RESPONSIBLE DECONGESTING

 


ZYRTEC, Jamestown, NC

It’s been said that with age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone. And with autumn comes beautiful leaves sailing on the winds, but allergies come along for the ride.


I was seeking an assist from a strong antihistamine in Public’s Pharmacy area without finding it, so I asked for help. I was reminded that it is kept behind the counter (to discourage meth labs) and I needed to produce my Drivers License to be registered in a database and pay on the spot to acquire some relief.

I produced my cards, raised my right hand and swore to “decongest responsibly”! The pharmacists on duty were listening and they all chuckled as the cashier handed me my bagged contraband with great fanfare and the admonition to “please decongest responsibly”. 😉

—Just another day in the life of a retired senior citizen.
