ION, I'm getting this additional life insurance and had to talk to my insurance guy about a colposcopy I had (which I don't think he even knew what it was, so not as awkward as it might have been), and just got follow up questions from someone I don't know, and it is all slightly awkward to be discussing with non-medical men I don't know very well.

AAAAAGH.

Went to the doctor yesterday. Have been trying to switch to a new pharmacy, which has parking, instead of requiring a half mile walk like my current one (good for me, but I put it off too often, I can also walk to the one with parking OR drive). So I ask them to send some refills to that new one, and the nurse double checks the address, and I do too, to make sure it's the right one.

....so today I get an automated phone call from the mail-order pharmacy saying "we got your refills! we'll ship them in two weeks!" and I'm like WTF. Call them back--turns out somehow instead of sending the meds to the pharmacy I requested, they got sent to the mail order one (which I NEVER requested, for these particular meds--one I only like to fill occasionally, it's too expensive to get filled regularly, and one I need sooner than mail order could get to me). So I had to call the clinic and bitch, but because it's a huge university practice, I had to talk to someone who has no idea, who has to send it to the clinic, who will do something about it in 1-2 days, who won't even let me know when it happens...ARGH.

I think my first clue that I shouldn't have read that was that it involved cats and Hec thought it was great. That was really upsetting to read.

Well, I didn't like it because harm came to cats. I liked it because it was affecting and heartfelt.

I love kitties and I also loved it, so YOMV.

Congrats, though, Hec, on having achieved Mengele of Cats status. That's got to warm the cockles of your cat-killing shrivelled heart.

I did try and tell y'all it was affecting.

If someone could explain to me why my back is jacked, that would be GREAT. I am shifting in my chair in a way that probably looks like I had a dangerous early nooner. But I can't find a comfortable way to sit...I HATE YOU, LIFE.

Least favorite nickname ever.

Heh. Made me giggle, though.

Did y'all see the bit about teh FDA requiring dosage cuts on ambien? Made me think of Erin...

You did! Your comment is the reason I still haven't read it! (Although I think he told at least part of the story at the reading I went to.)

We spent an hour at Wal-Mart yesterday for prescription stuff. It is maddening.

Dana,

did you lose a bet?
