Had internet issues so the night was long as no alarms, cams. As in maybe 3 hours of sleep all night as I was woken with each creak, crack of this old house thinking my brother was heading out the door. He is a wanderer. Which is ... a problem with his 5 year old mind in a 72 year old body that is on oxygen 24/7
So when he is looking at the small cup of meds he is to take and ask me "What is the blue pill for?" I paused.
My sister was a person who could tell you all his meds off the top of her head. How often and if pushed probable the dose size. Me? I couldn't tell you my own, much less his.
I have a list. Checked by his Dr. and I fill a month of weekly pill boxes.
Lack of sleep has me grumpy.
So I imagine me saying in a creepy voice from one of my favorite movies " It take the blue pill, or it gets the hose"
"The blue pill? Oh it keeps me from flipping out on you. Best take it"
Take the cup, look at the pill... "Oh that is the pill that will kill you, buts its cool as it dissolves the poison in your body so I don't get caught. Why its blue."
"Blue one is not the pink one, or yellow one, or red one, or orange one... "
"Blue? It was green when I put it in there! The Aliens have been here..."
Or just take it myself, tell him to ask me again in about a hour- I'll tell him what it does.
*Sigh* But he would not get my smart ass remarks so I just say off top my head "Its for you belly issues." And he takes it.
Yeah I wasn't going to go back into his medicine box, check his bottles to find the blue one, look it up. Im here to keep him safe and alive. I have to remember that some days... Safe and alive. Safe and alive. With the blue pill.

Hahaha! I have a blue pill, a red bill, a white, and a capsule of something a bit darker than off white. My blue one is for headaches or pain. Actually, none of them are a requirement, but they can make me feel better. Someone keeps whispering that they are placebos... And that's another story.
