Holiday Festivities
Well, it’s the holiday weekend, that’s for sure. The frequent-flyers are trying to get as many drugs as possible for their festivities. Such as this women:
her: I lost my whole bottle of Seroquel (an antipsychotic/mood stabilizer known for hallucinations) that I just got filled last Thursday, and I need more.
me: [looks up her info, discovers she's one of our regular frequent-flyer, talks to the RPh about her, finds out a replacement script will be about $500 because her insurance won't cover lost drugs]
RPh: Tell her she’s going to have to sell a lot of her ocycontin to be able to afford to replace her script.
me: We could refill it for you, but you’d need to pay cash because you’re insurance won’t cover lost prescriptions.
her: I can’t afford to pay cash! [much whining] Is my oxycontin ready to be filled yet?
She wasn’t happy when I told her that her oxycontin couldn’t be filled until Thursday at the earliest, either, and she sounded like she’d taken more than he prescribed dosage of her Percocet too.
While I was at work, Eddie made a shopping list, and so I came home, checked emails and feeds, and we headed out to pick up some food. In addition to most of the stuff he had on the list (I crossed off “snacks” and “chips” because we’ve got plenty of snacky things here, and skipped the bread and sliced meats because I rarely make sandwiches for lunch), we got hamburgers and rolls, some bottled water for me, canned peaches and a bunch of those 100 calorie snack packs for me to bring to work for lunch. Then we came home, and Eddie cooked up some cheeseburgers with bacon.
Tomorrow we both get to go to work early. Eddie starts his new schedule, going back in at 7am, and I go in for 9am because the other Monday tech has the day off. At 6pm I get to go down to Coventry, we have dinner at Mom’s, then come home and pick up Pickle and bring her down to Mom’s house for the night, so she’s not stuck in her cage in the heat for 2 days straight.
Tuesday is the Bristol parade, where we will undoubtedly take a lot of pictures between the two cameras, possibly get sunburnt (depending on how well the super-sunscreen we bought will work), and cook something on the grill when we get back to Mom’s. Sounds like fun, eh?
