I Just Overdosed on Allergy Medicine

Yep. Now, I can't have a drink while enjoying the awesomeness that is SXSW. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

See what happened was... I woke up with one of the worst headaches I've ever head in my entire life. I tried to sleep it off to no avail, so I grabbed some meds and went back to sleep. The Fed Ex guy woke me up at some point and my head was still pounding so I laid on the couch and tried to keep my head in a comfortable position. That wasn't very easy- I couldn't turn my head either way because the pain would come exploding back. Later, I woke up starving and forced myself to get something to eat while still suffering through the pain. In total, I waited about 4 hours and then took a couple more pills.

When Jon got home, I told him the medicine sucked and that we would never buy it again. That's when he told me that it wasn't headache medicine- it was allergy medicine. He put his Zyrtec in the Aspirin bottle and apparently told me once before. Well, I don't have any memory of that and I really thought they were the real thing. So, 5 Zyrtec later... I can't drink at the shows, could possibly feel some side effects, and could possibly damage my liver and kidneys.

Great.
