You might be amused by my cowardly response to injections.

I make my wife give me the weekly Ozempic shot in the gut with the tiny needle. That stuff works great at least on my fat gut although it's had limited effect on my fat head.

I was a peptide chemist as a kid, so it is nice to be taking a peptide drug.
