Dinner and other mundane tasks.

Commonalities in this world of our civilized democracies make daily chores more typical for all.

Then it goes with saying it is understandable that when in comes to eating at home we all have to decide what that will be on any given day, true?

Notice I said “with saying”, since I will be saying a lot about this also mundane topic.

Many of us who are average folks do our own shopping, but some have “people” who might do it for them but those folks probably also have them making their meals as well… they are not to whom I am speaking; it us regular peeps, my contemporaries.

I know that I once said at this point in our lives it is almost more cost effective to eat out more than at home, and I have many reasons to believe that.

No need for appliances to be used to prepare or cook/make that meal therefore having less higher utility bills or having concern for leftovers and possibly eating food that goes bad and makes you sick and you ending up going to the hospital. (Worse case scenario; so I have a bit of Debbie Downer in me, okay a lot LOL!)

So back to that nearly horrid sometimes overwhelming question, “what’s for dinner, lunch, breakfast”, you get the idea?

One way to lessen the issue is to share the responsibility, and so we do, as long as I am not bed ridden, which sadly has happened too many times to mention, but I digress… yes Hubby and I share that major decision making as all else I would like to think as in all good partnerships, I think.

There is less stress when one has to come up with the idea and then make the concept happen; at least it has been working.

Although, the fear is not having any ideas, but alas one can always surf the freezer which we both do regularly, thank heaven for knowing all defrosting tricks, really!

The old fashion one that has been said don’t do it, leave the item on the counter, but due to bacteria, though if you use it immediately no problem, another is the warm water bath, next the unholy microwave which has also gone out of favor these last few years due to some issues that I am still not clear on, or chose cold food choices, take it out the night before and defrost in the frig or cook frozen food as is, certain things do, do well on the barbecue, or choose all fresh food or last but not least go out to the grocery store and pick it up just before you need to make it, Ta Da! Meals all done.

Moving on…

Today I was supposed to get the delivery of my Copaxone 40 Mg. injectable medication from CVS Specialty, actually last week.

First problem last week was that they hadn’t gotten a diagnosis from my neuro even though they had seven more refills that he had approved; yep it was Florida makes me oh so Blue unhealthy insurance company dropping the ball once more, even though I foolishly have been with them fourteen months now, two to go since I have already received my Medicare card, and they have been paid for March, that is effective June 1^st YAY! Yes, a month before my birthday.

Any-who, by the time they got the new DX it was this past Friday and me with one injection left for tomorrow, and they (CVS Specialty) called telling me that all was well and that I was all set to go for a delivery today, and guess what at around three o’clock I was wondering where UPS was they have delivered it one time to my neighbor even though they are suppose to have you sign for it and he wasn’t even home then but he did bring it over hours later in its cooler. 

So I called to get the tracking number thinking perhaps it happened again, oh because when all it is right it is usually a morning delivery… but horrors the woman who called me Friday was out yesterday due to being ill and did not tell anyone to send it and so we were waiting for NOTHING all day long!

I was good though and just explained the necessity for this medication, and that FL BLUE only ships me a month's supply when all others shipped three months worth, and they call me, I do not call them; it's my only medication  that I have that is like this, ridiculous!

Anyway, it is now due to be here tomorrow and I have a tracking number and everything too!

On that note and if I hadn’t called, let it go, let it go let it go... allow me now to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
