I was perfectly on time this morning when I woke up (which is rare) and everything was going smoothly until my routine was interrupted due to a phone call from my Mom and I forgot to take my meds before work.

I didn’t realize I did until about an hour into my shift and something felt off. I had doubts as I was getting ready for work but my doc said to never take extra. (Edit: and remembering what it was like going from 40mg to 60mg I definitely didn’t want to accidentally take 2)

I was a bit too scattered (best way to describe it) and even my coworker noticed I was a lot more talkative than usual.

And then it hit me, I didn’t remember taking my meds in the morning and saying the date.

By 4 hours into my shift my stomach felt off, and by the 9th hour I had a headache creeping in.

Unfortunately I got home within 12 hours (more like 10) of when I normally take my meds, so I’ve got to wait.

On the plus side I bought a pill organizer today so it’ll be easier to know if I missed my dose as I will be able to see if I did or not pretty easy.

    I started with Home Assistant a while ago.

    I have a door sensor on the front door and a Button to set a boolean, when I took the meds.

    If i go out the door at a certain timespan (getting to Work) I immediately get a loud and annoying notification on my Phone.

    Works perfectly, and I can’t live without it.

    I also have my alarm turning on a light, which helps wonders for getting up in the morning.

    And a alarm, if I left a window open because I’m forgetting about that regularly.
