I keep my meds in the bathroom (except ibuprofen and tylenol, which live in the kitchen for some reason), but Tim takes the rule about not storing meds in the bathroom (because of humidity) very seriously. I obviously don't care, and my meds seem to work just fine.

I also need to add a mirror in the bathroom, because the mirror on the medicine cabinet is too high for me, unless all I want to see is my forehead. For similar reasons, I can only really use the bottom shelf of the medicine cabinet.

I really wish this apartment had a linen closet. Or a front closet. Or any closet other than the one in the bedroom, really. I've got all sorts of stuff -- vacuum cleaner, extra toilet paper, extra batteries, etc. -- that just seem like they ought to go in a closet.

My place doesn't have enough storage space.

Our pharmacy is good about ordering up refills before we need them, and those are stored in the linen closet, because 1.dark, 2.dry, 3.there's only one linen closet and we know where it is.

H has a breakfast meds cup and a dinner meds cup, different shapes, and he doles them out before breakfast every morning. I have a saki cup as my only meds cup, and it sits by my reading chair where I have coffee every morning. My morning meds are in the end table drawer. When I finish breakfast, I take meds, and take the cup with me to the bathroom, where I put evening meds in the cup and then put them by my reading chair where I sit after dinner.

The exception to this is the thyroid med which has to be taken on an empty stomach, an hour before food or coffee. It's in the bathroom. I set my alarm an hour early, get up, take that pill and leave the bottle on the counter, and then sleep another hour. If the bottle's not there, I didn't get up and take the pill. If it's there, I put it away for the next morning.

Works, for us. OTC meds are in his bathroom, and duped in mine, damp be damned.

I have a br3adbox the meds go in. Theoretically. Right now they are on the counter because I'm lazy. I had to stop storing them in the bathroom or linen closet because the humidity was making the lithium tablets melt.

I have been a sloth today. I stayed up too late again but I was doing role play within second lifeel and with 4 people 2 of us newbies it takes time. Because it's paragraphs and turn based. So even if I'm asked a direct question I have to wait for the others to do first.

Today mostly I've been a sloth and I have to insloth and go to the grocery store.

I have morning and evening drugs, in two caddies. One caddie goes with me to work, because I don't eat before I get to the office, and the drugs are happier with food. All my drugs live in a container in my office, where I spend most of my time at home.

I recently moved into an efficiency with no closets so understand your dilemma. It really made me think about where things "should" go - I mean it would be nice to have more than one extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom but six rolls fit nicely into the trunk that doubles as the end table by the couch so that's where they are!

Hil, I feel your pain WRT lack of closets. Although it sounds like I have slightly more than you, as my hallway has kitchen cabinet type of thing (upper and lower) that serve as linen closet (lower) and game closet (upper). I love my condo, but it needs more closets. If ever I'm lucky enough to get a girlfriend, I really hope she doesn't have a lot of clothes or clutter to store.

That being said, I recall making a bunch of 'closets' for Pix and ND when they moved into their Pasadena bungalow, as it had none. Lovely Ikea pieces. Maybe those would help? Not today. But, an idea.

As for meds in the bathroom, moisture shouldn't be an issue, as they all come in little bottles that seal tightly. Sometimes so much so, you can't open the bloody thing when you want it. Temperature is another thing. But my kitchen gets hotter than the bathroom. :: shrugs::

I *have* plenty of closets. I just have stuff in them I don't really need to have, so all the stuff that should be in closets lies around all in the way and cluttery.

We do not have sufficient closets here for our purposes. I'm glad we at least expanded the one in what will be ltc's room when we first moved in.
