Deep thoughts.
Why do I continue thinking that I can avoid the Halloween candy if I buy stuff for the treat-or-treaters that I don’t like? Let’s face it, I’d love to dive into those Heath bars and Tootsie Pops.
How did it happen that I will run out of current prescriptions of metformin AND thyroid medication tomorrow [...]
