I took a couple of days to see a friend

My friend lives about 2 hours away but at this point she and I are kind of a last of a group. So, I take oral medication for pain. And not just pills, some of them in pill form have corn starch in them, so I take them in liquid form. (I'm sure some of you are tired of hearing about corn... but there we are.) And these are supposed to be medications that help. Probably would help more if I haven't been on them so long. Anyway... I spent 2 nights at my friend's place. She had a small room that had probably been expected to be either a baby's room or a small office - I suspect the latter since it is as far away as a bedroom can get on the first floor. In October of last year I bought a cheap bed and mattress and now I have a bed in there. So, I take this medicine 3 times a day. To try and get this to maintain I have alarms set for every 8 hours. The one I really had to decide on, was staying up to midnight and taking the morning medicine at 8 a.m. or taking the night medicine at 10 and 6 a.m. for the next dose. I chose the latter. While at my friend's, this time, I decided to just take the morning med to bed with me, not IN bed, but reachable. And, this morning, my 6 a.m. alarm goes off and I'm groping for the little bottle and it isn't there. I finally woke up enough to turn the flashlight on my phone and... no medicine. I found it in bed with me. I had taken this stuff in my sleep! I had been known to walk in my sleep, taking medicine... that's a whole new level of... crazy. And how was your weekend?
