Entry FeedI woke at 3:30 am with a terrible headache. It felt like a really bad hangover, except that the only alcohol I've had in the past month was a glass of wine a week ago.
In the bathroom, all I could find was Children's Tylenol. Squinting in the half-light, I tried to read the recommended dosage. Multiplying my weight, trying to divide into kilograms, I came up with twelve. That can't be right, I thought.
Usually I take two extra strength tablets, which are 500 something each. The kids ones are 80, so dividing 1000 by 80 I came up with 12.5.
Not bad math for the middle of the night, eh sis? I even checked my answer before overdosing myself. I opened the bottle and there were only two left. Damn. Now I would have to go downstairs to try to find adult tylenol.
But I was too tired, and lazy. And my head really hurt. Instead I went back to bed, only to wake up this morning with the same headache. Now, four extra strength tylenols later, I am on the road to recovering.
Before kids, I never got headaches. Not even hangovers. Now, I miss an hour of two or sleep and I am thrown off for days.
Oh man! I think I must be getting older. Sucks, doesn't it?
