I COULD NOT FIND a photo of a bottle of pain relievers, and I did not have to drink coffee to increase the effect of the drug, but I am grateful that I had it, and that I could still benefit from it. In a couple of weeks I can't take aspirin for a week in preparation for my upcoming endoscopy. Thankfully they will let me take tylenol. Somehow, after an almost perfect day, I managed to get a backache, just as it was time to walk the garbage bags to the curb. My scrabble buddy Audrey, even offered to drive by and take them out for me. I was thrilled but declined. Figured if the excedrin did not work, I could get up really early in the morning and get the bags out, or just leave them for next week.
One of the comics in today's paper was about delighting in every day things. One of my comments on retirement was that I actually was home when the garbage was picked up. In fact, on Friday mornings I delight to have the garbage truck under my second floor window be my alarm clock.
Well, two hours after taking the pills, I felt well enough to finish collecting trash and got it out. I am happy, and although I don't look as bad as the lady in the picture, I look forward to a restful night, with no emergency early morning trips out to the curb.
Tomorrow I have free all day. Tonight, I shall dream of ways to fill it!!
