Prescriptions OMG
Woke up, got ready for work and off to see my next door neighbors so I could vote. How convenient is that. My polling place just happened to be in the garage next door. I leave for work aroun 6:50am and I walked right in. They said "the polls dont officially open till 7am but you can start filling out your ballot now". I was done by 7:05 and still had time to catch my normal train. Good Good day so far.
Well all good things come to an end. Today was my first trip to the pharmacy and the first time using my prescription benefit. All I can say is OMG. Im not sure wheather to be pissed at the doctor for prescribing the newest antibiotic or the pharmacutical company for their outrageous prices. 2 prescriptions, top tier, copay was $70. Anyway, apparently there was no generic forms for these. The antibiotic is called Zythromax and is only 6 pills. You take 2 the first day together, and then 1 each additional day for the next 4. Can I say, it is kicking my ass. Thank god I dont opporate heavy machinery.
The second one is called clarinex which I believe is an allergy medication. This was for the rash or any allergies that I may have come into contact being in such an unusual climate with such unusual substances. small little pills that dont do much of anything or perhaps they do and I just havent realized it over the other stuff.
So thats about it for my sickness. Good news today, I got my requested time off which means I have this Monday and Tuesday coming up off and I will get a little more time with Josh since he is on break. Ill get to leave early on the 17th and have off till the 23rd. That was good news. Getting home wasnt from work today, on the other hand wasnt. lol
I had called the guy about the furnace this morning and told the owner that no one showed up last night. He said he would have someone here between 5 and 5:30. Once bitten, twice shy, I said ok. Well at 5:45 the guy shows up. He relit the pilot light and discovered the thermostat was shot. Well you would imagine someone who is experienced with heating and furnaces would stock a thermostat in their truck. Not this moron, oh no... He doesnt have one and its now too late to go and get one. So I get two options for tonight.
No heat or heat by jimmy rig. The jimmy rig option (which I chose), consists of two wires hanging out of my wall which when connected turn the furnace on. When disconnected turn the furnace off. Pretty simple but in my opinion highly dangerous. Needless to say, Im not sleeping with the wires connected so Im taking as much heat as I can get tonight and Ill let St3ve unhook them before he goes to bed. He stays up pretty late.
So thats my day. Feeling a bit better but with everything happening the past week, I guess it could be considered a good day. Who knows lol. On to tomorrow.
