Its been a long day, and I am ready to go to bed, even though Jay Leno isn’t on. We usually stay up and watch him, but I’m thinking tonight, he’s going to have to go on without us. I got the newsletters done and out, so thats a relief. I do have the bulletins to do tomorrow. I usually have them already done and ready to be proofread by Monday or Tuesday. But this week has been one of those weeks. I didn’t work at the church Monday (although, I did go out and work at the trucking company, and did a years worth of filing [grin] — ok, not quite, but there was quite a bit. So, I didn’t work at the church Monday, or Tuesday. Yesterday, I worked up the newsletter, and today, corrected my errors, added a few things, copied it and got it ready to mail. You wouldn’t think 250 newsletters would take that long to get ready to mail. But, we use 11 x 17 paper, and the first fold, I have to do by hand. After that, I insert a prayer request sheet, and then take the stack into my little work room, and run them through a folding machine, that folds it in half. After that, I put labels on all of them, and tape the bottom and one of the sides, as required by the post office.
At any rate, go them done, and in the mail. David came to town, and we headed to Emporia for a meeting. We thought we were going to be late. Before we even left town, he had to take a detour because the hwy traffic was being stopped to let a funeral procession enter the highway from the church that is there. He stopped at the grocery store to get something to eat, and several miles down the road, we caught up to the funeral procession. So, he took a back road, and we got to the interstate that way. But not before incountering a train, that we had to wait for. We finally got to the interstate, made good time, and ended up having 30 minutes to spare. Thats good. I’d rather be early than late…although, typically, I always run late.
After the meeting, we hit Walmart. $200 later …. Actually, $200 later, and then a stop at the courtesy booth to get part of our money back. They had long sleeve shirts on sale … $3.00 each. I think we ended buying 20 or 25 of them. He can use them as work shirts, plus I’m sure Ethan will lay claim to some of them. At $3.00 each, we couldn’t pass them up. However, 3 of them got run up at $11.00 each. So, he had the girl at the courtesy desk check them, to see what happened. As they are doing that, we discover that we got a little over exuburant in our shirt buying … a few of them were legitamately $6.00 each. He didn’t want those. So, she refunded us the money on those shirts, and then also refunded the different between $11.00 and $3.00 on the others. It amounted to over $50 back, so it was worth the time and effort to do what we did.
The main reason we went to Walmart was to get one of David’s prescriptions filled. We decided to check into and take advantage of Walmart’s $4.00 a precription plan. Not all of our prescriptions are in the program, but enough of them are to make it worthwhile doing. And they will ship them to us free of charge, so “running to Emporia” doesn’t have to factor in either. The prescription he had filled tonight normally cost $23-something. He got it for $4.00 One of mine falls in the $4.00 plan, and the other one doesn’t. My doctor just put me on another prescription, and it doesn’t either — but the pharmacist told us of a similar drug to what he prescribed that is in the program. I took the information, called my doctor; and they called back this week, and he said to go ahead and take the month supply that I had already bought, but we could switch to the other brand then, and go with it from then on out. David takes 6 prescriptions, and I take 3, and no insurance. So, any help we can get with our meds, we are going to take advantage of.
And now we are home, and I’m ready to go to bed. But, since I have been on the go since this morning, not even a lunch break … I didn’t want to mess up Blog 365 just the 3rd day in. Now I’m off to bed. Night all!
