my pills (9:30) but for the past 3 days i
have had to take them around 7 or 7:30. am

Yeah- even if you took them 2 to 2 1/2
hours late you would be fine.
Don't make a habit of it, but it won't
hurt you. Maybe switch to a more
convenient time?

Yeah. If you want to switch to an earlier
time, you can do it whenever, just start
taking them earlier. If you want to switch
to a later time, if it's just a few hours,
just do it. But if it will be drastically
different, I'd do it a few hours at a
time.
