The Stars Were in Line Today ...

I did not have a long list of things to do today. Basically my 'To Do' list said:

"Morphine"

As in ... my morphine prescription was due.

Getting it is a wee bit cumbersome. You cannot call in a morphine prescription, nor send it via the post - it must be picked up and carried to the pharmacy. It cannot be partially filled - it is all or nothing. Sometimes it is a problem finding a pharmacy that has it in stock. The prescription expires in seven days. Pharmacy's cannot take the prescription without filling it right then - no ordering it so ... a process.

I got up, told Charlie goodbye and drove to my doctors office. I then settled in for a wait. A required call the day before meant my chart was 'out' somewhere, so when I come in - a nurse begins the process of reviewing my chart and writing out the prescription ... in triplicate. It takes a while. I was reading my kindle when my name was called five minutes later. I was surprised - what could be wrong? I had called the day prior, it was not too soon to fill the prescription, what?

I go to the reception window and there is my prescription - just waiting for my signature. "This must be a record!" I told the receptionist. She agreed. I signed for it and headed back to my car. Off towards home and to a Walgreen's that I have had luck with the drug being in stock.

It was.

I decided my stars were in line today!

Stepped back in my house two hours after walking out ... a personal record for my 'Monthly Drug Run'. And my day proceeded from there. Things were going swimmingly ... it is nice when a day comes together like this Friday did for me.

At one point, I texted Ryan:

"I bought a Lady Gaga album ... what does that say about me?"

He texted back:

"I will tell you when I get there."



OH!!!


I forgot.


MY SON WAS COMING HOME FOR THE WEEKEND!!!

I could not have asked for a nicer day ...
