I think being away from home makes me vulnerable to mistakes.

I always fill two weeks worth of pill boxes. For one week, I have separate (unattached) AM and PM boxes. For a second week, the AM and PM cubbies are attached (two rows). I brought the latter with me. I clearly didn't pay well enough attention to the row I took from. Like you, I normally have a routine that works well.
