My Favorite Rx

It’s not your typical prescription, it’s not even the creation of a biotech company. My favorite med is a product of those crazy Generation Xers. No, not medicinal gummies, I’m talking about the chill pill, as in, “take a chill pill”, “chill out”, “chill dude” and etc. The chill pill helps control my blood pressure, and probably contributes to good health in other ways as well. 

I’m not perfect, but I try. Earlier today, at Krogers, my phone wouldn’t let me scan a digital coupon. Oh the humanity. I began to punish my not-so-smart phone, but had to cease and desist after a crowd, with videos rolling, began to form a circle. Maybe I’ll become a YouTube celebrity. 

I never “lose” it with Chrissy, as she would deal with my tantrum in a most decisive and unpleasant manner.

And I’m pretty chill behind the wheel of my car. My philosophy is that if I wouldn’t swear at you face to face, I shouldn’t cuss you out from the safety of my car. That, and the fact that you may be armed and dangerous. 

A chill pill helps me when someone says something I don’t agree with. I mean, while everyone is entitled to my opinion, I know that the constitution gives them the right to disagree with me, as long they don’t mind being wrong. 

The chill pill also helps me deal with stock market volatility. I learned my lesson years ago, on Black Monday, and have chilled out ever since.

The moral of my story is that with the recent volatility in the market, a chill pill might help you keep your sanity.
