Compartmentalization

COMPARTMENTALIZATION Friends, absolutely believe why not in the “Loony Bin? Compartmentalized my stresses, so messes … not get in! Compartments help me remember, one illness at a time. Must do cause, "nine" problems have, not about to loose ... my mind! Compartments, real life savers, now one job at time, tackle. Improved old age focus, glad husband … didn't spackle. Compartmentalize medications if don't, embarrassed be. Took water pills, before party, oops … in “Depend’s” did pee. Doc’s now compartmentalize, which body part they'll inspect. Last visit showed my sagging boobs, examine ... was for my neck! Crucial to compartmentalize, must do each week heard some say. Might put off till tomorrow, cause tomorrows ... another day.

Michelle, nice hearing from you, appreciate your taking the time to visit. I keep saying, "I am 42, twice". Don't feel my age. Thank God every day, I don't.
