So lately my throat has been bothering the hell out of me.  I have been coughing and coughing and my throat is really sore and my glands are swollen.  First thing I think is bird flu (yeah right).  Anyway, my mom gave me some cough medicine that my sister had when she had a bad cough/cold.  I take a few swigs of it and in the next few minutes I'm right as rain.  I overslept today (14 hrs), and woke up with a bad cough.  So I go into the kitchen and get more cough syrup, and of course it goes away.  2 hours later, I am drowsy as hell, like I didn't sleep at all.  I was nodding off while watching TV, and I think "Well I overslept and my sleep pattern is just funked up."  Tonight, about 30 mins ago, I went to get more cough medicine before I went to sleep, and I get a closer look on the label:

Hydrocodone, 2.5%

 I'm friggin wasted here.

Yep. It's an oral narcotic, you were "on the nod".
