Medical fun and games

Got an appointment for my "yearly" thyroid profile, finally. Had to wait until I was going to have another paycheck, but hey, at least I got it scheduled. It's going to be off all to hell, since I haven't had any of my pills since, oh, I dunno, last month? zylch was kind enough to give me some of hers, but she takes about 60% of the dose I do, and in any case, I haven't had any of those for a while either. I've got four left, and am trying to work out what configuration I should best take them in between now and my test on Monday. My overall concentrations are so low now that it probably won't matter. Oh well.

For more fun and games, I get my Ortho-evra prescription at the Eckerd's down the road, and I need a refill of that, too. So I go to the website to order a refill, and eckerd.com now redirects to a CVS pharmacy site - apparently Eckerd has been bought out. The site assures me that Eckerd Rxs will transfer right over, no problem. So I do the refill thing, and I'm not really paying attention, but I'm pretty sure that the screen says that I can pick up my Rx at the CVS in St. Petersburg, FL. *blink* When I get the order confirmation, yep, sure enough - St. Petersburg. Apparently the store number for the Eckerd down the road is the same as the store number for the CVS down there. So I call the customer service line. The woman at the other end assures me that it won't go through, since I only have an Eckerd account, and not a CVS account. But I'm not sure. I bet you anything that when I call the Eckerd's they'll tell me they can't refill that Rx because it's already been filled this month or something.

Thick as a brick is not a bad phrase to describe my head today. I need uninterrupted sleep. I added a new station to my journey through insomnia last night. Now I wake up on the fibonacci hours:23, and as an extra added bonus, pi, 3:14. My clock doesn't show seconds, and I think this is a good thing. What the fuck. I suppose I'd have to wake up twice at 1:23 to really pull off the sequence, but hey. I'm doing the best I can. I'm not even a mathematician.

Anyway, I can't seem to get much accomplished today either. Yesterday I was toxic, today I'm just stupid. Everything's not coming out wrong, but every third thing is. And I have something useful to say to the spiral ritualists, if I could just figure out how to say it. I understand Mercury's in retrograde and all, but I don't even believe in astrology. Maybe if I don't believe in it harder, it will leave me alone.

I took 100 mic. of synthroid and 2 excedrin. Couldn't hurt, might help.

EDIT: The fog is clearing a bit now - maybe it's the med hit, or maybe it's this: "We are going to create a super-coffee that everyone can benefit from eventually," Mr Rodrigues told reporters in Brasilia.
