FRIDAY...AGAIN!?!?!

So, it's freakin' Friday, already, folks! Is it me, or is time just, like, zoomin' by? Pffffff! It's Friday! Pffffff! It's Friday! Pffffff....... Oy gevalt, as my Jewish friends have taught me to say on such an occasion. Or, Oy vey!!! Both work! So, Oy gevalt! Woke up, took my pills and the week is empty again. My pill case, hmm. Well, my pill case is, well, HUGE! It holds, multi-vitamin, pressure (prescribed med) pill, and the other prescription is, of course, lets say it all together, you all... "a sleeping pill!!". Which, oh, by the way, I didn't take upon bedtime last night. But, I only waited 45 minutes to see if I would sleep with just the valerian root....I DID NOT! Ughh!! Oh, and so, the vitamin, the two prescribed meds, then Calcium citrate with D (old lady bone meds, been taking for several years now), B complex, (3 very large) Omgea 3 fish oil gels (gotta take your Omega fish oils...I forget why, oh, yeah....memory!!), oh, and very beneficial for morning stiffness, and joint mobility, I find, (3 very large) glucosamine and chondroitin, reduced dose aspirin (never know when a stroke is lurking about!). I take half in the morning and half bedtime. I read that the body processes it all better when not taken all at once.

You paying attentiion here? You can benefit from this plethera of suplements I've gotten somehow sucked into taking. Plan on introducing red rice yeast next week, upon next doctor's visit (which visit is really re: yep, you got it...sleep issues!!). Red rice yeast is what Mike takes for its cholesterol lowering benefit. He reacted to the statin he was taking with sore joints, and so has benefited from this natural supplement. I suffered no joint issues, but have opted to get off the statin (Zocor), too, only because I read all of the oh-so-scary side effects (one of which is SLEEPLESSNESS!!!)

Oh, so, back to my suffering from terminal-time-is-flying-by-to-damn-quickly syndrome! When you're a kid...the weekend never comes...school-homework-school-homework...and on...."When will 3:00 pm Friday ever get here?!?!" Now days, gevalt! (here I go again....) Not only do I have to put together my stockpile of additives to my body, I have to do Mike's (not nearly as many as mine), and Justin's. Jus' meds are two pills that help his mood and so, allows him to live with us. No kidding. Mood can be difficult/impossible to manage without 'em. Also, a third pill: multi-vitamin is all. It is a real lesson in keeping one's mind "in the present moment" when doling out our weekly doses. Don't think I haven't mixed up who gets what once in a while....keeps 'em on their toes!

So, it's 10:00 Friday morning, and since I need to fill our cases with various shapes and colored tabs, gels and capsules tomorrow morning, I'd better gather them now! Happy weekend! But, hey, wasn't it just, like, three minutes ago when it was Saturday and it was our turn to have all the neighbors together for wii bowling and a food fest? No, not three minutes ago? Oh, guess it just feels that way!
