What is even happening?

Wait, so the red Sudafed was available in the aisles, but they'll only let the pharmacist ring it up for the law abiding people, but still leave it on display for the druggies to steal for their meth making?

I am feeling better. Practically pain free. My folks are coming over tonight to visit and help with the kids so I can continue to take it easy. This injection needs to last at least six months or I fear the alternate options.

Thank goodness. Cashmere, if it's only what the insurace will cover that's limiting your access to this shot, is it at all affordable, such that you could pay out of pocket a couple of times between now and six months from now?

I'm glad you're feeling better and that your parents are there to help you out, while Christopher is gone.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

No, what they do now with the real (red) Sudafed is they have coupon thingies hanging where the Sudafed boxes would be (in a more reasonable universe where we had effective anti-drug procedures, but I digress) in the aisles, and you take it up to the counter.

But in the CVS, it's behind the upfront counters with the cigarettes, et cetera, and in the Brooks, it's back in the pharmacy. And in both places you have to SIGN a register. Because if you buy more than three packages of Sudafed a month, you might have a meth lab at home.

::rolls eyes forever::

I may have been a wee bit short with that cashier, but damn, that was shabby customer service.

Cash, what Cindy said about affording the shot if possible. When you tote up all the extra money you'd spend on ibuprofen, the amount of time you'll be unable to function and all, it might be a good idea to try to skimp on a few inessentials so that Wife and Mom can feel better....

She definitely should have informed you of the policy, and not been so darned rude, when you asked a question. I just thought they were being extra-special stupid.

I hear from a mutual friend that Narrator is safe.

Aren’t I usually?

When I looked reckless up in the dictionary, there was no picture next to it at all, so naturally, you sprang immediately to mind.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Anyway, it was cute. As was he. Me, not so much, but next time I fall into bed at 9 o'clock I'll try to remember to put on something nicer.

It's always the cute ones who come to the door when one is wearing the comfy jammies.

*Innocent blink* There is not a reckless bone in my non-existent body.

You know what's not funny? This weird frog-in-my-throat feeling. That, combined with the death sleep, makes me worry I'm getting sick.

And if I am, I'm blaming the pizza with coworkers.

Your pizza has coworkers? Mine usually just has pepperoni.
