It's a Marvel to Me

Yesterday I was filling my pill box for the week, and I was at the island in the kitchen, when I dropped a blood pressure pill. I immediately scanned the area, and definitely wanted to find it always fearing the cats might get hold of it, and who knows if they'd eat it or what would happen if they did.
I was scanning the surrounding area and then asked my wife to come in and help me find the missing pill. It was nowhere to be seen and I was like, "Where the hell could it possibly have gone?"
I finally walked across the dining room over by the hutch where I keep a very bright flashlight, and there it was next to the hutch by the pantry door on the floor, several feet from where I dropped it.
It's always a marvel to me that when you drop something, how far it can travel. Quite remarkable.

Popping pills already? 
I’m glad I don’t have to do that. I hate taking pills. Always feel like they are stuck in my throat whenever I have to take one.

@porwest Aren’t you still young for blood pressure pills?

@lovebuglena No. 60% of people diagnosed with hypertension are diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 59.

I'm glad you found it. I always worry about cousin #2's Pomeranian.

@porwest Yes, that could be fatal to a small animal.

I had some glasses that skitered clear across the room and ended up in a cat hutch.

I hate to break a glass as the pieces can be found all over the house. I don´t know how they travel.

@porwest I have broken a glass in the kitxhen and foud one piece in the entrance door. Besides, when glasses break, the pieces grow. There´s always more broken glass pieces than the ones in the cup.

I’m of the opinion that pills have legs. I’ve found a pill that I dropped under the refrigerator, all the way across the kitchen from where I dropped it. And it’s an oblong pill, so it’s not like it “rolled” that far.

Hubby is always dropping his meds in the bathroom & either he
doesn't realize he's dropped it or just doesn't look cause when I
see 1 of his meds on the floor I let him know which 1 I found.
I don't drop mine cause I know I'd never find it if I did & there
too expensive to be losing so I make sure I count all mine.
