I don’t know how, but I managed to get to sleep earlier last night and wake up later this morning. I haven’t slept that long in one day since the day of my Surgery last August. Though I felt more rested, it didn’t stop my eyes from closing a few times throughout the day.

We simply enjoyed Cereal for breakfast before taking our Coffees to our Computers. I chuckled to myself when “The Weather Network” showed we were under Sunny skies, but looking out the Balcony Door, you could only see a solid Cloud as far as the eye could see.

There were a few calls today with Father’s Day Wishes which was a nice acknowledgement. Here is hoping our Male Readers were able to enjoy a Happy Father’s Day with their families.

Since we have been wearing down our food stocks so they can be replaced with fresh, I’ve been attentive at watching the Best Before Dates. We settled on having Grilled Cheese with Olive Sandwiches for lunch.

With the outside temperature reaching 81 F (27 C) it was actually cooler by keeping our Window and Balcony Door closed.

It was nice seeing a number of Blogs that we have followed for years, suddenly rise to the top of the most recently published on our Sidebar. It’s been months for some, but a couple it has been over a year. I can only say welcome back to Blogland.

In answer to why I fill our Medical Doucettes the way I do, it’s about time. Since Kathy takes 12 Prescribed Medications, all Non-Opioid, along with my single Prescription to help Bone Growth, we also share 15 Different Vitamins. Throughout my career, many of those Vitamins helped me heal from Injuries, Burns and build my Blood. I also tried cutting back on some numerous times, only to have to restart them again. Because of that, I try to schedule this chore every Six to Seven Weeks so it actually saves time. When we are travelling, the chore goes to 45 Days, which means over Six Months it is not always on a Saturday.

When I do this, I use the entire table with all the Prescriptions on one side of the table and the Vitamins on the other. Whenever I’ve finished with one, it is placed in our Travel Box to keep it Safe.

I start by filling Kathy’s PM Medications first, then swing them around to do the AM, which also includes Vitamins. A trick to save time, I mark the Vial Caps with a Sharpie Marker, some are marked E (evening), others are marked M (morning) and others are marked E M (for both). It also avoids confusion.

I started the Medication Spreadsheet when we were Fulltiming as a way of making certain we had all the Medications and Vitamins we would need for our Six Months south of the Border. By using the Spreadsheet, we could build up our supply of Vitamins through the Six Months we were at home, because it would have been impossible to do it all in One Month. The Prescribed Medications were also tracked and continue even today, because the Doctors have a habit of changing them. This way after they are sure the Meds are working I order Make Up Orders, so that all Ninety Day Supplies from the Pharmacy will come due at the same time. We also track which Medications we have reactions to, so we if we are away, we don’t have a Clinic or Doctor Prescribe them to us.

I cleaned up more of the Vegetables in the Fridge by making Bacon/Veggie Wraps for supper.

We later watched “Iron Man” this evening.

I’m late getting to bed and have to be up early in the morning. Here’s hoping I can sleep.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment, unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion, or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
