Vitamins and fire

March 3, 2024 by Lauren 2 Comments

I finished a bottle of vitamins! Granted, they were children’s chewable vitamins so it wasn’t like I was choking them down, but I’d often forget. I think this bottle has been around a looooong time.

I was happy because that meant I could buy another bottle! But then…… I noticed that I still had another bottle of boring, grown-up vitamins.

Ugh. Who wants to take those? However, I am trying to not be so wasteful, so I counted them out to see how long it would take to finish them.

As it turns out, if I take one a day I should be finished by the beginning of May. I’d need some sort of motivation, though, so I wrote this on the bottle:

“If you finish these by June, you can buy a wood stove.”

See? I even gave myself enough grace to skip a bunch of days, and since I obsess about tiny wood stoves, this is the carrot on the stick I need to actually do something about it!

It’s been working pretty well. Having the bottle right by my coffee cups is a good reminder, except for the mornings when I unload the dishwasher and just grab a mug from there. Eh, nobody’s perfect.

As it turns out, the wood stove might not be necessary……… (that’s tomorrow’s story)

    There are chewable adult vitamins that you can get after you finish these.

    I thought this was going to be a post about how flammable vitamins are. I’m mildly disappointed.
