It's supposed to be a glorious day, weather-wise

Sunny, 62 degrees at present but supposed to climb to 80. This morning, in the hour I've been up, I have:
  1. Filled up my medicine reminder box
  2. Tweaked the application on my phone that reminds me to take my medicine to update new medication and which doctors prescribe them
  3. Taken all my meds
  4. Tested my blood sugar
  5. Weighed myself--eek!
  6. Put various things into S Health, the application that keeps track of my steps, food, exercise, etc.
  7. Eaten some yoghurt and blackberries for breakfast
  8. Drunk a full glass of water
  9. Perused the news
I am now ready to go take a shower, get dressed, feed the fish, and go out into the bright sunshiny day. I'm going to take the laptop over to my friends' house in case there's any time to work on game notes. The grocery run is the only thing I think that's on the agenda right now otherwise, and maybe catching up on the 'Salem' episode from last week if they haven't watched it already. I may go on a walk with A, as he's offered to go with me. We'll see. I'll wear my sandals but bring my walking shoes, too. I'll wait till tomorrow to do laundry over there.

Okay, time to get ready!

Have a smartphone? Need to remember when to take your meds?

Check out www.needymeds.org. It links to coupons for various pharmaceuticals, as well as the assistance programmes for each drug, but it also has a free application for iOS and Android that will remind you when to take each medication if needed, among other things. You can keep a medication list, list of prescribers, pharmacy info, etc., for free. You can buy the full app for other functions, too, but the reminder works on the free one. I'm a little bad about taking my Lantus, and my insurance company was suggesting I take a look at the website to save money on my prescriptions, and I stumbled upon the application. It's working pretty well for me.
