My wife is sick. She doesn’t just have a common cold or a flu, she has an infection. These are times when it is handy to have a wife who is a nurse because she knew she couldn’t just sleep this off. So today, I had to drive her to the clinic, then to the pharmacy at Shop Rite, where we did some shopping while the medication was being prepared. Two prescriptions. Cost? $190. Yes, you read that right. But things worked out because she called the doctor back and he told the pharmacist to get her a cheaper equivalent. New cost? $16. What a difference. I wonder why the doctor would prescribe such an expensive medication when cheaper alternative is (I assume) just as good. Maybe doctors get a kickback of some sort?
Anyway, that took up about 3 hours of my time, after which I started doing the laundry. Every other weekend is a laundry weekend, and it had to be done today or tomorrow. All 5 loads. I don’t know why we had so much laundry this time, but that took up quite a bit of my time as well. Now it has been almost 12 hours since I got up but I haven’t made any significant progress. I guess now is the time to buckle down and get it done. Maybe it is time for an all-nighter with a little bit of caffeine.
