One of the news stories I read yesterday, someone commented Walz is your grandfather/father/uncle if he hadn't gone MAGA and you could talk to him.

If he can keep a lunch room from imploding, he can deal with republicans.

Mmm, stuff in a bowl.

Academically this meal pattern is known as "core, fringe, legume" and is the most common meal pattern worldwide!

That is so cool.

Askye, are you using alarms or medication reminders? The latter must be dismissed manually, so they would stay on your home screen all day until you take them. The trick, of course, is to keep the reminders up to date and not ignore them.

I like Walz, what little I have seen of him.

Walz kind of blindsided me, I was expecting a more prominent pick like Kelly or Shapiro. But I suppose my complete lack of awareness of him means there are no scandals or problematic policy stances waiting to hamstring us in October, and what I've read of his political positions sounds very good. I assume Harris' campaign knows what they're doing.

We found out this weekend that the ankle pain my mom was feeling wasn't arthritis or a pulled muscle, but a fracture of her tibia. She's in a walking boot and I'll be driving her and doing her grocery shopping for the next couple of months. Concerning that it happened without an obvious injury to cause it, but I'll take it over a broken hip any day.

Oh dear, healing ~ma to your mom, Matt.

Lots of healing ~ma to your Mom Matt.

The only things I've heard about Walz is be had a drunk driving arrest in the 90s which led to him getting sober and some of the men who served under him didn't like how he left the National Guard to run for office.

Because 24 years in the Guard isn't enough! They just have to find something to complain about.

Definitely going to have to tell my dad this!

This is my problem. I only take the one daily pill and if I miss it occasionally it's not terrible, but I am bad about ignoring the notification that it's time to take it. Basically, if I don't take it as soon as I wake up, I probably won't, so I set the reminder for a little after I plan to wake up, but if I wake up early or late that doesn't work out well and noticing the reminder is still there at lunch time when I am in the office and the meds are at home really does not help. Time is just generally a problem for me.

I'm glad they figured out what the fracture is, Matt.

Morning meds, I'm good. Evening meds are a little trickier as I have to take one of the pills with food for it to be effective, but who knows where I'll be eating (or when, honestly). I usually miss evening meds at least once a week. But nothing is make or break for a single miss for me, so I'm fortunate there.

My various vitamins, I keep at my desk, because some of them get gross in the not actually airtight pill containers.

I just composed an email where I avoided ending a sentence with a preposition so my meaning would be clearer and now I feel pretentious

Timelies all!

For prescription meds, I have a 7-day pill box. Every night before getting ready for bed I take my evening and morning meds out of the safe(we put Mr.S's meds and my meds in a safe so he can't get at them) and put them in the pillbox.
