druggies

recently for class, brett had to do a medicine cabinet raid.
he had to go through a medicine cabinet and weed out all of the expired drugs, then take pictures of how to properly dispose of the meds. something about this assignment just screamed third grade science fair, perhaps it was the homemade signs detailing step by step what he was doing in each picture? as i helped brett take pictures i felt like i was helping my niece with a project.

all of the meds you see here (which were about two thirds of all the medicine we own) were expired. pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but i guess that's to be expected since we got most of them two years ago when we first got married. seems like we've been married forever if our medicine is expiring on us! we also don't get sick much, but you always want to have stuff on hand just in case that mexican food comes back to haunt you.

the best part was when brett sat on the floor crushing up the percocet into powder so it would dissolve better when he flushed it down the toilet. i was just thinking to myself, this would look sooo wrong if someone walked in right now.

and just in case you're wondering (or if you have old meds from your honeymoon still), here's what you're supposed to do:

there are a list of meds approved by the fda (like percocet) to be flushed down the toilet.
for everything else (even left over topical creams, just squeeze them out of their tube), dump them in a container like a milk jug, add water, and preferably kitty litter also. cap it, and throw it away with the rest of your trash.

go on your own medicine cabinet raid, i bet you'll be surprised at what you find.
