Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Thursday, June 30, 2005

Those seven-day pillboxes are pretty handy for remembering to take your meds -- when you take your pill for the day, leave that day's box open to show you have indeed taken it that day. Filling them, however, can be somewhat challenging; trying to the pill under the lid of the boxes is difficult for those of us with larger fingers.

The trick is to flip it over on its back. That way, instead of the covers pointing up at a forty-five degfree angle and you having to get the pill in underneath, horizontally, without dropping it, the opening is suddenly facing upward and all you have to do is drop the pill in. It hits the lid, slides down, and sits, waiting to be tipped into the bottom of the pillbox. After dropping all the pills in, just tip it forward and close all the covers.

By the way, you do know you only have to fill a seven-day pillbox every eight days, right?

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
