Now I have to hide my meds grrrrrrrrrrrr
 
As I said in another post, I had a good day yesterday.
Dirk gave me some money to do what I wanted. To get me out of house and have some fun,or if I needed money for the dentist, if all went well at the Dentist and it did.

After the dentist, I went to this store ROSS where everything is discounted, but all brand names.
I bought a pretty white sun dress, a shirt, and a bathing suit for him. He really likes it a lot.

I had bought him one and he had had one, and some T-shirts for work and a dress shirt a week or so ago. But, as much as we go to the pool, he really needs to have a few bathing suits.

Then I went for a tanning session, since I haven't been able to keep up my tan, due to being ill with the migraines/teeth.

Then we met at this local place for a cocktail, Dirk gets out of work at 2pm, he goes in for 5am. Then back to my house and went to the pool. It wasn't too hot and it was just the 2 of us.

Well came back home and he cooked chicken on the grill. I made her plate up and she said I don't want to eat, I just ate some cherry pie. That was another slap in the face, but she bit her nose to spite her face or whatever that saying is.

I went into my bedroom - my door was open, which is strange because when I go out I always close it, so the dogs don't get into anything.

I found my mom's glass's on my vanity. I asked her what she was doing, she said she took a oxycodone. Well, I got angry, I told she can't be just taking my meds, she said she needed one for pain. I said do you know what could happen with all the meds you take, she said so what if I die. Also, she was dressed, like she was going out.

All in all, she assumed I would be right back from the dentist, and I guess planned to go out, without asking me or telling me her plans. So, she got pissy and decided to take whatever she did take, I will never know.

This isn't the first time I caught her, once I did red handed when I walked in.

So, now I have to take all my meds out of the medicine cabinet in my bathroom/vanity medicine cabinet and hide them.

I need this like a hole in the head. She didn't say much, cause Dirk was here, and she knew I was right.

Just a perfect ending to a wonderful day, she seems to always put a stick in me, when she thinks or knows I am having a good day,, which she knew when we walked in then went to the pool for a bit. I even called her from my cell and said I wouldn't be home right after the dentist, I was meeting Dirk and so on. At 48 I still feel I need to check in. God help me.

Had to vent this. She never knows what day it is, and here she is taking my meds. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr She causes stress, she is so toxic for me.

Hugs, Nikko

How awful.
Could you put a lock on your door? Would they allow that?
So glad that you have Dirk in your life!

You need to get a security lock box for your medicines.

And then have them in there at all times.

I would be afraid that she would start getting into your regular medicines.

I have not spoken or saw her all day. She has retreated to her room, I don't know what her problem is. I know she is okay, because I have heard her up and now the light is on in her room and the TV.

I am in no mood to go in and say anything. I just can't handle it right now.

Just me venting again...........Nikko

Yup...time for the ol' lock box everyone has. I would get the one with the combination...that way you don't have to worry about keys and one going for a walk.
Personally I would be afraid to take an oxy. But then again she is a horse of a different color.:D

security lock box
 
Hi everyone,

I had a great security lock box for my meds but it broke.

I've looked online for awhile and can't find one that

has a code that you put in (not one with a key)

One that is easy to handle (being kind of light weight I mean) would be great.

Does anyone have an idea where to find one?

Thanks

OC girl, if you want a strong one for documents and papers to be protected, I have one similar to this I bought at Kmart.
It was about 35 lbs if I remember, so I did carry it was tough, But it has a combo and key...It defeats the purposw if you set the combe on a dial one as I did and then have the key on a ring available.

I would avoid the key one as you do not mention OCgirl, they pry open and pick open real easy...also walk off real easy.
Some small models come with a template to bolt to the floor.

The best ones for out of site to "out side family and guest" are the plain site ones, also, the heavy duty safe with combination lock and key...

For those house guest and family issues as I had to hide from a nephew that would continually break in, and his father...(They Would love to find a bottle of percocette of valium around...even in a sock drawer, or cosmetic bag.)
I did have really good results. even forgetting myself, hidden in a suitcase in closets :D do you know how many zippers and slots they have in a great bag :rolleyes: Good luck,
Di

This one is at D!ck's Sporting Goods.

I found good buys at K-Mart and Sams Club.

But if you want to conceal and ease of use try a product like this hidden in plain site....

Most are ADA compliant


New models from Alarmlock (weatherproof!), Securitron, Mas-Hamilton, Unican, Locknetics and Schlage



These are stand-alone, battery operated locks . (The Kaba Mas locks are unique and use a self-generating system and do not need batteries). If the batteries fail, there is a key bypass just in case. Batteries generally last about 2 years. Your combination can be set easily by you at any time, right on the lock. These locks are real labor and money savers compared to the systems that aren't stand-alone. Consider the following: using a stand-alone means less labor because there is no wiring, no drilling (except a small amount of door modification), no mortising out for an electric strike on the frame and no need to purchase anything else. Some models like the Trilogy can even be hard wired in, which allows you to use the keypad of the unit on the outside and at the same time buzz someone in from a remote location from the inside! These locks require a 2 1/8 inch main hole and in addition also require 3 or 4 smaller holes. The door should be 1 3/4 inches in thickness. The Trilogy series (not the mortise) can me used on thinner 1 3/8th inch doors with special adaptor plates. They are an option on the bottom of the Trilogy page. Handing is usually changeable.

MOST OF THESE LOCKS NORMALLY COME WITH THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION: Always locked on the outside and always unlocked from the inside. When the door closes it also locks. The less expensive sets for under $200 lock on both sides or open on both sides. This is the main reason they are not the correct locks for fire exit doors.

great advice from an expert

I am able to put mine up HIGH in my closet, there is no way my mom could get to them. She wouldn't even think of a chair to get on because of her balance issues.

I really should have a lock box though. Have to check out some stores and some web sites.

Nikko:hug:
