Working backward, he realized how long it had been since he had taken a vitamin. Why had he even packed them in his suitcase? He was pretty sure he hadn’t had one all week. Most people would probably have some other system to make such a calculation, like dumping them out and counting the remaining tablets. Not this guy.
Instead, he remembered back to The Applesauce Incident. Historically, he’d always had trouble swallowing things -- big things, that is, like those capsules in commercials they’re always pulling apart to pour out the goodness inside -- for display purposes only, of course.
Stop thinking about this. The point is to try harder. The point is always to try harder, isn’t it? This is one of the reasons he’s not too fond of reflecting: the realization is always that there’s plenty of room for improvement. Still, anyone who thinks otherwise, upon reflection, probably simply has more reflecting to do.
