I'm not feeling so hot today. If I had the nerve to, I'd just stay home, but then again why burn a perfectly good sick day just for cramps? (yup, aunt flo is visiting) So, I'm self medicating with large amounts of caffiene and these little pills from the company's first aid cabinet called menstrual tabs. They make life bearable enough as long as I don't move around a lot. When I get home I'm gonna self medicate with a bathtub sized margarita.
As I was pulling the little packet of pills out of the First Aid cabinet I paused to wonder who thought to put these little blessings in there. I have also noticed sinus pain meds, Advil, Tylenol (well generic versions anyway) and aspirin. They have a wonderful assortment of bandaids, betadyne, polysporin and even butterfly tape for wounds. Eye wash, pepto bismal, ace bandages, cough lozenges and alcohol prep pads. They even have these little wipes for cleaning your glasses which I thought was a little odd but cool.
I've always considered First Aid cabinets to be used for emergencies only, but maybe that's just me. People here (including me) kind of use it as their personal medicine cabinet away from home. However, if it were my personal First Aid kit there'd be a couple of things I'd add.
Chocolate
Chapstick
Hand Lotion
Aloe Vera gel
Sunblock
What do you have in your First Aid cabinet and what do you think should be in a kit?
