Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hah. I am on eleven prescriptions, plus an OTC multivitamin supplement. Nineteen pills a day. My pill organizer has twenty-eight compartments -- 7 days each with morning, noon, evening, bedtime.

I highly recommend the Medisafe app. I found it easy to set up, easy to use, and the prompts and reminders keep me on track.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I take two pills a day, both first thing in the morning, and have an alert on my phone to remind me and sometimes I get the alert and look at the pill bottles and think "right, I should take those" and still don't because first I will just, I don't know, put on my shoes or find my keys or whatever and then I leave the house, pills untaken. Things that are easy can still, somehow, be very hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was about to despair about the number of emails I have to deal with vs. my interest in dealing with anything else this week, but I just scanned them, and there aren't so many after all! And most of what is there can wait! Huzzah.

Our wings are not tired.

I have the basic AM/PM variety of pill holder. And I use my calendar reminders because I use calendar reminders for everything in life.

Aww, I hope ltc stayed alert. Not a bad mom!

OMG, maybe I really should just log off. I'm sitting here laughing hysterically because I was trying to respond to someone's "have a good weekend" email, and I typed, "Thanks, and you!!!!!"

(I did catch it and add the "too" before sending.)

I mean... that could have been OK... sort of an old-fashioned, "And you, my friend!" vibe to it.

Maybe with fewer exclamation points. That just looks unhinged.

Exclamation points, so tricky!

Ha, ha, ha! Fair point.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Dottie has all her meds in AM and PM day of the week boxes. She takes hers with bacon flavor pill pockets.

Me on the other hand - I stopped taking my anti-anxiety med because trying to remember to take a pill twice a day was giving me anxiety.

The AD is once a day and I am just barely capable of staying on top of that. Mostly.
