I used to have all these very simple pill minders, but it seems they don't make them any more, or at least stores don't sell them, so I have more complicated ones that are more finicky. Things keep getting more complicated but not better.
I have a pill box (because sometimes I have multiple containers of OTC stuff which are bulky) the size of a shoe box, plus a day/night minder, plus an accessory minder for PRN stuff like Tylenol.
My Saturday night routine: first I print out the Sunday NYT Crossword (which is available at 6pm on Saturday) then I stream something I've seen before, and sort the next week's pills. This is what happens when you get old. When you're young, Saturday night is about going out and having a good time. When you're old, it's about sorting pills.
There was a memoir about a pill minder in last year's Pushcart, it was very touching, balancing caretaking and independence of a teenager.
I’m with you, Barb! I hate that part of my weekend (Saturday night) when I have to sort my stupid (but life-saving) pills! Very cool 3D box your brother made👍
Those look like very nice pill containers, even though filling them is so tedious.
So tedious!
Pretty rainbow container!

Tha actually sounds similar to our Saturday nights! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Rob! It’s such a pain!
