Because I'm Brilliant Like That.

I forgot to take my antibiotic with dinner last night.

I'm brilliant like that.

No excuse.  The bottle was sitting right in front of me.  Just like this morning--I'm just now realizing I forgot it again.

Pauses typing to take the stupid pill...Resumes typing. 

Last night, when I finally remembered, it was late.   I needed food with it but didn't want anything heavy, so I reached over to my treat stash and grabbed a couple thumbnail-sized crackers and popped them in my mouth.

They were crunchy but tasted a tad bit stale.

Because I'm brilliant, I grabbed a couple more. 

It was a twofold decision--taste test for freshness and ensure enough food was in my tummy to avoid tummy tear-up with the introduction of the long overdue antibiotic.

Yep. Stale.

I quickly took my pill and washed everything down with some DDP (Diet Dr Pepper).

Good thing I did.

I decided to check the expiration date. Nope. Still good for another 13 months.

So I turned the bag over to see if it was an off brand. Store brands are usually made by the same people in the same factory--they just have different labels. I like store brands.  I'm not so sure of the quality of off-brands and knockoffs. They often taste a little "off" to me.

Nope. Not to worry.  Nationally recognized name brand.

As I started hacking like I was about to toss up a hairball, then and only then,  my brain kicked in...the crackers were Moggy's.

I had taken my pill with, not one--but two,  small servings of catnip treats.  Even after thinking the first serving was a tad bit off. 

Because I'm...meow...brilliant like that!
