] so that's when
I must have written it.
