iced tea and dayquil

So, I won't write much today, because I have a bad cold. If you were to talk to me you'd probably laugh, because it's one of those colds where everything you say sounds funny. Anyways, slept in today, got nearly 12 hrs. of sleep and still felt like I could sleep more. A little afternoon I went to Target with my brother to get dayquil sinus medicine so that I'll feel half way decent tomorrow when I go into work. There's a starbuck's in Target so we stopped to get something, and I thought I'd get a cup of tea, since I hadn't had any since I left Belfast. I asked for tea (forgetting I was in America) with milk and sugar in it. The girl gave me a slightly odd look, then said that there was sugar and milk over there (pointed) if I wanted it in it, so I just asked for it black. Here's the funny part: when she gave it to me, (a result of my being dumb and forgetting I was in America) it was iced tea. And all I thought was, "oh, yeah, I probably should've specified that I wanted hot tea." But I guess that's why I got the odd look when I asked for milk and sugar in my tea. That would be strange in iced tea. So, now I'm going home- to hopefully rest and feel better. Oh, and I did end up getting a proper cup of tea later today. That was nice.
