Firstly, No WONDER there's so many HP references in Doctor Who, David Tennant was Barty Crouch, Jr!!
Secondly, Doctor's visit. It was fine, no problems at all, other than the whole sitting in the doctor's office naked except for the gown for 45 minutes, when the exam itself takes 10! I showed him the spot on my arm where my blister burn left white dots, and he said that was normal. It will probably take until next summer for it to go back to normal color, but he said I could try a self tanner if it really bothered me. It doesn't bother me at all, I just wanted to make sure I didn't do any permanent damage. Obviously he said to keep an eye on the freckles at the burn spot to make sure they don't change, but since I took good care of it when it happened it shouldn't leave any permanant marks. (yay antibiotic ointment!)
Thirdly, Driving with my aunt. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, I swear. When she drives, she sort of wiggles the wheel back and forthl. Not enough to be swerving, but enough for it to make me feel queasy! I don't even think she's aware of doing it, and i think it's a throwback from driving non power-steering cars.
Fourthly, what is it with the women in my family and being stupid when it comes to their cars? my aunt's car is making this sort of crunching noise whenever she goes over a bump. I thought her muffler might have been loose and it was hitting things, but I checked that and it's firmly attached. I asked her if she knew it was making that noise and she says "yes, it's been doing that for a while". Seriously. WHAT THE EFF? If your car is making a funny noise, you NEED to get it at least looked at asap! At the very least you can find out if it's a major problem or something minor. you don't want to cause an accident because part of your car falls off while you're driving!
Fifth, I think I pissed off my aunt. We were talking about money, jobs, etc. and she said to me that once I get a job, I ought to "help mom out" with bills. I told her that I already DO help pay some of the bills, and as soon as I have a job offer, I'm moving. I'm not applying for jobs in this area because I don't want to live here anymore! I'm DONE with Lancaster County, York County...heck, maybe even with PA. I'd be willing to work in Philly, perhaps, but that's about the only area of this state I'm remotely attached to. (of course, if Penn State wants to offer me a job, I won't be saying no to that). The only way I'd stay in Lancaster is if I'm working for M'ville or Etown. (or one of the other colleges, but i haven't seen any positions open at F&M or York College that I'm qualified for)
Sixth, Eckard is really screwed up in their Pharmacy department. This morning I called in the LAST refill on my birth control, and while I was at the doctor's office, he sent to the pharmacy a prescription for "one with 11 refills", meaning a year's worth.. The pack I was picking up today should say "zero" on the refills, and the new prescription should go in as 12 refills, since it's the same thing. Well, I pick up my prescription, and it still says "one refill". So, I ask forf confirmation on the 12 months on the new one, and question why there's one refill left when I just had the last refill filled. The tech kept trying to tell me that I "didn't pick up my refill" once, so it went back into the computer. Right. I didn't pick up a monthly pack of BC. I don't THINK so. So, I talked to the pharmacist,and he fixed it and looked and saw the problem. For whatever reason, when the pharmacy filled a refill for my mom, they accidentally filled one for me too. When mom and I were there to pick up hers and they told me I had one there, I had the pharmacist back it out of the system since I wasn't ready for the new pack yet. the tech, however, left it lay in the tray, and so after the two weeks or whatever, he put it back into the computer. Oi. THEN, the tech put in the new prescription as "11 months" because it was getting filled today. But I was only picking up ONE pack. the last refill on last year's, not the first refill on this year. THANK GOD FOR A COMPETENT PHARMACIST. He knew what I meant, and fixed everything in the computer. But really, they're not giving me good reason to not change to CVS* after the official merge with Rite Aid.
*We know I won't be switching to CVS though. Since CVS's prescription database is nationwide (I already checked), and a certain someone works for a CVS, I'll never be using CVS again. I even had CVS delete my records off their system (and reported him, but of course since I wouldn't let them use my name in the reporting it didn't matter.) |
