Running late for an 8:30 meeting this morning, I scrambled upstairs to get Mom's morning pills laid out for her. She came out of her bathroom just as I reached the top of her stairs. I could tell she had just showered and it became immediately obvious she didn't have her hearing aid in when I tried to express I was in a hurry as she continued to want to talk at me. I grabbed her pill case, dumped the pills into the recycled plastic pudding-container-turned-pill-dispenser.
"I'm running late. Be home around lunchtime," I yelled into her right ear as I closed the gate behind me and made a bee-line to my idling car.
She mumbled something about how she could have gotten her pills herself. However, too many times we have done that and she takes her evening pills in the morning. Better that I get out her pills.
So tonight, I went over to give her her evening pills and lo and behold, I had given them to her this morning! Arrrrgh! When I confessed what I had done, she laughed, "Hey, guess I'm not the only one who gets confused."
