Calendar: Local and Hidden?

I would like for my iMac (Mavericks) to pop up a reminder for me each day when I need to take some medicine.

In theory, Calendar should do this fine. It's "event alert/snooze cancel" boxes would be perfect.

The problem: my Calendar is connected to iCloud. I don't need the alert to show up on my various iOS devices and laptop.

Additionally: I'd like to hide the event so every day doesn't show it in Week/Month view. Don't really need the screen clutter.

Is there a way to do this in Calendar?

Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?

(I guess I could write up an applescript that could pop an alert each day at the right time...I think I can get a basic Notification center message, though the snooze type would be best)

Ok..I got it figured out!

Go into Calendar > Preferences and then on the Account Tab, select iCloud, uncheck "Enable This Account". (picture 1)

Set up the new Calendar, and then re-enable the iCloud account.

Then, in the Calendar side panel, uncheck the "show" box, to hide the entries. (picture 2)
