Moments in Weirdness with Walmart Pharmacy

 I got a text reminder on my walk this morning for my mom's test strips.  Ok, where's the blood pressure pills?  I really didn't want to talk to anyone at the pharmacy but I thought I got to find out if she's going to get them today. I was able to get through without talking to anyone.  The automated system said she would have the blood pressure pills and the diabetes pills after 1 on the 19th.  And then it said she'd get the anxiety pills.  She doesn't take anxiety stuff.  She should after dealing with this but that wasn't one of her prescriptions.  It was one of my prescriptions. Funny thing is, that prescription got filled last week.  I had told my new provider I had enough of the anxiety stuff but when I did need to do a refill, could the dosage be lower?  She offered to maybe put it through after the 18th.  I was surprised when I got a text message last week that it was partially ready.  I thought oh.  Ok.  I did...

Late Start

 I didn't get up until almost 7.  I was up for a bit so I guess I was making up for lost sleep. I hope the guys don't hear Diana Ross playing when I got woke up by Alexa.  I have had slept through some of it sometimes.  The music is good and I just want to relax.  Sometimes to the point of going back to sleep.  Oh well. I was able to drop my check off at the post office and hand it to someone.  Considering the post office never delivered my mom's new Medicare card months ago, I'm even more adamant that our neighborhood post office just sucks.  I think I saw the mail truck around 6 last night. I wasn't going to go check our mail in the dark.  There are so many stories I can tell of the employees who have worked there and you just felt like they were going to drop your eBay package in the garbage can.  I saw one of the guys who worked there at the grocery store one day. I seriously wanted to run the back of his feet over with my cart....

Heading out soon

 Blood work?  Check.  Cheese run?  Check.  Red lights?  Check. My mom went for her blood work.  She had to do the do it yourself check in. I didn't realize she was standing at the counter looking pissed after I walked in. I had parked the car across the street after I dropped her off.  I wish someone would have helped her with that.  Luckily, she was just started and I helped her through it.  The print wasn't bright so how can anyone see?  It wasn't that busy.   She was worried about the medication mix up and well, I'm worried too.  I said we can message the doctor's office.  I really am inclined to think someone at the pharmacy messed up and didn't give her that third bottle.  I know her doctor is on vacation but maybe someone can help.  She got her supplements that help with diabetes but she worried it would mess with her other meds. This is a day where I wish there was someone I could talk to about t...

Switching it up for a Saturday

 We're supposed to be going to get blood work this morning for my mom but guess who's sleeping?  I'll wake her up. I found out her boyfriend John Mulaney will be hosting SNL so that might prompt her to move. Her pill situation is a mess. I did get two of her pills refilled.  I kept calling the doctor's office and Walmart pharmacy.  I thought I'll go get them if they're ready.  No problem.  Happy to get this done.  I found out that she wouldn't be able to get them until certain dates because of insurance. What the absolute . . . . ?  Are you kidding?  I asked my mom about it and asked if maybe a pill bottle got mixed up.  She has a couple of sets of prescriptions that are start off the same - one is Met, the other is Lo so I thought, maybe it's there and we didn't see it.  We looked and looked around.  I even looked to see if maybe one of the bottles got left behind in the car.  Nope.  My mom did say that her doctor ha...

Does Anything work today?

 Yeah. I was affected by the outage yesterday.  I was able to do some work but not as much as I would have liked. I was also plagued by a stuck key.  The letter "t" was my enemy.  I thought maybe it was the humidity.  I used the compressed air the other night because my 6 was sticking.  The 6 worked.  The "t" did not. I didn't want to get a new laptop because there's cat hair and probably cheez it dust stuck underneath it.  Don't judge me.  I have issues. I thought maybe IT could have helped, but they didn't have any solutions.  Someone told me about plugging another keyboard in and that helped.  It was annoying to flip back and forth but it helped. I used the compressed air and that seemed to help with the "t" situation.  Still kind of iffy situation but at least I have a back up.  And compressed air. I ordered some of these swabs you can use to get dust out from under the keys so maybe that will help.  The vaper cal...

Minty Fresh

 So my toothpaste comes in a different bottle.  Hello toothpaste comes in a bottle that could be mistaken for skin care.  How do I know?  Well.  My face smells minty fresh.  Damn it.  I can't believe I did that. I was thinking today I'm someone that needs to go touch grass or get outdoors more.  Too much time looking, scrolling and getting annoyed or bummed out.  Now I really know I need to go to a store and interact with another human.  Sigh.   Some good came out of the day. I got a call from the fat doctor.  They're not fat.  Me?  Well, we know that story.  I won't go until early February and they said if something comes up before then, they'll call me.  It's fine. I would have liked to have gotten started before the holidays but it's ok.  It's something to look forward to and maybe I can lose a pound or two.  I know it won't be ten or twenty. I realize weight loss drugs might be out of my p...

Ready to Escape Wednesday

 The one that makes my eye twitch got my blood pressure up.  I made a mistake.  It was how I got questioned that irritated me.  It was a how nice of  you to get this or that right.  With all the things that I'm expected to do every day, I am going to make a mistake.  I don't want to make a mistake, but when you overload on someone?  It's going to happen.  Sorry, not sorry.   I'm a little aggravated by some of the diva moves because now I have to correct them or being asked.  She gets to frolic in a different country.  I got to find out I need compression socks.  How does this make sense?  I do like my pink ones with a purple stripe.  Kind of cool.   I heard from the vaper yesterday. She told me about her career ambitions and I said always aim higher if that's what she wants.  I'm not sure how I feel about moving on.  If she gets it, I'll probably feel more alone. I don't have too many peo...
