I am incapable of correctly operating a daily pill-minder. For two weeks in a row I have filled up the thing with pills on Saturday, S-M-T-W-T-F-S, and then taken the pills out of the first S for my Saturday doses, and continued onward through the week, not noticing until the end of the week that I'm a day ahead every day. Last week I was just confused about it and didn't figure out what I had done; when I noticed it again just now, I had to sit and look at it for a bit before I realized finally that I should take the pills out of the second S on Saturday, because that is actually where Saturday falls in the frelling week. Realistically, though, I should just fill it on Sundays instead and avoid the whole problem. Or maybe there's a pill that can help with this sort of thing.

1. drinking electrolyte beverages and eating salted cashews is not the best way to deal with the weird cravings brought on by your blood pressure medicine. The idea is to remove the salt from your body, not to move more of it through faster and thereby break your kidneys.

2. freeze-drying does not magically make foods less allergenic. Just because a bag of freeze-dried banana snacks doesn't smell much like banana doesn't mean you should eat two of them, no matter how much you're craving potassium. *achoo* *ACHOO*
