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.

This is me, too. Also the not knowing where to put things that don't have an obvious place. Clutter is my nemesis. askye, keepng meds in a breadbox is a great idea; Imma steal it.

I need to start using the whole house instead of keeping my stuff in my own little area so it didn't get lost in Hubby's stuff.

Zen -steal away! It's a cute breadbox that has a lid that comes off rather than being one that opens and closes -- but mom got it at a garage sale when I first moved up here. Everything fits and I use a pill container for the week so I only have to fish out prescription bottles once a week. Theoretically. Right now it's not being used.

I vacuumed and did 2 loads of laundry and I spent a bunch at the grocery store but I made smart choices so that's a win for me.

Under the bed can be good storage. And also some kind of coffee table/ottoman with storage built in. I have a trunk I use for a coffee table (although right now it's an under the window table) and it's at various times held: dvds, books, out of season clothes, blankets, random misc crap that needed to be stored. It doubles as furniture, except it's a little to high for using to prop my feet on but other than that it's been a useful piece. When I moved I put a bunch of stuff in it and then the trunk went in the pod so it saved space.

Work tomorrow. I don't want to go it's supposed to be in the 80s for the last part of my shift with humidity levels around 80%. Then Wednesday is going to be worse - high of 91 that day and just as humid.

I grocery shopped with the idea that my feet and hands will swell. So lots of fruit, lettuce, and lower sodium stuff and I'll be drinking lots of water. Just need to remember to turn on at least on a/c before I leave so it will be cool-ish when I get home.
