A Real Pain

A paper co - authored by Toronto's St Michaels Hospital reveals that loss of health , income and life maybe higher due to opioids than alcohol ,flu and pneumonia combined. Some estimates have deaths related to opioid use up 200 % in ten or 15 years.
The category includes heroin and its derivatives including oxycotin.
Much of the abuse starts as a prescription for pain but accelerates into a full blown addiction.  Oxycotin is considered a safer pain control method than other medications and very effective.

Weather : rain as promised , w/ high humidity to follow

On the decorating front. A trip to ' BBB ' , Bath , Bed and Beyond , yielded a bed set of comforter and supporting characters. A patterned blue on blue design , we think we got lucky w/ the colours and motif. Pics to follow , mostly b/c you've had to read the               ' agony and ecstasy ' as the project unfolded.
On the down side , no painting was done yesterday but a lot of soul searching occurred. No lampshades , either.
W/ our blinds removed , yes we could have waited another 2 weeks , but the hall is filled w/ painting stuff and we wanted to put our lives back to - gether , the sun pours in during the morning. We've been faking curtains by using the torn up balloon drapes but yesterday , I found ' black out ' curtains. Works great !  but dummy didn't read the part where the package says ' one panel '. you got it 1 / 2 a window's worth. I thought it was too good at $ 20, I was right. We'll visit another store thats on the route to QMH , and buy another 1 / 2 window cover.

Be kind to your web footed friends
B/c a duck could be somebody's mother

P.S. - ' the Agony and the Ecstasy ' is a book on the life of Michelangelo. I read this book prior to a trip to Rome and Florence
(or Roma et Firenza ) in 1978.
