WTAF. I called the pharmacy to let them know my HRT hasn't been delivered. They told me the doctor hasn't faxed them with proof of prescription renewal. And this week, the nurse let me know she was sending a fax to the pharmacy to renew the prefect for three more months.

So the pharmacist told me that the d have to call the doctor again. I explained that the doctor's office won't be open again until Tuesday, and i would be out of meds by then.

The pharmacist checked my files to make sure I've been on this for an extended period. Then she agreed to make the executive decision to give me a refill so I don't have to spend the holidays in absolute withdrawal misery, because cutting off hormones suddenly is baaaad. Yeah. I'm aware.

Time to go to the pharmacy. I won't believe this is over until I have meds in hand. I've been struggling with this for over a month with numerous doctor visits and a LOT of phone calls. #HealthCareOrLackThereof #WildGooseChase #menopause #HRT

#TIL that it is »wild-goose chase«, that is, it is the goose that is wild, not the chase.

But while a bit of rain won’t hurt, letting emotions steer our ship can lead us straight into an iceberg.

Instead of letting your emotions be the unruly toddler with the control over the music playlist, it’s time to put them in the backseat.

Yesterday I got a record high count cackling goose for my county - there was no less than 6 together (not all in the photograph) among a flock of a few hundred Canada geese. The previous record high count was 3, at this same location just a couple weeks ago. Albany County, New York, November 2023
