Yes, I’m 12

My Nose Is Running
...and I’d rather no one caught it for a few days. If I didn’t have to touch another Kleenex (Puffs w/ Lotion!) for a long time, I’d be a very happy girl. This cold is so much different from the last one, uh, last month. This one is all about the nose running and the coughing. No meds seem to help, even though I’m trying everything I can find in our bathroom cabinets. Right now, I’m on Benadryl and cough syrup. Yesterday was Tylenol Cold with some sort minty coating. If I’m not going to suck on a pill, I don’t really need a fancy minty coating. Sure, it was kind of pretty, but ultimately pointless. And the cough syrup - the directions say to take 2 teaspoons. If the maximum dosage is 2 teaspoons, then how come they give you a little cup with markings up to 4 teaspoons? Cough syrup for you and someone you love, to share?
By the way, if you hate the taste of cough syrup like I do and you’re tempted to chase it with a swig of Gatorade…don’t. It makes the Gatorade taste gross. Just suck it up and suffer for the few minutes it takes for the nasty taste to go away, and THEN drink the Gatorade. You’re welcome.
