Thyroid meds (thankful they exist) are a pain in the brain.

Like, did my sip of coffee with milk negate taking them? I should probably start setting them by my bed and not in the kitchen. Then I can start taking them at 4 a.m. when I am freaking awake af.

But yeah, walking away from a prescription dose because I'm hungry and don't want to wait an hour to eat is not a good practice. And skipping--or forgetting--is a good habit to get out of.

I'm just going to say, it's really easy to set your phone up to remind you.

I have a reminder to take out the garbage cans on Sunday night.

My entire life is calendared. I've had a bad memory my entire life so computer scheduling was the best thing ever. Taking pills, for me and the animals, stretching so I don't get stiff working at my desk all day, watering plants, birthdays, work routine tasks, every single thing in life is in my calendar, often with both email and pop-up reminders. They don't get deleted from my email until I do them. If I don't put something into the calendar immediately it will be gone. Brain like sieve.

Does it play "Yakety Yak"?

I would forget so much stuff without phone reminders.

More of a new age marimba. Though I guess you could play Yakety Sax on marimba. But then it would need to be retitled Mumbly Marimba. I may be overthinking this.

Argh. I hate walking into Monday morning and it’s a work shitstorm. I mean, luckily not one I caused but still one I have to handle the consequences of, so….Joy.

That's an excellent idea

I have too many reminders on my phone, possibly. I have certainly gotten too comfortable ignoring notifications and reminders.

Okay, we're confirmed for our infusion on this Friday, and I have booked our hotel and flight.

We're flying First Class. I don't know if they'll reimburse us for the full First Class amount, but I'll happily take the Economy Class reimbursement.

Just trying to find ways to make the travel less onerous.

Our hotel is directly across the street which is good because the infusion starts at 8:15 and will run for 10 hours. The first two times down JZ will have extended time at the hospital as the trial wants to measure the level of meds in her bloodstream over time.

After those first two trips, we can just do regular infusions (which take about 4 hours).

ION, we're headed to the Apple store to buy me a new laptop, since we're going to be on the road for the next couple years.

Are you signed up for the relevant airline/hotel/transportation rewards programs?
