Today was a better day than yesterday. Because I had to take strong pain meds to quiet down the flare up, I was able to go out today and get my celebratory roast beef sandwich from a good place. Only the sandwich wasn’t as good as in the past, which was disappointing. The meat was dry. I didn’t eat those parts of it. I went to Starbucks first and to my surprise my Hawaiian coffee is back! I wanted to get an 8 ounce bag but damn, I wasn’t going to pay $30 for it. I will stick with the cup, thank you. But even the cup was expensive at like $6/cup, so it might be worth it to get the bag. I don’t know if they have it at the Square location. I will have to check it out when I go there on Monday. I also want to get the Brazil coffee that I can’t pronounce. It’s called Sertaozinho. I had to look it up on the Starbucks website as I knew I couldn’t remember to spell it right. The new coffee they have, in addition to the Hawaiian, is a Sumantra that I am going to try because there is hazelnuts in it. I don’t really like the Sumantras brand because it is wicked strong and a dark roast but this particular one is supposed to be lighter than the others. I will get a tall and see if I like it. If I don’t, I will get my Hawaiian coffee!
I am glad I was able to walk the distance. I just wish I brought my pedometer with me to see how many steps I walked. It would be interesting to see how many steps I can do on a good day versus a bad day. I am just glad the weather was cool and not too warm. My ankle is sort of bothering me now that I am home resting. I just hope it doesn’t get worse as the night goes on. I wanted to be home to watch the OSU game. It’s on ABC today, which is good. I don’t have to deal with ESPN announcers. They really stink. OSU finally decided who their starting QB was and I am kind of disappointed. I really wanted JT Barrett but Cardale Jones got the job. Hope he doesn’t throw any INT today. They are 3-0 right now. I am really looking forward to the game. Sox are playing a half hour later so I will be switching during commercial breaks. I love college football. Nebraska won today too. I didn’t see their game because I was out and about but kept up with it via Twitter.
There is a wedding I am supposed to attend in the upcoming weeks. I don’t think I am going to go because I don’t have dress clothes that fit me anymore and it’s not like I have the money to buy new clothes. I have a dress shirt that fits but not pants. I will be sad if I miss this. It’s really hard finding my size clothing. I can usually find my waste size but the length is tricky because I am short. The 29 length goes like crazy so I am usually stuck with a 30 that I need to cuff up. I just wish I didn’t gain the weight that I have in the last three years. I has been so tough to lose because I am so inactive. I try to reduce my caloric intake but it’s next to impossible when you get the munchies and you have a sweet tooth. I really would love to get some carob chips or carob covered raisins. Used to be able get them at Whole Foods in bulk but they don’t seem to sell them anymore. I was only able to find carob chips. It’s an alternative to chocolate. But it is expensive. I think the only reason I didn’t get it was because of the price. It was a small bag and I just couldn’t justify buying it because it really wasn’t what I wanted anyway. It would have been fine if I was making cookies or something but I wasn’t.
Walgreens is messing with me and I don’t like it. My prescription for the Zofran is “on file”, meaning nothing is being done with it and then when I called, they wouldn’t answer the phone. I waiting a good ten minutes for them to pick up but they never did. What the hell. I never had any problems with any of my prescriptions being filled. Paying for them is another matter but usually they are good about being filled. I just hope it’s because their system is still down. The prescription has gone from ready to be picked up, to “order received” to on file. I don’t understand this. And without talking with someone about it, I am frustrated. I don’t use this medicine often but I only have one pill left. If I get a migraine, I am screwed because sometimes I need at least two pills to quiet the nausea.
Monday I need to call my doc’s office to see if my pain med is ready to be picked up. I was expecting a phone call yesterday but no one called. It will be another trip into town and I hope my ankle is up to the task.
