Note to myself

A memo to avoid future bad decisions.

To: ME
From: Me

For future reference: The instructions on the box said "two strips for children age 6- 12"..... it said nothing about a 27 year old. Also, Children's Triaminic is not as good as you remember it. If you are not sick, it is not going to make you feel better than you already are. If your 7 year old is sick, and you want her to take the tongue strips that melt on her mouth, bribe her with something next time- no matter what- don't take one with her. Whatever level of comfort you might give her as you both put them on your tongues simultaneously.... it isn't worth it! Give her M&M's, a cookie, 5 bucks...... whatever.... but don't take the Triaminic unless you really think that you need it.
Triaminic is good for sick children, you haven't heard her cough since she took it and she is sleeping great. But since YOU took one strip, you are sick to your stomach.... and have sudden reoccurring memories of that bad tasting cough syrup you spit out as a child.... next time buy the orange flavor, not the wild berry. Way to go genius.
