I win the bonehead of the board award | Arthritis Information

So tonight I went to a school board meeting.  I knew I would be out of the house at 9:00 when I normally take my evening meds.  I have a pill organizer where each day has AM and PM and all the days hook together, so you can separate them and just take the day's pills with you.  So I did that.  And I took them at about 9:00.  Well, at about 9:30 I was falling asleep... could hardly keep my head up.  I couldn't figure out why the fatigue hit me so hard and so fast.

Then I realized... I had taken ALL of my night pills, including the two benadryls I take for sleep.  I was supposed to wait till I got home (usually around 11:00) to take those.  LOL!  The benadryl is starting to wear off now... just in time for me to go to sleep. Nice goin, bonehead!!! LOL Jay. An upside to everything, right?   Well those school board meetings can be REALLY BORING!  Thank you, Jasmine, so much for giving me the first out loud belly laugh I have managed in the last 5 days. I really needed that.  Well I'm going to try to get some sleep.  The cat is already pacing around the bed waiting for me to lay down.  Pretty soon she'll start hollering at me.  Night everyone! Night Jas!!!! [QUOTE=Cordelia]Thank you, Jasmine, so much for giving me the first out loud belly laugh I have managed in the last 5 days. I really needed that.  [/QUOTE]

Glad I could help!!!! Yep...that's why I have one of those containers.  I also have to write down how many pain pills I have.  Gosh...I think I am paranoid as well as senille!! [QUOTE=Shelly41]I am glad I am not the only one having trouble keeping track of meds...I probably would have fallen asleep right now anyway.  At least you did not SNORE...or did you?[/QUOTE]

LOL - no snoring (at least I don't think so!!!).  But usually I'm a bit outspoken when they do stupid crap, and I was remarkably quiet last night.

Yes, those pill containers are a Godsend.   And yes...school "bored" meetings are definitely the cure for insomnia!!

School board meetings here are the best show in town.  There are frequent shouting matches (and that's just at the board table!).  The audience often chimes in as well... it's almost like a Rocky Horror Picture show.  It's interactive entertainment.  It would almost be funny, if my property taxes weren't so high and the quality of education so low.
