*cough*

(i got to enjoy the most gorgeous night ever last night...i had two kids and two dogs with me and a bunch of time to just wander, listen to the sounds, soak in the smells and watch the American-summer-evening, suburban activities, happening all around me. it was beautiful...)

it amazes me how i can shoot whiskey, vodka and tequila with the best of 'em but i can't take cough syrup without gagging, shivering and getting goose bumps all over my body.

it's the nastiest stuff in the world but, without it, sometimes sleep doesn't happen. maybe i should just stick to the hot toddy's next time, like dad says... (though no coughing attack to keep me up last night...so, i guess that's good?)
