Good morning, friends.
It is late in the morning but I an feeling happy and VERY bright.
Oscar has given me some extra meds and has changed me others and for some days I lived in a state of confusion not knowing what I was taking and if I would get poisoned by all the junk I take for health.
Until today, my lonely gray cell lit up and I decided to write what I needed in the morning and what I needed at night and put it over the pill box fastened with cello tape. Briliant!!!
I confess that I don´t much trust the pills but at least I won´t die by taking what I shouldn´t. I also know which meds are more important and which are just something that doctors prescribe just in case.
Oscar found that I had high blood pressure and prescribed a pill. But I haven´t yet learned the name of it so that the written thing in the pill box is perfect. In a while I´ll write in the boxes what the pill are for. With that, I´ll be ready for my 80s.
The last thing I´ll have to do for my health is to decide how to follow my father´s prescription for HBP. He was a biochemist so he knew.
He took a small glass of Scotch every evening "for health reasons".
I´m now wondering if I should drink Scotch or go against my principles and buy Jack Daniels that I like better.
As you see, I´m doing my chores little by little. What are you doing today?

My mind is still sharp but not as much as it was. People used to say that I was very intelligent (exceptionally gifhed). I always thought that my brightness then helped me choose a wonderful husband. The only very wrong thing he did was to die very young.

@marguicha - I think it's a gift to have a sharp mind in our old years. My husband was so intelligent, I cannot believe he developed dementia. I fear it's genetic and there is nothing we can do. No one ever had dementia in my family, but the Mom of my husband had dementia.

I have a list of all my prescriptions in my phone along with what doctor prescribed them and what they were prescribed for. Since our car broke down late in the year last year and we couldn't get to all the doctors, my regular doctor started prescribing the pills that the other doctors I couldn't reach had given me.
I have bottles lined up on my bookcase that I take every morning. Other bottles are lined up on my dresser that I take every evening. That works well for me.
I woke up a little while ago and will go back to sleep when I get tired again. Almost nobody is on myLot during the night now.

Mylot has been slow lately. Last month I earned a bit more than a dollar only. I don´t care for the money here but ir is a way of measuring activity.

Not sure it would matter which one you drink

@wolfgirl569 Of course. But every piece of news from the US I read lately gives me a heartache. I have lived in the US and I have many friends from the US. My first baby´s second name is after my best friend, an American.

@marguicha I understand that. But you can enjoy what you already have until it's gone

Sunday my best friend and I went to a tattoo parlor to get our ears pierced. I wanted a second hole in both ears and she wanted to get her third hole re-pierced.

I'm glad you are marking the pills on your pill box. I have a pill box but also have a list of medications that shows what I take, what it's for, etc. I give these to the doctors that I see. It also includes supplements such as vitamins. Today cousin #2 comes over to do her usual. I must replace her ASAP as she is going to Florida in December.

I think that I´ll call Oscar about the pills. I wonder if I need so many pills.

That's good have your father helping you with that expertise. In America they prescribe everything for anything so they can make that money. Even my brother had to tell my sister one time, dude, you should not have a whole pharmacy in a box. To her credit she threw whole box away.
We just watching football and annoying people.. The year end is quickly approaching and some of us already counting the days, Only three more years of Trump if our loyal servants follow the constitution.

I´m lucky to have doctors in the family. And scientists too. Three years seems like a century sometimes.

Being sad at the long long dark days and kind of depressed about another year coming to an end, I would say go with Jack Daniels,
