Medicine? Not Enough to Battle This Cold


I bought myself a bottle of cheap champagne to celebrate my 31st birthday. I brought it home with the other items I had gone to Wal-mart to buy, and just mentioned to my mother, whose car I had driven, and who was therefore at my house, that I had bought some nighttime cold and flu medicine for myself along with the medicine Parker needed. She thought that I was referring to the champagne.

I needed the medicine much more than I needed the champagne, and so I had to wait several days before opening it. You may be able to see in this picture that the champagne I bought was extra dry, not a good choice considering that I've been battling a sore throat this entire week. Last night I really paid the price for drinking dry white wine without enough water to recompense. I will not make the same mistake tonight, I must remind myself.

hmmmm, rule of thumb for me is that usually cheap champagne is the best....it must have been too expensive ;) I like that idea, champagne for a cold! Maybe I will get sick more often!

The photo was difficult to get, let me tell you. Our camara is not the best. Looking at virtually any photo taken by Andrew Bishop brings this home.

The camara was set on the night setting (because there was no way we were going to be able to get enough light into the room) so it used a slow shutter speed. I could not hold the camara still. Even when I held it steadied against my leg with both hands the camara still swayed the slightest bit from side to side, and that was without trying to depress the button.
