My allergies have progressively gotten worse over the last week. My throat has been constantly sore, my ears have been ringing, and my coughing has gotten so bad that I haven't slept well the last 3 nights. I decided last night to go to a walk-in Medical place that my daughter uses.
I woke up around 6:00 this morning and, since I couldn't get back to sleep, went online to check out the place and saw that they opened at 7:00. I checked my vitals, fed the cat, got dressed, and headed out. As I sat in my car letting it run, I noticed this guy checking out the garbage area behind my building.
It was a little cool out but it was bright and sunny. The glare was enough for me.
Point, press, Flash.
I got to the walk-in place a little after 7 and was the second person there. I saw a Nurse Practitioner who understood my situation because she was going through the same thing. She called in a prescription for some cough medicine for me and recommended that I get some Vick's Vaporub and add it to some boiling water then breathe in the vapors. This would open up my airways. I was out by 8 and, since my Pharmacy wouldn't open until 9, decided to get some things done.
I took the back way towards Shoprite. The sun was still shining brightly and there was still a glare on my front window. Up ahead, I saw this guy walking towards me.
There was no one else around but I was happy about how things had gone with the Nurse Practitioner and drove on by.
I picked up a few things at Shoprite and cut through a nearby development to get to Wawa's in Avenel. I topped off my tank and headed for the nearby Dunkin' Donuts. I saw this guy out early mowing his lawn.
I know it was after 8 and it's legal but, come on, it's Saturday morning.
Point, press, Flash.
I picked up a large iced tea and a ham breakfast wrap and drove to the Menlo Park Mall. I had the newspaper with me and spent the next hour eating breakfast and working on the crossword puzzles. It was now going on 10 so I headed for my Pharmacy, which is in the Woodbridge Walmart.
I took Parsonage to Route 1 then turned up Ford's Avenue. This turns back on itself and, just after crossing Route 9, ends up at Walmart. I've mentioned before that one of my pet peeves is that truckers take up way too many spaces. Today, I came across this.
Point, press, Flash.
As I drove away, I wondered if that burst would affect the minivan they were towing.
I headed for the Subway's on St. George and picked up a tuna sub. I drove home along Freeman. That's where I saw this guy.
It was starting to cloud over and I just wanted to get home. I drove on.
Before I ate lunch, I checked out the cough medicine.
It's not a liquid. It's a bunch of small, round jell-like balls. I'm supposed to take one 3 times a day for ten days.
Vaporub and cough syrup in a pill form.
Something old, something new.
