Hot flashes are great! I love trying to get back to sleep in cold, wet sheets. Can this cold get over with already? #
dragging myself to the dr. today. cold not getting any better, if not worse. #
Killing time at the dr's office. Probably paying someone $30 to tell me I need antibiotics. #
Business as usual. 15 minutes past my appointment and I'm still in the waiting room. Need vanishing copays to compensate for the wait. #
So, the dr said it's just virus. Just keep taking ibuprofen and deal with it. #
Can a please have that hour and half and $30 copay back? Shakes fist… #
slept a little better last night. no fevers, that's a big improvement. still a lot of hacking, even with cough syrup. #

one minute prescription pickup turns into 30 minute hassle. why is it so hard to process no-copay coupons? #
Jilly aka Houdini got out of her sleeper and onesy, without unsnapping the latter. We're doomed when she figures out door knobs. #
RT @alexlindsay: When my son screams, I tell him to scream louder (he looses interest). When my daughter screams, I don't… because "11 … #
