Day 8 - Rx Fail


Today was a veritable hat-trick of prescription struggles:

1) I realized last night that I had run out of one of my (many) prescriptions without noticing, and so had to call the Rite-Aid automated refill at 11 o'clock at night. The robot-lady-voice cheerfully informed me that I couldn't pick up my prescription until a half-hour into my work shift for the afternoon.

2) I stopped by Rite-Aid on my way to work anyway, in hopes that it might have gotten refilled early, and was thrilled to find that it had! Then when I got home after work I discovered that I had accidentally managed to pick up a prescription for Mom instead.

3) And now it's 11 o'clock again and I've just found that I'm out of a second prescription as well. And the robot-lady-voice says for some reason I can't have it until the day after tomorrow. And it's my anti-insomnia meds. BLEARHGLARGHLARGH

-10 points for not paying close enough attention to my meds, -30 points for being out the $20 co-pay for Mom's meds, -50 points for spending the next 36 hours awake.
