After spending the morning in continued head pain and picking up a prescription for Amoxicillin, downing the first capsule moments after walking away from the counter and well before hitting the door, I stopped for some takeout Chinese food on the way to my car. I thought that a little hot soup and spicy chicken would aid the process of clearing out my nasal passages. Between picking up the lunch and arriving at home, the box has angled enough to drain some of the sauce into the plastic bag, and over the obligatory fortune cookie. As I found this while unpacking the contents, I didn't think much of it, and just figured I'd eat the cookie now, as there was no real point in waiting and letting it get any soggier. But while chewing away, I found that the taste was not quite as I'd expected. Sauce coating aside, there was something else awry. Something a bit denser than the typical fortune cookie. Something like.... paper. Yeah. Paper. I stuffed the cookie into my mouth without removing the fortune. Had I read it before ingesting it, it likely said: "You'll soon pass unsolicited advice."
This one, this one I'll blame on the medication.
