Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 29, 2022

And once a week comes pillage night when it gets refilled.

Can’t do, too much planning!

I couldn’t miss noticing that after Su, M, and Tu, came W T F days before Sa arrived.

In addition, I use my phone…

Never used one of those ….

I have three morning, afternoon and night. It’s perfect for reminding you what day it is.

Um, it’s Tuesday. This Plugger is in trouble already.

Same stuff every day (almost), so I just get them out while the coffee is brewing.

It works for me.

I’ve seen monthly planners like this. Fortunately for me, I’m not that far gone for a weekly or monthly one.

Unfortunately, some pills today are so large it is hard to get them in the little sections. And then there are the pills that are so small it is hard to get them out and into the mouth.

And we all know someone or at least one person who has one of those for breakfast pills, lunchtime, dinnertime, and bedtime pills.

And probably someone who has to choose whether to get groceries or meds.

This is always a helpful tool for many. A lot better than many fumbling with opening those small car off multiple bottles every time the medication is necessary!

A Plugger’s year-long advent calendar. Put a chocolate in occasionally.

You’re lucky if you can get all your pills in one of these. I had to cut out some dubious “supplements” to get them all in.

The worst thing is when you open up Thursday and notice there are still pills in Tuesday and the calendar says it is Friday. :) :(

Only use one if I travel. Beats bringing the bottles.

No, this is not correct.

A true “plugger calendar” is a pill case with at least four different boxes for different times of the day.

Mine has 4 rows, morning, noon, supper, bedtime. So it is also a clock.

That’s the only way I kept up with the days of the week when we all went into quarantine.

I have way more dosets than that. Way more.

Mine have 3 compartments for each day

Back when I was in my 20s, my Aunt Lois had a large lazy susan on her kitchen table filled with pills and vitamins. The first time I saw that I thought to myself, “I’m never going to be like that where I need to take a dozen pills a day.”Now I’m in my late 60s and my pill caddy has a dozen pills in it for every day. Sheesh!

looks kind of empty

OK, but is it morning pills, or evening pills?

Well done! Too well ;-)
