Way back half nekkid good night's sleep

Most people know that I don't like taking any kind of medication. I loathe going to the doctor and usually trust that time and rest will work most things out. There are times, however, when I will take pills, like aspirin for headaches. Yesterday, I received several sleeping pills in the mail from one of the (now favoritest) bloggers who visits this site. The gratitude I felt when those were in my mailbox was immeasurable. Sleep was on the way. I haven't figured out how to properly thank this person, but thanks are coming in addition to this one. Long story short, I slept for nine hours last night. And despite a slight grogginess this morning, I feel like weeping with joy.

I don't have anything planned for the blog today. And since it's Thursday and yesterday was Wednesday, here's a way-back-half-nekkid picture that represents the time I consider to have been my "top shape" year. It hasn't been exactly all downhill since then, but hairiness and wrinkliness are on the rise, as are the proliferation of freckles. (You do know that a tan is evidence of skin damage, right? I tanned a lot back then.)

  7. It's all about my philosophy of life: "better living through pharmacology." LOL.

    I sleep well (Imovane) am relatively "happy" (Effexor) Can relax in the blink of an eye (Ativan) and have hardly any HIV in me at all anymore (Reyataz, abacavir, 3TC)!

    All this for only $2000/a month!

    I used to have a lot of contempt for Big Pharma, and now, plus ca change, I want them to get whatever they want to keep my friends in white lab coats happy and busy!!!

  11. I am glad you got some sleep.

    As for other matters, at least you won't have to worry about additional sun-damage now that you live in Canada.

  13. Smart and Hot! Oops, I'm using labels. Glad you got some rest. There have been many times I thanked God in the morning for the pill the night before.
    And did I mention, hot? Why did I have to have skanky old Mizz Iodine for a teacher when the competition is so effortlessly superior?

    Really happy you got some well deserved sleep - as for the pic... yea, HOLY FUCK kinda sums it up!

  21. I guess you'll still need to work out why you couldn't sleep. Don't want to start relying on the pills, I guess. Good that you slept though. :)
