Outrageous Friday, List Style

• Walgreens printed the instructions strangely for my Topamax, so I called the doctor's assistant and sure enough, instructions were totally wrong and I had taken my first dose at the wrong time. 
  
• On the way to art museum, tire loses a strip of itself on the highway. Hubbs decides to drive on it anyway... *wince*
• Enjoyed the art museum, got to theater early to watch Star Trek in the Omnimax. Waited in line for an obnoxious amount of time for good seats.
• Some company had reserved the 4 best rows in the theater (on a Friday night in the Omnimax!!) so even though we waited in line for over an hour and we were 2nd in line we got mediocre seats. And there was a bug on the screen the whole time. Apparently this theater doesn't realize it's dealing with trekkies. They are not wise.
• Sitting in theater and my good old friend the migraine decides to make his appearance, in case I was having any fun without him. 
• Opened up my relpax prescription which I had picked up a few hours prior. What.The.Frack. There is one pill in the bottle. ONE PILL. Look on bottle. "Qty. 1"  I don't remember any of that touching scene of Spock's. 
• Call Walgreens on the way home from theater, it's too late to pick up anything, they close in 4 minutes. They say they got the quantity right.
• I call after hours exchange and the doctor on call (not my doctor) doesn't want to give me more pills. It seems strange to her that the doctor would only prescribe one of these (um yeah, seems strange to me too) and that I would call at night when I couldn't pick up the pill until in the morning. Obviously she doesn't experience migraines. I've gone 2 months without this medicine, so why is it so urgent I get it now? Um, I don't like to be in pain.
• She tells me the Topamax should be helping with the migraines. I shouldn't have them every day. Relpax is not the kind of thing you should be taking every day. Um, it takes Topamax much longer than one day to start helping with migraines. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? By the way, pain hurts. 
• She tells me she will call in one more pill. I get phone number. She has me read prescription info. There were 3 refils. That's all well and good. I get to pay my $10 for each pill separately. That's $40 for 4 pills. And that will only get me through most of the weekend, and I will have to turn around and buy more on Monday. Really trying not to break down right now. In case some haven't noticed, money isn't exactly flowing freely through the streams of the American economy right now. 
• I give up. Apologize for bothering her. I will resign myself to the panic of an impending migrainous weekend, in which I'm supposed to drive an hour and 1/2 to pick my son back up from his grandmother's, get my tires fixed, and spend a day with my extended family. It's also been nearly a week since I've seen my son. 
• I can't wait to see my son.
