My Toilet Has OD'd

Being unable to enjoy the lovely weather without hacking my guts out I have resorted to searching through my things with a fine tooth comb. I came across my hall closet and decided to pull out the old medications.

I tend to hold on to prescribed medication longer than I should. I'm not sure why I do that but I do. What it sad is that I found a box full of meds from my surgery back in 2002. This is crazy. I mean, having that much medication in one place? I know it losses it's potency with age but I had a ton of it.

I can't even tell you what all that crap was for. In fact, a lot of the meds were almost full. I mean, I do remember not taking a lot of some things because it would make me sick or it had bad side effects. The good thing is that I am not on any one of these drugs any longer.

I know I'm sick now but it's just a cold. I'm happy that this is all I'm dealing with. Throwing out these drugs makes me think back to how it used to be. I have a lot to be thankful for that is for sure.

I threw it all in my toilet and made the big flush. My toilet is probably in convulsions right now. Here is a list of what I tossed....
