Anyway, not able to convince either manager yesterday that I was going down like the Titanic as my voice fell like five octaves "You feel bad? Well, you look good." ..."Can't you just hang in another 3 hours?" Ugh... I manage to come home only 1/2 early. So when I woke up today sounding like Kathleen Turner x5... I called in sick. After sleeping in, I got up and saw that I took my last Advil Cold and Sinus the night before... and I knew needed to go out into the world for "cold supplies." At the drug store they need to check your driver's license now before buying AC&S (something about ingredients and crystal meth). Unfortunately for the clerk, my license is a little bent from being in my pocket during a concert so you can't run the magnetic strip through. She had to (PAINSTAKINGLY) punch in the numbers and my address which took her FORever... so I thumbed through a magazine, Brad and Angelina had twins...
Clerk: "I'm sorry, but I can't sell you this."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Clerk: "Yeah, it's says I can't sell you this. So it's $4.23 for the cough-drops and tissues."
Me: (now in a state of panic, not unlike a crystal meth addict I imagine) "What?!! WHY!!!!"
Clerk: "That's what it says."
Me:....but.... but....
Clerk: (huge sigh) "Ok, I'll do it again."
'Has a crystal meth addict stolen my license number!?'
I watched her as she SLOWLY looked down for every digit and character (one at a freaking time) and punched them in. I turned around and the line behind me was growing:
'Oh, God - I'm one of those people I hate to be behind in a line!'
She finally punched in the last number...
Clerk: "Ok, that'll be $9.75"
Me: "Oh, thank *cough cough* God!....and , uh, you too"
Back home to nap on the couch the rest of the day with all my supplies at arm's length. The upside: my lap cats were happy to have a third party to lie around with them all day.

Oh just admit it-- you turned that Advil Cold and Sinus into meth as soon as you got home and now you're high as a kite running around Mexico without any clothes on. YOU CAN'T FOOL US, "SICKO."
Oh poor you! Get better soon and spoil those cats
My shop locks up the ingredients for crystal meth so I just switched to heroin.....
Hope you're feeling better by now!! Advil Cold & Sinus is my bff during colds. The stuff is amazing.
Yeah, I hate feeling like a criminal just to buy cold meds. I hope you are feeling better by now.
hahahaha! oh god, that was an amazing story :)
I can't believe you have a cold during the summer! Hope you are feeling better by now!
