My sister in-law emailed me at gmail to ask me what kind of panties I needed from Victoria's Secret (she just buys them because she gets great discounts and crap like that).



The first sponsored link was for Mormon Underwear. Is Google trying to tell me something?

Good news: I made it to the gym and ran a lot.



Bad news: It even hurts to sit today. Actually it hurts to get up from my chair as well.



Wow. I'm stupid. Guess I'll just have to work it out tonight (if the freezing rain isn't too bad). Until then, ow.



So yes, freezing rain. I hate winter, but I love snow. This whole rain in frozen form that isn't snow just sucks. I have to go grocery shopping too. Figures.

So, it seems like I never write anymore. I've been working, knitting and playing my Wii. I try to think of wonderfully intellectual things to say but they never get past the brainstorming tier in my brain. And honestly, I've been trying not to think of wonderfully intellectual things as to not damage my calm.



Well, as much calm as I can get. You know, I'm just waiting for that meltdown that will bring me to my knees. Because it seems like all around me people are just having a shitty year, and I've been happy. Really happy. Well okay, as happy as I've been in awhile, which means I can smirk once a day. And things are going really well, besides that pesky 10lbs that hates me, which isn't something to stress over (unless I want to fit in the other half of my clothing).



I think I'm going to decorate this year for xmas. Because we have a supercool tree, and I really should check on the ornaments and decorations from my mom. I haven't opened up those totes in a long time, and we've had many moves. However, decorating means cleaning, and I've been slacking on those things. Still waiting on the new water filter to be replaced and the bathroom floor to be cleaned, but it doesn't seem like "threats" get anything done around here anyway. Hell, we still have our bbq out and it has snowed. Obviously I need to take care of some things before decorating.



But instead I'll wait for Ben to wake up so I can go to the gym. And if he doesn't wake up before 11, I'll just continue to make soap and do other things. I could clean....nah.

So my prescription is sitting in the Hazelwood USPS depot. For the past 6 days. I haven't had my proper meds since Saturday. They had issues for some reason, and they paused it a day or so initally.



I call, and they can't do anything until Monday. No free overnight emergency shipping, nothing. Well, she transferred my prescription to Walgreens for me, but it will take a business day to go through.



So it will be a week without my good drugs. What would happen if this was a true emergency? I mean it will be a while before I go comatose, but I can technically die from not taking meds. I'm taking old drugs that aren't even the right brand or strength. I'm stressed out and kept on thinking "just one more day".



I got NO offer of better service or even an apology. What kind of bullshit is that? So, nevermind the fact that it is going to cost me an arm and a leg (it costs less to not use my insurance on these pills, and drugstore.com had a really good deal) but now I think that my script will be denied because I have insurance on file at Walgreens and it is a 90 day script. Oh, and I've never used my current insurance there, so it will be all fucked up anyway. So it will be denied, and then I have to do THAT song and dance.



For fucks sake. Now tomorrow I have to battle the doctors office, and hopefully they will call in a prescription for me. If I ever get through, instate my new insurance (that is changing in January AGAIN) at the evil empire that ALWAYS fucks up my prescriptions, and take care of this while I can barely concentrate and stay awake.



Brilliant. Fucking brilliant.



And after I do all this my drugs will show up in the mail.

I had a pretty good day yesterday despite Ben being very sick with a migrane. We still made it to his parents house for a good meal with pumpkin pie.



Things have been good in Shannon land. Work is good. I don't know what else to say. We're pounded with work and have to put in a lot of hours but it will be worth it in the end. If it isn't, well, then fuck them ;) Things are so screwed up that they can only get better, right?



Home is fine. Ben is spoiling me with a Wii, so I got him a 47" LCD TV. Sure, debt sucks, but it has been a tough year and we can pay this off quickly (I hope). Plus, the TV was over 50% off, and I haven't even seen a black friday deal come close. Yay for free shipping too. I don't think I could get a 140lb TV into the house, nevermind my car. Spending money is our default stress relief, and we haven't done it in a long time.
