My Wonderful Idea

I have notices a sharp decline in my blog hits over the past few weeks. This could be caused by my lack of posts or the fact that I went private. I bet it has a lot to do with both. In my defense I have been sick all weekend with streptococcus (strep throat). I picked up this bacteria infection from Mindy, who got it from her nephew, who got it from some other family member who has yet to be determined. I started to feel sick late Friday night. Then I sat around miserable all day Saturday while Mindy when into urgent care. I'm just way too cheap to pay the $40 bucks and then the $15 dollar copay for a prescription. So I was planning to suffer until today and go into the doctor and pay $30 for the whole shebang. Saving me a total of $25 bucks. Well, not to brag but last night while I was on deaths door I had a wonderful idea. I didn't know if it would work but I was so miserable I thought I would give it a try. I called the assigned doctor on my insurance card, whom I have never seen, and told her my symptoms. She simply called in a prescription to my local CVS. I went in and picked up the prescription about 20 minutes later. As luck would have it I had a CVS gift card and so my prescription was free! I am now on the road to recovery. Genius!
