Codeine cough syrup

So I picked up my prescription for codeine cough syrup yesterday, eagerly looking forward to a good night's sleep. Well, hmm. I think it made me feel groggy, but that business about suppressing the cough reflex? Not so much. I woke up cough, cough, coughing several times. Frankly, the Chloraseptic spray was far more effective at suppressing that throat tickle. Tough to aim though. Does the codeine cough syrup really stop the coughing for you? I think it just made it easier for me to fall back asleep.

In happier news, I saw an almond and a quince in bloom today, and our almond is starting too. Maybe I can finish the rose pruning next weekend.
