he found himself

He found himself concerned with the issues and ailments of others and occasionally, when at the homes of these particular others would, on a ritualized basis seek through pantries and kitchen drawers and make trips to the bathrooms of these others to discover any particular types of drugs or medications there were available and if they were drugs that he could abuse we would actually, under the cover of stealth open them and retrieve a small amount of pills, an amount he thought he could easily get away with. He also found it fun to analyze the people living at these homes and to think about what kind of conditions they had...like why does this woman take fluoxitine? Perhaps she is a depressed piece of mud and has self-image issues. Hahah, so good. You can learn much about a person by peering through their selections of amber and orange bottles. None of us knew, however, until some of our medications - unabsuable - began to go missing. I lost some allergy tablets and, it being about the time to renew a prescription have found myself without them for a week and a half and suffering from a crinkled up nose dripping mucous everywhere i shake my head it's quite terrible, and the eyes oh the eyes! they puff and swell and make me look Canadian. It must stop. The eyes puffy and my friend's thievery. So I asked my friends half-seriously if any of them were missing some pills. I kept it vague because it was just a hypothesis. Who would steal pills? If they were of any value, like Ritalin or Vicodin, they would have been kept elsewhere, or hidden from our parents so they wouldn't find out we were abusing them. Sorry, mom. But that's what you get for listening to the school psychologist. Sandy called me. She was crying, her ring of birth control pills was empty and she had just had sex with Donny the night before. I comforted her and said Sandy you have a 72 hour window and she said she knows she knows but the pills were expensive and her insurance was doing something because her dad's job was doing something and well it actually wasn't as big of a deal as she thought it would be and i was able to corral her into buying more and preventing a sour pregnancy.
