                           Me on cold medication, II
                                        
In the directory where I keep draft versions of entries, I found one labled
cold.medication dated July 7^th which contained the following:

> I've been coming down with a cold so I ended up going to bed early last
> night. At about 3:30 am I found myself unable to sleep so I took some cold

> then drifted off to sleep.
> 
> At 6:30 I found myself wide awake in a red convertible doing about 130 out

Funny, I thought. I don't recall writing that. But I must have, since it was
written when I was sick. And I am a lightweight when it comes to OTC
medication.

Then I noticed that the file was dated June 7^th, not July 7^th. Which was
odd, since I wasn't sick on June 7^th [1]. It was then I noticed that it was
June 7^th 2005 and it all made sense. Yes, I was sick then [2] so that's when
I must have written it.
