I ate so much this weekend I'm having a hard time taking medication

So I have one med (thyroid) I take as soon as I get up. One hour no food but coffees okay.

Them I have another med I’m supposed to take an hour after the first BUT I can’t eat for another hour OR I can eat but I have to wait two hours to take the second med AND wait another hour before eating.

Basically I’m having a hard time finding that window. I mean, I’ve eaten A LOT OF FOOD.

Here, it seems you could wake up and take the thyroid, then have breakfast an hour later. Wait the two hours and have the second breakfast and then an hour later have a (probably) late lunch.

For example, if you woke at 8 am, breakfast would be at 9 am and lunch noon. If you woke at 9 am, breakfast would be at 10 am and lunch at 1 pm.

...is by which little chamber you open on your pill organizer.

Fortunately, I am only on 3 - 2 for Afib and one antiviral.

Not sure why, but I had you pegged as a AARPer. Probably pushing 70, if not older.

I guess you just come across as so mature, underpants.

Two 65 gallon trash bags filled with “raw” leaves (not shredded). That take care of one half of my front yard. My neighbor’s leaves as I don’t have a tree in the front. He rakes exactly down the property line. Ahole.
