Rambling about medicine


I take OTC meds in a really screwed up way. That is, I don't. Period. I have bottles of Advil and Midol and such, I just never take any of the pills.

Why? Because I'm always saving them for when I "really need it". This headache will go away on its own; I should save the Advil for when I really need it. These cramps are no worse than any other month; I should save the Midol for when I really need it.

Except, I'm never going to really need it. There's always going to be a time when my head is going to hurt worse or my cramps are going to be killing me worse that I'm saving for. It's the hoarder in me. I never throw things away because I might need whatever it is someday.

Anyway, this is really fucking stupid. The meds thing. Not the general hoarding, cuz I might need that stuff someday. ;-)

So I hereby vow to stop being such a fucknut about it. *pops a handful of Midol* Bring it on, world!

I don't know, I thought your argument sounded quite logical given the outrageous price of generic medication ;-)
