Sunday morning (sometimes Saturday) is when I usually organize my medications for the week (okay, I usually work a week ahead).
And since I’m going out of town soon, I’m going ahead and preparing today. Following my WWSHD plan (What would Scott Hanselman do), and the fact I am going to be gone for a week, I’m packing one small bag of medical supplies. That includes extra meters, emergency supplies and the like. I also put my gym clothing, night clothing, and swimsuit in that bag, leaving a large bag with my actual wardrobe.
It’s easier to start out with unopened boxes, so I do that as much as possible, though I stick to taking just one back each of needles.
I also plan for an extra day of medication.
One of things I am adamant about is that I don’t ever run low on meds, and I always have at least a full week of meds on hand. I really end up with at least two weeks, but that’s great, because sometimes it takes Medco (now Express Scripts) that long to get me medication.
I also don’t actually pack everything but put it in a pile, so I can see if I am missing anything. And it includes things like extra contacts, back up glasses (since I forgot mine the last trip),etc. Anything that will be a PITA is I don’t have and even harder to replace.
