Emergen-C

Isn't Emergen-C the best? The powered fizzy drink that prevents you from getting sick when you know you are doomed? I think so. Nothing like an $8 box of drink mix that lasts for a year and saves your butt when a cold is coming on and you have a term paper/presentation due in a week.

This is tragic.

Safeway. Safeway is robbing us. I went to the store just today to find this wonderful supplement and guess what I stumbled upon??? A box of Emergen-C NO CHEAPER than $17.00!!!

I swear.

It was awful. I didn't know what to tell myself... "welp, let the post nasal drip take over this time... you can't handle this bill." ABSOLUTELY NOT. I had the box in my hand.... about to leave the aisle. But I just could not do it. I feel like I would be paying my left arm for this, what an outstanding price! So, I looked a few rows down and found... (that's right) AIRBORNE. I consider this silly canister a joke. It's like alka seltzer. Or something weird like that. I have absolutely no faith in it.

Ok, I can't lie anymore, I didn't buy Airborne. I bought "Air Health". That's right, I could even pay for the name brand $6 canister. I had to go to the $4.00 canister. I have decided this is all a mental game I play with myself... the only reason Air Health hasn't stopped my colds is because of my lack of faith. So this time, I'm turning over a new leaf. I am going to drink my lemon alka seltzer KNOWING that this cold will not conquer me.

Oh, geez. Who am I kidding? I will be down and out for 2 weeks.
