Oh jeeze!! I would surely lose my fourteen little containers if they didn't have a home: a cool metal lunch box.

All those hip ones nowdays that they have at every retro store with Superman or Rosie the Riveter on em...............mine has a picture of Shiva and Hanuman and other Hindu deities on it.

I take the two containers out for each day to put in my purse or put by the water jug to remember to take them.

Every night the empty containers go back into the lunch box and the next day's containers come out.

Once a week I fill up the little containers and then have a lunch pail full of my meds to take........................the rx bottles and whatnot are kept in another lunch box. So people just think I collect lunch pails when they see them on my bookshelf entering my room.

When traveling I put the original bottles in the box and stack the empty containers and lids in there too so that I can dole out my meds once I reach my destination...........otherwise if I take my pills straight from the rx bottles I'm guaranteed to mess up a dose. The airport security was perplexed by my box o' drugs last time I flew but when asked as soon as I said it was a lunch box with my rx meds they zipped it through the x-ray and on I went to the gate. I guess a metal box in the center of a carry one with lots of little containers in it looks strange.

Or maybe it was me that was looking strange as I did have the flu after all................dunno

How great it is that we all have so many ways of making this work for each of us. Hopefully Dex will be inspired by an idea offered up and create a system that works for him............I can only hope!!
