Do Not Try This At Home!

You know that feeling when you have been sick for so long and all you want is to feel better? Well, that was me this last week (I even took a day and 1/2 off of work - Gasp!). I had been sick for about 4 days and as soon as I started to feel better, I felt a relapse coming on.
At work on Tuesday, after much complaining, a coworker gave me a few suggestions... The first was Mucinex, and might I say that I am in love. All of the sinus pressure and the ongoing headache was gone within a few hours of taking the medication. Second, was Vicks VapoRub, of course I am familiar with this but she suggested an oil that could be used in a vaporizer. While at the pharmacy, feeling awful, and in a fog I found tablets that can be used in the shower. I thought, "Oh! I will put this in vaporizer...I'm sure it's the same type of thing." Well, when I woke up the next morning and returned to the bedroom after a shower, I noticed that my dresser looked a little dusty...


And the nightstand...


and the bed...


Needless to say, as the tablet dissolved the vaporizer 'shot' a dusty substance all over my room. I will be cleaning this one up for a while!!
