Stu Stein and the Bathroom of Doom

You know it's been a while since you've cleaned your bathroom when half of your medicines are expired and the other half have the expiration dates rubbed off. I also stumbled upon a plethora of those time rubber bands the orthodontists give you to straighten your bite. They were scattered about every drawer I cleaned like little bathroom ants waiting to be disposed of.

I also realized that I don't use medicine nearly to the extent I did when I was younger. I came to the conclusion that the vast majority of medicine comes at the beginning and ends of my life. I've heard that the most expensive medical years are the last seven years of your life. So even though I'm tossing my old medicines, I realize the day will come all too soon when I'm stocking up again. I hope to avoid the humiliation of diapers next time.
