MO MORE!!! In light of recent events I have decided to organize all of that where I can actually FIND what I need when I need it! Also I wanted a place for Louis Dean's meds as well as mine WITH a list of what and when to take them. I LOVE those weekly boxes you can just fill and be done!
SOOOOOO......I took it ALL out and dumped it on the dresser in the guest bedroom. I was using two drawers in there for the RX meds and various things. NOW it is ALL organized into three drawers!
I ended up throwing away a white trash bag FULL of totally expired things! Some dated back to 1995!
And longer! I was amazed at the stuff I found. I am really bad about taking things OUT of the packaging.
There were many meds I had no idea what they were for. Probably allergy symptoms but I threw them out just to be on the safe side.
The very OLDEST item I found was a tube of ointment prescribed for me by a dermatologist
and dated 5-21-74!!!!!!!
Then there is the tube of ointment dated 5-28-87
for diaper rash.......when Amber was a baby!
Can you tell I KEEP EVERYTHING???
Now that all my medicines are all organized and tidy I am moving along to other areas to purge and clean!
I must tell you though......I did KEEP these two small tubes. I could not bear to toss them out!
So if you just suspected before.... now you know.....
I am a sentimental pack rat!!

Wow! you sure are, what in the world are you going to do with a out of date tube of diaper rash cream! Just hold on to the picture you took of it. This will make a little more room for the NYC lipstick we like! (o:
From one pack rat to another, I so understand! I just need motivation to get at it and purge like you did, way to go Linda!

Linda I just saw on Dr. Oz yesterday ( I think) the proper way to get rid of old meds so nobody takes them... put used coffee grounds in a plastic bag, put the capsuls in and add a bit of water... they dissolve into something that looks so yuck no junkie would try to take them. LOL I thought it was pretty kewl idea. anyway it was an FYI moment for me. Nita had a good idea about keeping the photo of the cream... no temptation to use it on Ambers baby when ever that day arrives. LOL Hugs
CONGRATULATIONS!!! This was not easy, for a *sentimental packrat* to do! And I am very proud of you!
But see! Didn't it feel wonnnnnnnnnderful, after you had done it? Didn't it? Didn't it? Didn't it? :-))))))
When you lose motivation to do more culling, please remember the wonnnnnnnnnnnderful feeling of after it's done. :-)

LOL. 1974. I love it. You are too funny. I guess I better go thru some of our meds.
