Feeling sketchy

It's that time of year again the dreaded lurgy is doing the rounds. As always when a student the chance of getting sick seems to spike just after holidays when assignments are due and test are on. But all this I can deal with so long as I've got some medication, so off to the pharmacy.

It's about this point I realise that p fiends have changed NZ a bit and buying decongestants is generally considered a suspect behaviour. It's about this time I reconsider my appearance trackies, two days of stubble, sweating and vague hmmmm I'm starting to feel like a teenager off to buy underage liquor. So I decide to do a bit of grocery shopping first cos what kinda p fiend has money or desire for food?

.... well the pharmacist didn't seem to concerned with supplying the necessaries, tho I did have to show ID. Actually the biggest problem was that it cost $20!! (when did that happen?) . Seems like the best way to stop p really just bump up the price of cold and flu!
