So I have been cleaning this house for nearly a week. I’m still not done. This house has been very lived in for the last 4 years. Anyway, the topic of the day is my medicine cabinet. I know people usually keep these things in the bathroom but ours has been in the kitchen right above the stove. We have accumulated more drugs in this cabinet than should be allowed by any one family. Good gosh it is taking for ever to clean out. It wouldn’t be so hard if I could just chuck everything into the trash but I am thinkin this wouldn’t be a good idea. So I set out on my task of dumping the stuff down the sink or rather the garbage disposal.
some of the things in my medicine cabinet that I have thrown away include: old anitbiotics- a very lovely assortment, old caugh syrup, old eye drops, old nose drops, old stomach medicine….I have no idea why some of this stuff is even around….old bandaids, old thermomenters—digital, not the mercury kind…..suntan lotion, lighter fluid, an old first aid kit-it was empty….old muscle relaxers, old pain meds-can’t remember the names…a spoon, old store receipts…and the list could go on and on,.
some of the things I saved…blood pressure cuff, Morgan’s inhalers- I thought this might be important…a bottle of tylenol and a bottle of motrin.

I went through my medicine cabinet not long ago and found pills in there from 1986!! Threw out quite a lot of stuff away since it was all expired…I guess it had been a while since I’d done a clean up in there! lol
I don’t throw meds in the trash either. They go down the toilet.
