The pharmacy America Trusts

I've decided that my new favorite past time is to be in the pharmacy. The good news is that they also pay me to be there. And almost as much as my job that I got a degree to have. What am I doing with my life? Great question.

Anyways, I want to blog my experiences in the pharmacy, because people with drugs are so entertaining.

1. Week 1 (we're going way back 2004) - lady with cast on leg gets so angry at Carly (I can't remember why she was so angry, but my guess is that her pain meds were too soon to be filled). Angry lady throws her casted leg onto the counter to demonstrate to Carly as to why she needed those medications. Vanessa steps in and saves Carly which is so nice, because it's only my first week.

2. Last week, Mike getting "gobble gobble" from a patient.

3. The guy with his girlfriend telling Rebbeca how are are his FAVORITE WALGREEN'S EVER, because his copay was less than he thought (ummm we have nothing to do with the copays, that's all the insurance), then guy goes on to tell Rebecca about his lady friend's daughter who doesn't want to pay for car insurance, so she is going to sign the car over to them and they're going to tell it and move to Vegas. Ummm hope they like the Walgreen's there as much as they like ours. Better yet: Rebecca asking me if I saw the woman's teeth and I said "oh no, I was avoiding eye contact at all cost!"

4. The patient that walks up to the counter and loudly declares that he did not get any information on his viagra prescription (note: there are about 3 other patients at the counter at this point). I honestly thought he was joking for a minute, but no, so I printed some information for him.

More to come as they come to me.

T minus 1 month

So we have about a month to MOVE OUT. We accepted an offer on our condo (an actual GOOD offer!). Basically after all is said and done, we are breaking even since we put money down and have obviously paid off some of the mortgage. We are very happy considering the market, plus we can turn around and put that money back into a down deposit. Now we can get a nice house for a good price. It's doubtful that will happen before we close on the condo, so we're packing up the house and kids (okay cats) and moving to my parent's house for awhile. Deja vu, but we're VERY lucky to have that (very inexpensive) option before us. And I think my parents, especially my mom misses her grandkitties. :) They are very sweet I must say.

It's a little bittersweet, since it is such a nice condo. Jerry and I are so ready for the yard, the family, the expanding... so it's time. We are ready and that is ALL that matters (I can't even tell you how many "you're moving all ready?!?"s I've been getting! It's our life people!!!!! Get over it! ha). Plus I REALLY want a basement to put the litter boxes and husbands in (those would be guitar playing husbands that need basements).

The idea of cooking dinner and not smelling kitty waste is within reach! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that was the one big trouble area that we didn't think about when buying our condo. And it's not awful, it's just difficult to scoop litter while cooking :) I can multi-task with the best of them, but that's going a little too far.

Happy Halloween

You're so new.

Jerry and I have officially begun a new phase in our life. INTERNET AT HOME! Oh my. It's been a long time since I've had the internet at home. It's a great feeling, no more forcing myself to go to school at the last minute to take a test or finish some online homework. I can cook dinner and do homework all at the same time. Right now, cookie dough is in the fridge. LOVE multi-tasking.








Jerry and Bogey playing with one of Jerry's broken guitar strings (and I am worried that Bogey will poke an eye-so far so good). This is great, because here Bogey is teaching us that little creatures (i.e. cats and babies) really prefer cheap, broken stuff over expensive toys.

We literally lowered the price of our condo YESTERDAY and today was TWO showings. It's a little intense. Especially since we haven't found a house (the only one was love is about $40,000 too much yikes!). Anyways, I should be working on my homework, but I can't concentrate at my parent's house (we still haven't signed up for internet access at home, we keep thinking we're moving soon! Crystal ball anyone?).

Everything else is kind of messy as well. I am constantly trying to figure out how to work enough to afford a mortgage, start a family, and continue my schooling. Also I have to figure out how to get these daytime only courses in and raise my family, clean the house, etc etc. I don't see it happening (because well seriously I think about it all of the time!!!), but I also don't see me being happy if I can't continue my education. It's too important to me (too bad it wasn't so important way back when I was young and single - time machine anyone?). That's my current sob story.

Here's hoping that the cats are behaving while our condo is being toured and my procrastination. XOXO

Sometimes I wonder if you pretend everything is okay, everything will be okay.

Anyways, Happy birthday Grandpa. Grandma is doing okay, we're okay. For reals.

Jerry and I made chocolate chip cookies last night.
A first :-) They're yummy.

My brain is complete toast after another fun-filled statistics exam, so why not update, verdad? Also, it's a rainy mess - one which I'd prefer to be reading Eragon and cuddling with the cats in (Jerry's at Dave's "Jamming" so he is out of the cuddling-sorry baby). Plus I know I probably won't get home in time for Idol, so I'll just get the dirt at work tomorrow (GO DANNY). This is what happens to your brain on math. It just goes and goes and nothing makes sense. Trust me, I'll dream about Chi-squares I am sure. So my venture into graded courses has gone surprisingly well. The last time I took a graded course, I had just met Jerry, so it's been quite a few years. Maybe I can do this, we'll see. It's a pain in the a*s when you're trying to work two jobs and take classes. Schools are sort-of working adult friendly, but only if you're degree seeking and seeking a degree they offer! SUCKS. How and when to get organic chemistry in has been haunting me for months. The rest I think I can manage taking WCTC night courses. A few days ago, I tried logging into PAWS (don't ask what that stands for, because I do not know) at UW-M and I am still good to go. I last went there in 2004! I got an A in step aerobics, haha. Love it. I'd love to go back to UW-M, but not at night. I have gotten paranoid with my age.

Go Gokey. Carly's running in the rain, well probably not running... it'd take a lot more than some rain to make me run. Why do people run for fun?? I like a nice stroll mano-y-mano con mi esposo.
