Cold medicine

I assume it was a jinx. As soon as I threw out the last two cold medicine pills (Advil cold and flu liquid tablets) because I was never really sick and because I didn't want to put them in another box of 'one day I will clear out this so it doesn't take up room in the attic', I got sick. I don't remember if I was leaving or coming but only that it had something to do with packing and Glasow when I tossed it, well-knowing that you cannot get cold medicine in Denmark. Somehow the Danish health and drug administration does not believe in cold medicine, which means that the only relief for sore throat and runny nose is ibuprofen and cough drops. This is why I always attempt to have a supply of cold & flu remedies when I am in Denmark, still aware that I might not need if for years and then not being able to find it when I need it. I have no idea why it is not legalized here in Denmark when you can get it most other places I have been and I have to admit that I love the effect the night time version gives you. As Homer Simpson would put it: uhmmmmmm, drooooowsy...
