5mg of Valium, is just fine in a compromised world. Yes the withdrawal/rebound/dependence thing. I remember (I think) you scaling back, and glad you sound like you landed on your feet.
So, I did make it out to the henhouse this morning. I have a chair there. They are
still the funniest, most endearing creatures. They are molting, which to the unknowing eye is quite unattractive. But beauty is in the beholder's eye.Yesterday my son brought his favorite chicken onto our deck during supper, and she had a corn cob which she relished. Now she is a funny-looking thing: a turken, or a naked-neck chicken. Bold as day, too, but not aggressive.
