Pretty unremarkable Saturday morning. Much to do with medical stuff; when are they going to reschedule this MRI from earlier in the week that didn’t happen, why did I get a strange extra four days on one of my prescriptions, and why did the pharmacy send me something like 20 refill reminders on that prescription?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is for the very expensive new drug from a few years ago. It’s helped me more than I can say; I basically can’t walk at all after I’ve been off of it for about four days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insurers used to send me a 90d supply which came in three sealed 30d bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite it having been transitioned to generic, there were still kind of odd restrictions; you only get a 30d fill, and they try to pace it so that you can’t get a refill until you’ve only got a few days left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, last fill, I get the regular manufacturer shrink-wrapped 30d supply, along with a generic bottle with about ten pills inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I got probably twenty email reminders that I need to set up automatic refills….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*call the pharmacy*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Naturally, they’re closed for the weekend. Work with the virtual assistant ended with a, “guess I’ll call Monday.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n So much of life these days is trying to do small, seemingly menial, tasks. It’s not great for my concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But prompt…<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can I channel that energy more often in my daily life?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another case, I think, of where I was trying to stretch out multi-line cards into multiple starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s try another one….<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s one thing I usually take for granted that I want to appreciate more deeply today?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an odd question. Do I really take anything for granted? Yes, I appreciate when others do something for me, but, generally, I can get those things accomplished on my own if help isn’t offered. Would I be completely lost if “important” things went away? Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, it works the other way around, too. I do things for others and get little recognition. But I prefer that to getting criticism for the method in which I do those things for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI reviewer asked whether I do things to reduce overall friction. Yes. If I spill something, I make an attempt to clean it up most of the time. Maybe I don’t do a thorough job, but I do try to get things to be at least presentable. There are things that really bother me that others don’t notice, but I really don’t harp on those things. If I have an opportunity to make a small correction for my own satisfaction, I usually take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s enough for today, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pretty unremarkable Saturday morning.
