Today I walked again with my walking buddy (WB). This time we went around the block at school. That walk is one mile. We tried to go a 2nd time, but my body just wasn't up for it. After all it was a mile!!!
The thing is when we started a 2nd lap I got as far as the 1st 1/4 of the block. I told my WB that I couldn't finish the 3/4 lap. I thought I could, but my body stated differently, convincingly (light headed, motion sensitive). I called to be picked up. My ride picked me up and we went home.
Between yesterday and today we accepted 43 members!!
many stated they would join the walk this week. 😄😀 let's see what happens.
I went to get my blood pressure rx from the pharmacy. They had me worried because I couldn't get it refilled on time. I had called it in last week on Saturday. They said I didn't have any refills and needed a doctor's rx to refill again. They would contact the Dr. on Monday and it should be ready Wednesday; today. Well, I had called; nothing. So I played operator between the pharmacy and the clinic.
I called the pharmacy. They're still waiting. I called the clinic. Apparently the head Dr, the one who signed off on my rx, is only there once a week. That day already passed. Dammit! Front office nurse put me on hold to see what could be done. She passed me to the back office. I spoke to the person in charge of dispensing the medicine there. She said the pharmacy needs to speak to her directly since the doctor wasn't in. I called to tell the pharmacy and told them to speak directly to the head of dispensary. I asked if they would call within the next ten minutes as I really needed my blood pressure medicine today. I started getting nervous. I looked in my old pill bottles looking for a lone BP rx. I found 1/2 and 1/4 pills in a bottle. I took the 1/2 pill.
Then I went back to pushing for my rx again. One hour later I called again, after being reminded, to check on my rx. I was told by a technician in the pharmacy that they had left a message. I called the clinic, myself, and asked to speak to the back office/dispensary. She did not get the message. I gave her the pharmacy number. She said she would call them. Within an hour the pharmacy automated called me back. The rx was finally ready to pick up.
Right after the pharmacy we went to the discount store, G. There I found various sewing and knitting accessories to pass the time. I got two trim up packets, two yarns, size 18 doll pattern, and needle point embroidery kit. Can't wait to try them.
I also bought a silk scarf. It was, unfortunately, G clean which is NOT clean. They don't clean anything! At all!! I had to wash that scarf multiple times. The first time I put it in the sink to hand wash the water turned BLACK! and as many times I washed it it still smelled! Finally I hung it outside to dry. I plan to let it soar in the wind for two days but already I could tell that nature is correcting a man made mistake.
