3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
For some time, intimacy with missus had frankly been hard work, but being liberated from taking the precautions has transformed the experience! The reality is it feels a thousand times better, and faking is no longer necessary. Tadalafil is still required to guarantee everything works, but the prospect is no longer evoking Performance Anxiety. I can just relax and rise to the occasion as required.

Considering she is a Paranoid Schizophrenic and I am her carer, it is astonishing how spectacularly successful and happy the relationship is. I rather like being worshipped and adored and making such a vital difference. Even more incredibly, she holds down a full-time job, enabling me to be full-time carer/housekeeper, hold down the Weekend Job and run my Practice. I rather like the idea of an "experience" with someone who has all their marbles, but I could never use the excuse of being unhappy.

The only problem with being at home most of the time is that I have "let myself go" a bit. Diet and exercise have been neglected, and from today I intend to restore balance and adress these issues.

The world's hardest crossword puzzles according to experts appear in two British newspapers: The Times and Observer. Only few readers can complete these and it takes them 2 to 3 hours.
