It has been interesting the last few days at the new pharmacy. Today I was filling some Nexium for a patient and thought, “Well surely this is too soon! We just filled this!” I think this all the time only to discover that a month has already gone by before I knew it. I didn’t have to look this up. I had a big number 1 form in my mind’s eye as I looked down at the bottle again. Filling this man’s Nexium tells me that I transferred to the new pharmacy about a month ago. I have to say that I think I may have traded one set of problems with all new, different problems. Oh well, at least they are different and surely have new lessons wrapped up with them. It makes me appreciate my girls back at the old pharmacy more. It makes me grateful, still, not to have to endure other things anymore. Hindsight is definitely 20/20, but I still think that I made the right move.
Just as quickly as this month has gone by, so has this past year. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I scurried out, with days to spare, in search of Christmas presents that I could not afford to buy until forced to…by time. Now, as always, I am running late and need to go out tomorrow (worst day EVER to shop) and pilfer through what’s left. This is classic Shelley – in line at the store the night before, and sometimes the day of, any holiday or situation that involves gifts. The men and I searching through the few Valentine’s Day cards that are left (on the morning of) are quite a scene. “We have to stop doing this. We should have come sooner,” I tell a few men that have been complaining about the selection. I remember this trait in my mom. She would rush in and out of a store, hair flying and mouth cussing. Cussing herself for her procrastination. I can now remember about 47 times that I have thought I was back in time and that I was HER! Oh, Lord! I said I would never allow this; me being my mom! Ugh!
I want, and I long for, a new camera for Christmas; with a new camera bag and three French lenses (not really French, I don’t think) and a paaartridge in a pear treeeee. Please, Universe!!!!, bring me this camera. I not only want it, but I NEEEEED it! Amen.
May your Christmas wish come true! 🙂
btw, did the little wart ever go away? The one you paid a penny for?

Haha! It did! When I was at the dermatologist, he tapped it with his finger and said something I didn’t understand and the next thing I knew he was freezing it off! So I guess, in a way, she may have gotten rid of it.
