Lingering effects

Awoke this morning with my brain floating in and out of focus and feeling like I could topple over any moment. Actually cooked breakfast and tried to read the Sunday paper in that state hoping a couple of cups of strong coffee would straighten out the neurons and synapses of my mind into some kind of order. I think that the cold medicines I've been taking have built up to a point that some of it had actually set up housekeeping in the dark recesses of my mind. So no more cold medication today, I took a nap after breakfast, felt a little better and took care of one of my chores, had lunch then settled in to watch the start of a couple football games and took another nap. The symptoms of my cold have faded a bit and I'm planning on not taking any medication before bed tonight unless I start coughing and can't get any sleep but it hadn't been a problem during my naps so I think I'm on the up swing.
