The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well, phui!

Last week I ordered my regular monthly refill of the pills I take daily to keep my cancer suppressed.

Yesterday I got the "Your package was delivered to your mailbox" email notification. It wasn't there.

Today I was able to be at the mailboxes when the carrier was delivering today's mail. I asked if we could check whether my package was in one of my neighbor's mailboxes, delivered there by mistake. It wasn't there.

No neighbor has come by saying, "Hey, I've got your package."

I went the the USPS web site to report missing mail, but the form has this disclaimer: "...the Mail Recovery Center cannot search for or return the following items:...Prescription Drugs...."

So now I have to figure out how to get an expedited replacement order. I have sent an email to the specialty pharmacy. They don't do customer support by phone. They don't ship other than USPS.

::grump::

I have no idea if they will charge me again. If they do, I will be even more unhappy, but I can take the hit -- the cost is about the same as half a week's groceries.

It's not a disaster. I'm not entirely out of pills, and if I miss a day or two I won't keel over. But still, this is additional stress I do not need.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
