Total commute time from work to home on Friday night: 2 hours
Total time spent waiting for the pharmacist to answer a simple question: 10 minutes*
Total amount spent on cold meds for sick roommate: $13.00
Arriving home to find that your dog has left a liquid-solid** “gift” for you on the berber carpet: priceless

* I stopped at the CVS to get cold meds for ECD, but I wanted to make sure what I got was OK with the prescriptions she takes so I wanted to ask the pharmacist the question. I waited for about 3 minutes before anyone even acknowledged my presence at the counter. I then waited about 7 more minutes for the pharmacist to “be right with me” before I lost my patience and called out, “Nevermind!” I then spent some time perusing a particular brand that was made for people with high blood pressure - that’s what I got.

** Nothing like arriving home to any type of “gift” from the pooch, but this particular edition was unpleasant and took some time to clean up. She’s now happily noshing her dinner. Man, the dog’s life…

And now I need to figure out what to make for dinner that my sick roomie will eat.

Oh, yeah and shout out to KBF. I’ll respond to your email later!

LATER: And I forgot to mention the uplifting topic on Chris Core’s radio show during my drive home. But that’s for a separate post of it’s own and boy, it’s a doozy.
