Sometimes the Pharma route, drugs for anxiety and pain, seems attractive. But I’ve managed 75 years without such helps, and probably can continue. I prefer the drug of Little Victories.
This old dog knows how to take the Victory drug!
When a real hoop like a sudden jury call pops into my path I get all anxed up, and sometimes the hoop is genuinely hard to jump through. When I don’t have any real hoops available I’ll manufacture fake hoops like changing a light bulb, and declare victory. Got-R-Done is better than pharma.
Best reward for victory:
In my Baroque Fanatic days I ignored Tartini, possibly thinking he was one of those decadent avant-garde classical types like Haydn. I didn’t know what I was missing!
