Priceless

John and I went to his hometown this weekend for a family reunion of sorts. We were exhausted when we returned home around 6pm. His mom called to inform me that I had left my toiletry bag there, in Texas! Of course, it contained all my "essentials" such as toothbrush, makeup, and medications! I figured that I could find a toothbrush here and figure out the makeup situation, but the medications??? AK! I called the pharmacy and they helped me out a little but were unable to do anything about a medicine that helps me sleep. Yes, weird problem I know, but i don't sleep without it. So, it is 6:22am and I've not slept since I got up Sunday morning. I tried to sleep last night but just couldn't. I actually had 2 contractions so that sort of got me wound up and then I could not go to sleep! I finally got out of bed and have been busy ever since. I have gotten so much accomplished and know that I will pay for it today...oh well, just call it practice for when Quincy arrives.

So last night after we realized that I had a big problem we went to Walgreens to get some replacement essentials. We got one prescription refilled, bought my iron pills (found out last week during my glucose blood test that I'm anemic), and replaced two very important items from my toiletry bag...Mylanta Extra Strength and Tylenol Extra Strength. Our total was $47 and I told John that I was sorry that we had to spend this money because I was forgetful. At times, $47 seems like a lot of money, however last night, those items were priceless, and of course, we paid with MasterCard:) I would have paid $47 for a single sleeping pill as well!
