We all die at one point in our lives, or I should say at the final step in our lives on earth. The mystery of life is how we will die. Most of us don’t choose, but wait for the cause of our fate to be revealed.
Every day, the main surprise in my life is what new ache or pain I will experience and whether to take Tylenol, Advil or Aleve. I looked at our Kitchen table last night and noticed it was cleared of misc. items such as empty containers, cans of food and long missing items (I’ve been looking for that!!).
Gayle had organized it all into neat rows and sections. But it was all medically related, prescriptions, vitamin supplements, weekly pill containers, and a selection of pain relievers. During my excursions at Costco, I used to think how anyone can sonsume that many pills before the expiration date. I now have a wide variety of time released, extra strength and generic vs. brand name items. Cold remedies, allergy and Lactaid are kept in a separate area. Then there is the section for the dog which seems to grow every month.
So which of these ailments that I spend a fortune on will be the one to finally put me to rest? With my luck I will be hit by a bus.
