I love Vicks VapoRub. Love. Love. Love. LOVE.

He Who Makes Me Smile was looking for Vicks Vaporub in the medicine cabinet last night. Sadly, we were out. I felt like a bad wifey-to-be. One must ALWAYS HAVE VICKS VAPORUB IN THE MEDICINE CABINET!

Of course last night he needed it. But TODAY? Today I needed it too. As the day went on and on and on and on (all day off-site work retreat) I felt more and more congested. BUT I’M THE ONE GETTING BETTER! Or not. Grrr. During the drive home I kept tugging at my turtleneck. Neck and chest congested. Ick.

I got home around 5. Slathered myself in vaporub and spent 30 minutes running around the house doing house things. You know, fliping the laundry, folding the laundry, putting away the laundry, watering the plants, taking out the garbage…and getting out the SpotBot for the carpet because the damn old spoiled old dog peed by the couch again. (God bless the SpotBot, best pet owner with a carpet invention EVER!)

Anyhow…by the time He Who Makes Me Smile walked in the door 40 minutes later I was already a loosey goosey drippy down my throat mini coughing runny nose every 2 minute mess. Instant. Seriously. (Well, either that or the Mucinex worked in 30 minutes.)

Amazing results. And the smell reminds me of childhood…

Early quiet night for me.
