Pill Popper

Two advil in the morning and an antibiotic, followed by a vitamin, an omega 6 faty acid pill, a joint suppliment and a multivitamin. Sometimes I down them all at once with a great gulp of water, feeling them lodge in my throught for an awful moment before sliding down. There, now that's done. Another two advil with lunch, then the omega-6 and the joint one again at night. So many mental images of standing in my kitchen opening bottles and shaking out pills that I'm beginning to lose track. Did I take these already this morning or is it last night I'm remebering? I'm losing my memory. When my friend teases me for not remembering stories that she probably never told me in the first place, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe she did. Was I always this way?

I'm achy and stiff from the moment I get out of bed all through the day in my office chair or walking around the house, until I get to the gym to work out and make myself achy and still all over again. I'd say I feel old, but was't this what college was like too?
