3. TODAY'S SELF OBSERVATION
Thursday evening is "satisfy missus" evening, which I did, just about, before the "probe of pleasure" died on me. This has prompted me to return to a chemical solution despite the painful financial cost. I hear that the patent for Viagra has recently expired, so hopefully cheap generic forms will soon appear. In the meantime I will return to the longer-lasting tadalafil.

I was hoping that incuding peanuts in my diet would solve the problem, and for some time I was convinced that it was doing so, but my virility seems to be undergoing a progressive decline and is now beyond natural solutions. Libido itself is reasonably buoyant, it's only the physical mechanism that's failing me. Oh well never mind. There are far worse afflictions, and least I can deal with mine by throwing money at it. 

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are there things about yourself you need to come to terms with?
