Hmm.

Left hip not great today. I think I did something to it in the bath. Le sigh.

All my medications and some of my vitamins/supplements come in blister packs. This is starting to really bug me. I know they are more convenient for carrying around in coat pockets and so on, and I am grateful for that, but I can't help feeling upset about the waste created by the blister packs. I wonder if I can grill them and make them turn pretty colours or something; because they are metal and plastic and stuff and thing I can't put them in the ordinary recycling.

I know this is just a small thing, but it's a small thing that affects many, many people.

May re-post this to several hippie communities if I don't get enough ideas here. No time now.

Some drugs here also come in bottles, but increasingly the trend is towards blister packs. The idea is that its much harder to accidentally overdose.

It's also a lot easier for me to remember to take the damn things.

I understand the reasoning behind blister packs, I just wish I had some way to mitigate the packaging waste - other than getting completely healthy and not needing to take any tablets evar, but that's a long way off.
