premise: Though my nephew Alex seems to have passed his cold to Erick and myself while we were babysitting , so today I ' m not feeling quite as good as I 'd hoped - while I ' m supposed to be helping my parents put their house back together post - remodeling in time for the shindig tomorrow . Not only for Memorial Day , but also for my grandparents ' 60th Wedding Anniversary party . Anyway , now I ' m waiting for my transcript to arrive so I can finally apply to Colorado for permission to take the NCLEX . I just KNOW they 're going to lose it and some disaster will happen and I 'll never get a job . What did you do before going over to help your parents ?
hypothesis: I took some cold medicine to try and pep myself up before the work we had to do
