OK, maybe not to you, but it is to me.
You see, quite a while ago (check the medical tag for the history of it all), I started taking Wellbutrin. I switched because I was having some… inconvenient side effects from generic Prozac, and because I could get Wellbutrin from Canada for free through a program at work. This worked gloriously for… 18 months, maybe longer. Then last fall, the website stopped carrying Wellbutrin. In fact, it stopped carrying a lot of things (which didn’t really matter to me except that there were no alternatives to try to switch to). Then, it went down completely.
Well, we just got an email from HR that said the site is back up and they’re hoping it will be working fine from now on, and they included a list of the drugs offered and via which health plans (we have 3 here – the joys of being union). And it’s back! I’m so very excited. I have a doctor’s appointment in two weeks for my physical and to re-up my prescriptions, so you can be certain that I will be switching back. Plus, I’ll have a refill of generic to utilize in case things get held up at the border or the site goes down again.
Really, I’m quite happy about this. It’s not a huge difference between the generic and the name brand, but it’s noticeable to me at least.
In other news, I sent out a slew of emails this morning and afternoon to attempt to alleviate some of my stress. And you know what, it worked! I’ve gotten a few replies already and am feeling better. The ginormous list of what needs to be done, packed, etc, did not really help. It did help a little when I put each of those things on the calendar and I saw that if I did a little each day I would, in fact, probably have time to do it all. But I’m skeptical. We’ll see. I am, however, still attempting to remain calm, or at least have a calm, low-key freak-out if need be. Still avoiding all Bridezilla-type moments. I will attempt to not abuse wine in order to get this to happen.
Also, I tried Quiznos again today. It had been several years, since the other two times I’d eaten there I was very… unsatisfied. But I thought I’d give them another shot, attempting to keep an open mind, especially since they’re right across the street at work and open later than most places (it’s hard to find a good sammich at 3). They had a commercial for a roast beef dip (essentially), which I love, so I thought I’d try. And I was… disappointed. It wasn’t inedible (like before), but… eh. I may go back to try something else – we’ll see. The au jus that came with the sub was… thick. Oddly thick. Au jus is supposed to be… messy and runny and, well, juice like. This was much closer to barbecue sauce consistency. Unsettling.
So on tonight’s to do list are: take down wine rack (easier to do now that the wine glasses are gone, and there’s only one bottle of wine left); pack up kitchen linens; pack up any remaining camping supplies, and; call 
and mother-in-law. I should call the contacts I have about the urban teaching field experience too. Last night I threw out two completely full, double-bagged because they were so heavy, garbage bags of things from the kitchen, including the fridge, pantry, and freezer. The freezer’s not finished, but I figured that was enough for now. I don’t know when the garbage gets picked up here, and if it gets too hot and it’s not picked up until next week, that could be gross. So that will have to get finished later. What remains in my kitchen? Surprisingly, my food cabinets are still mostly full, because there are quite a few boxed meals etc that can easily be moved. The pantry is nearly empty, except for a few spices I knew were at least less than 2 years old, an unopened package of flour, and some bags of chocolate chips. The fridge contains a half-gallon of milk that expires today, a bag of baby carrots, some cheese, and some aloe for sunburns I won’t be getting this year. So what am I eating tonight? I’ve got some cash from the wine glasses. Perhaps some Thai (or Vietnamese? what kind of Asian is that place by my house?) from down the street. Perhaps just some mac n cheese.
Hold on… I have pictures that I took last night. I’ll post those in a sec.
