Hangover City
A demon cold has decided to use my body as a host, and I still haven’t found a cold medicine that doubles as an exorcism. This is exactly why I hate winter: first a case of Strep Throat and now this.
Last night I took some nighttime cold medicine in hopes of getting a full night of sleep. I did! However, waking up this morning was a bitch. I slept through my alarm clock, woke up dizzy and had the general symptoms of a Las Vegas bender. The good news is I didn’t have to worry about where I lost my panties or whether or not I really did dance on top of a table in the middle of a crowded bar. So I’ve got that going for me.
The bad news is I have no idea what the remedy for a cold medicine hangover is. Somehow I don’t think greasy eggs and a Bloody Mary is going to solve this one. Instead, I’m going to try a lot of coffee and a day filled with sarcasm. It’s really all I’ve got at this point.

Zicam Nasal Gel.
Try Gatorade.
Hair of the dog.
Literally.
(Hi, Daisy!)
Cookies. Always cookies. Perhaps RLO could step it up?
Pickled herring.
Yeah, if you find a solution, pass it on to me. I’m miserable over here, and I can’t blame it on my recent Vegas bender, either.
I’m pretty sure the cure for a cold medicine hangover is wasabi peas.
Lots of Tivo and laying on the couch. Oh and pug kisses. I hear that’s the best cure
Unfortunately, I think the only cure for a cold medicine hangover is more sleep.
Blech, I know exactly how you feel.
Girl, I don’t know why you’re not getting it. If you lived in a place with no winter, no colds. End of story.
I was dizzy. Turned out to be positional vertigo.
Had to take some meclizine and flop
my head on the bed to get the crap in my ear canal loose.
Oh yeah, that was a lot of fun!
I just know the neighbors believe me when I tried to explain away the bed banging noise.
As you are now considered a part of the Janglestein family by Ma’ and Pa’ Jangle, I have been given permission to divulge to you a cure which has been in this great family for generations. It cures any State of Hangover, including thy own City State.
As this information is confidential and considered a Jangle heirloom, I kindly ask that all other readers look away.
The recipe:
1) Allow yourself to be bitten by a dog*
2) Follow the creature till it lays an egg, and promptly pick it up.
3) Cook this egg in a pan with bacon, allowing it to become very grease. DO NOT CRACK SHELL!!
4) Incubate the egg in a microwave. Within minutes a fully grown pickled herring (of the dog that bit you — be very sure of this) shall be birthed.
5) Place this herring in a fishbowl filled with tomato juice, vodka, and optionally tabasco sauce.
6) Mix with flour and a photograph of Sarah Nielson, and blend rigorously.
7) Bake into cookies.
8) Consume! Suggested method of ingestion is the mouth, although anal consumption is equally adequate. Many of us (myself included) prefer this method.
* Dog must have the ability to lay eggs
Hot tea with LOTS of honey, chicken noodle soup, hours of lazy tv watching, dog snuggles, and Tylenol Cool Burst.
I’m just wrapping up my own regimen.
Feel better!
Hope u r feeling better soon!
