I Don'T Do Pills Well

I am on predizone or nitrachrome or some other such for my asthma kit. Who invented asthma anyway, and why? It helps absolutely no one my friend! A result is that I’m a drug addict this week; and I don’t like it the least little bit. I don’t do well on predizone or Midol or Science Diet or booze of any kind. My old boss, also my best friend in the world used to say, “Don’t have a fit.” “Take a pill, stay at home.” She would continue. “ We can do without your mania today.” It took 4 sleeping pills and a hammer in my head to let me sleep 2 hours last night, It’s 8 a.m. and I already know my husband Joe’s idea of a good day is to stay out of sight.

It is such a vicious circle for me. I am not a pill kind of woman!

Taking pills is no fun for sure, Caren.

Not when you can't sleep, which makes some of us pretty deplorable, namely me.
