You might notice that I have a little widget in the upper right hand corner, which I update when I take my blood pressure medicine every morning. It’s there, because I’m HORRIBLE about remembering such things, and a few folks are kind enough to remind me if I don’t.
This post shall be the official, “Remind Shawn” post. If it’s after 8:30AM EST, and I haven’t updated that widget in the corner, please don’t hesitate to slap me around a bit in the comment section. I deserve it.
(I don’t, however, deserve the kindness of you guys reminding me — but I’m just going to be thankful, and accept it on behalf of my family. They kinda want me around for the long haul, and high blood pressure sorta negates that likelihood. Thanks again.)

Sleeping in is a good thing (I did this morning) but it’s now after 9:00 am your time, so it’s time to get up and take your medicine.

Hehe, thanks for the reminder, but I *did* have another hour and a half when you poked me. (On the west coast this week)
Seriously though, thanks for the reminder.

OK, It’s 11:11 am Central Time, which means it’s 9:11 am Pacific Time, which means it’s after 8:30 am where you are, so you need to take those yummy meds.
POKE.

I know you’re awake, I know where you’ve been playing, so either you’re slacking and haven’t taken your pill, or you’re slacking and haven’t told us.
Now stop playing and do your pill taking and/or work first.

Monday is my day off, so it does have at least ONE good thing to be said for it! And it’s before 8:30am and you’ve already taken your pills, good for you. Did you sleep all weekend and were ready to go early today? Well if you didn’t sleep I hope it was good, I missed you. I tried to send you a clever pill reminder over the weekend but the computer (at work) wouldn’t let me. Here’s wishing you a good Monday.

I know its after 8:30 because about 8:30 we dropped Gracie off to the vet for surgery on her face. Please pray she is ok and take your meds so your ok too.
Anything going on next week? We plan to be up that way, any soccer games or anything?

If I read it right, you took your pills about 16 hours ago? Do you take them the night before so you don’t forget in the morning?? Does that work? Maybe we could take the whole weeks worth on Saturday night and be good for the week!! Love MOM
