Miscellaneous holiday and post-holiday scraps

[azurelunatic]

* didn't do much for Solstice
* amusingly, both Aunt Tish and V got me the same slipper-socks for Christmas
* pear + green tea perfume was extremely relevant to Thorn's interests, even straight out of the bottle
* got my pill boxes filled for the coming quarter
- started the desk top cleanup for that a little before Just In Time
- did the morning pills first, which always gives me a little grace period to get the evening pills done the subsequent day
- ran out of my joint supplement after the first five weeks were done, but that did allow me to put the first five weeks away and start using them
- Belovedest picked up the missing pills in a very short turn-around, yay
* NYE cat pilling results: Yellface deigned to swallow, finally, after several very polite arguments in favor of spitting the pill out; Mila was too sharp to be pilled
* watched the festivities up at the Space Needle from the comfort of bed, with Belovedest and Thorn and sparkling cider (Belovedest dipped into the Faygo stash also)
* legs still awful
* did not lose the second set of black teardrop beads for the crochet projects
* made an OTC meds order from the usual supplier (Wellspring Meds) despite the sale having expired
- if your household needs industrial quantities of Imodium and you hate blister packs with a passion, consider this vendor: 200 pills in a nice little safety cap bottle, no peeling or shoving required

That's a good rec for a pill maker. Blister packs SUCK.

And these days a lot of manufacturers of that specific drug tend to aggressively limit the amount of pills per package, as well as putting them in difficult-open packs. Because apparently if you're desperate to get high, you can do so by giving yourself the mother of all constipation.

Oh thank you so much for sharing this! I also take it daily, and have struggled with the blister packs, small boxes, and expense. I will order that 200-dose bottle. I might even do the subscribe-and-save deal.

Oh, shit (haha accidental joke), I need to look into that supplier, because oh boy do we ever go through it here too.
