today is a no good, very bad day

I should have known...it is a Monday...but let me describe Sunday as I think it will help you understand where i am right now:

Karen pulls up to the Wal-Greens drive through to pick up her meds, that she ordered 3 (yes, 3) days ago.
Karen: I'm here to pick up three prescriptions
Pharmacist: Um, I'm sorry - one of your prescriptions is not filled. we don't have it in stock. We can give you the brand name. would that be okay? it will just cost you more
Karen: that's fine. I need it - I have no pills to take tonight.

Wait 2 minutes

Pharmacist: I'm sorry - we don't even have the brand name.
Karen: Well, call another pharmacy and get it.
Pharmacist: Actually, it has been backordered for the last month and we can't seem to get any. There are none in Houston.

Karen in her head: Houston is a very big place. You are telling me there are none in this city that is the 4th largest city in Houston? or are you just lazy and don't want to call and try to find it for me?

Karen: and no one called me three days ago when I called in the refill and you didn't have it? I need the pills. What should I do?
Pharmacist: call your doctor to call in another prescription.

Karen (in her head): LADY, it is Sunday at 1 pm. There is no way I am going to track down my doctor and get a new prescription for another type of drug that you will be able to fill before you close at freaking 6 pm.

Karen: I will try, but what am I supposed to do for tonight?
Pharmacist: I can give you two pills to take tonight.
Karen: Thanks.

So, I email my doctor who is awesome and calls in my prescription (which didn't happen till after they closed, like I expected) and I had to then have it transferred to a 24 hour pharmacy so I have drugs to take tonight. Anyway, so I take the two pills she gave me (which were the brand name - and let me remind you I take the generic).

I wake up this morning and don't feel "right". I'm not sure what the deal is - I slept 8 hours. And then it has gotten worse all day long. I can't concentrate, I feel like an I can't breathe nearly as well, and I feel like I am totally in a fog. This is kind of how I started feeling when I took the medicine the first time, so I am totally guessing that is what it is.

So, now I am mad at the pharmacist for making me switch, making me feel like crap all day, and if I have to change meds again tonight, well, crap, let's just go ahead and chalk up tomorrow for a loss as well because I am absolutely sure this will wreck havoc on my body.

*sigh*

Add to that the stress of trying to get a job done, where you are about 80% complete and it seems that the last 20% is just unattainable. And my staff are all getting sick (and are just plain exhausted). And let's just say nothing has gone my way...ALL DAY LONG.

This is going to be a rough week. I can just tell.

So, say a little prayer not just for patience, but also just to keep it together. This has been a record so far for no crying at work during busy season, and I almost lost it today. But I didn't. I actually kept it together -- for those of you who know me well, you know that it is EXTREMELY hard for me not to cry when I get really worked up. And say a little prayer for my body to respond the the medicine without knocking me out.
