Too Much

Richard is home!!! I slept better last night than I had in weeks. Our day together was wonderful but I overdid it. We ended up taking two trips to Wal-Mart and I normally have trouble tolerating one!

I needed to pick up my meds but they had forgotten to get authorization from the workmen's comp carrier who for some unknown reason requires each refill to be authorized. The pharmacy calls and gets an answering machine and must await telephone approval before dispensing the medications. Each time it is a hassle and I almost always run out of meds before approval finally comes. I must admit, it makes me very upset.

Today, it was the pharmacy's fault. Last month they also forgot to call for approval and it was ten days before I got the pills. This month, I was very careful to remind them to call the insurance carrier, but it made no difference. God was good and I remained cordial, but inside I was irritated.

I don't do well in crowded, noisy and busy environments and by the time the pharmacist finally told me I couldn't get my meds, I had been there 45 minutes, way beyond my break point. I was a cognitive mess by the time we left.

After doing other things (cleaning out our shed, taking a load of stuff to Goodwill, etc.) we got Tacos and ate them at our cute dining table. Then it was off to a different Wal-Mart (there are three in our area) where we bought much needed groceries. My brain was completely fried by the time we made it to the check stand. I won't do a double dose of big box stores again.

So, we will spend the evening deciding on a church for tomorrow...
