Cry
10 May
Side note: Does anyone remember the song "Cry" by The Mavis’s, I loved that song.
I am aware this is not normally the way a break from blogging goes, posting twice in a day, but now would not be the time to hassle me about it, let me tell you why:
Reasons I could have cried today:
- Because researching my assignment is boring.
- Because I forgot to print something after I shutdown my laptop so I had to restart it to print three pages.
- Because the Lady Plumbing hurts today.
- Because the traffic through the City/Valley was bad today.
- Because a white taxi, 4WD and car with a trailer very almost hit my car in said traffic through no fault of my own.
- (From joy) Because I have an excellent hair cut that everyone in the world should be jealous of.
- Because the present I envisioned getting D’Mummy cost $20 more than I wanted it to.
- Because I really wanted Oporto but they only have burgers with chicken on them.
- Because a group of high school girls walked past in the jeweler and knocked into me then laughed about it.
- Because I cared that high school girls were mean to me.
- Because there was no plain soy milk this morning for breakfast.
- Because I am hungry.
The real reason I did cry today. The reason I gasped, blinked back tears all the way to the car and then sobbed like a sissy all the way home, stopping to buy petrol and a Mars bar to make it through the afternoon:
- Because I went to renew my pill prescription but it had expired and was therefore unable to be refilled.
If anything is a marker of my rather delicate emotional/hormonal state, this would be it. I feel like a junkie, I need my pill, I need to feel normal again, my body can clearly not regulate the Lady Plumbing itself and it makes me rather miserable when it attempts to do so. So now I have to go to the Doctor just to get a new script because I really don’t think I could make it until next Friday without out. I am certain I would have self harmed, or sat and home and cried every day, or gone otherwise insane by then. I didn’t bother fighting with the Pharmacist, I will choose my battles and I am sure they can’t just fill expired scripts just because someone wants them to, especially if there is a mad woman hassling you about it.
** I just called D’Mummy to have a cry about my misfortune (who else can fix things like a Mummy?) and she said to call the Doctor to see if they’d just do a script because they’ve done it for her before (but each time I’ve asked, I’ve been rejected). I called them and with some gentle begging (and $10) I’ll have a prescription by tomorrow arvo. Now all I have to do it make it through tomorrow without punching anyone or myself and we’ll be sweet
Ohhh! Poor D’Jen! Worst possible timing for the world to suck, I have no sagelike advice to offer — other than that you know; this too shall pass. *hugs*
Man, when it rains it pours, doesn’t it. Although, it’s probably not raining in Brisvegas.
Can you sleep alright? Maybe you should just go to sleep now, then sleep right through to tomorrow when you can get your script.
hahah Jay said “poor jen”. Are you gonna stab him in the eye now?
I go to a bulk billing doctor so I don’t have to pay shitloads for little things like pill perscriptions. Why pay when you can bulk bill?
Jen you write sooo much I have been reading forever to catch up!
Firstly, I know you don’t want anybody feeling sad for you, but I wish you all the luck with your lady plumbing and hope they are all ok – I am sending all my positive thoughts your way!
Ummmm I trying to remember other things to comment about because I have read so much but I will leave it at that for now..I think my brain fell out due to not thinking for a week.
xx Kate
hehe, i would like to see you punch yourself… that would be entertaining im sure
I’m so glad you were able to get a script sorted. Sometimes the hassle of pills and scripts are SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS! Shits me that I have to pay $60 just to get a lousy peice of paper. ah well.
Anyhoo, I am happy to hear you at least had happy tears for a hot hair cut… hurrah!
“Oh Jen, you’re just being a silly sook”
*whispered hugs*
Oh, good! I’m glad you half-sorted it out. The doctor definitely should just write it for you on the spot (v. important part of life).
I remember when I came back from Europe, and my entire room looked like a bomb had hit it, and I couldn’t find my script ANYWHERE.
It was tough.
But still it out, D’Jen. Everything will be okay xox
Jay, listen to Jac, no poor me!! I will be fine
Amanda, by a small act of divine intervention I found an old (but not expired script) and managed to “score” my pills last night (do I sound like a junkie if I say score?). I took one while I was still at the chemist and now no one has to die. Hooray
Jac, If he does it againb, I might.
I don’t know where any bulk billing Doctors are near me, nor could I be bothered to go to a new place. It’s all sorted now though, fortunately.
Kate, yay, how was your holiday?
Thanks for the good wishes, I’m sure it’ll be sweet.
Deb, keep me away from my pill any longer than I’ve been off it now and you will see it
I hate getting scripts, and this is the ONLY script I’ve had since having a health care card and I can’t even use it ;( Grrrr, why give me one then?!
Enny, yes, good! I am a sook
Rosanna, with stuff like the pill they should just hand out scripts. I am not over 35 and I don’t smoke, that’s all they need to know
Suck it up D’Jen! What are you – a woose!!!
(was that good???)
Sweetheart, we all have days like this. Be kind to yourself, eat some chocolate, watch a chick flick or go snuggle in bed. It will pass.
Hope your “lady plumbing” is sorted soon. Want me to send over hot plumberboy/landlord ?
Amanda@Vox, excellent, top job
Steph, trust me, chocolate has been eaten! If it weren’t for chocolate I would have been found with my head in the oven a long time ago
I go back to Lady Docotor next Friday, if she can’t sort it out I’ll get you to send the plumberboy…
I forgot myself! Please don’t stab me, you great, silly, sook!
Jay, last warning, I can’t promise anything if it happens again.
PS – I hate that song!
I’m lucky – my doctor will renew my pill prescription if I just give him a call then I just pick it up. This is why I now trek an hour to see him even though I moved.
Oh hon, I just want to give you big hugs. You need some pampering.
I seriously cried for hours because a boyfriend had bought thick based pizza instead of thin.. Thanks to lady plumbing issues..
Enny, why it’s awesome?!
MadameBoffin, what a good Doctor, I don’t have any doctor I really love.
Also, it’s going to sound bad, but I am not a hugger, so hugs don’t really fix much for me
I’d much prefer a coffee and chat in terms of feeling better than touchy feely. I fail at being a girl sometimes 
N, I so understand the disappointment of thick v. thin crust, I’d cry for hours normally
Hope you got over it, lady plumbing sucks.
