My insurance company is pretty shitty when it comes to stuff being due or not refilling stuff early (for any meds). My pharmacy lets it slide and probably shouldn’t. It is just insane.
It isn't insurance; it's federal law. Pharmacies can not refill RX's until the patient is almost out. So you might have 2-3 days before your RX is up before you can request a refill. It's fucked. My dad is on a whole variety of specialty medication for his transplant and he hasn't been able to receive a refill until the last day. It's ridiculous. They're reasoning is that people are stockpiling medications...for what, I have no idea. My dad doesn't take any opiates. He takes rejection medication (among BP, cholesterol, etc) FFS. But, nope. It's a blanket law that applies to all prescriptions.
Yeah it’s so weird. I don’t get it at all. It is beyond awful. The last day has been my issue for a bunch of meds. I’m just sitting there going “uhhh yep, this is insane that I have to wait for meds until 24hrs before!”
We had these kinds of issues with DS’s K teacher last year. It was with library books though. He would forget they were in his bag and not return them. I can’t believe she sent a note home when you have already asked her about it. I am not a teacher and I am sure they are very busy, but I was surprised that they expect kindergartners to remember this sort of thing.
He can't be the only one that needs reminding, right? Why can't she just announce "ok, time to take your folders out!"
I totally get the frustration, but from the other side, I teach fifth, and I still have kids who don’t hand shit in even with several prompts (both as a group and ‘Larry, please hand in your math homework’.) It’s frustrating.
Thanks for the information. I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension and am very prone to shunt failures, but have noticed that any constipation affects my pain..
Of course I wake up at 4am in pain and check and my prescription is ready.
My DH got rear ended today. Kid that hit him was 18ish and admitted to my H that he fell asleep at the wheel. I’m so pissed. This is the 3rd time in 7 years that my DH has been hit (and I was hit 2x). My DH has never gone to the hospital after an accident, but we did today- his neck and back hurt, and he’s having vision problems. No diagnosis from ER, have to go see an ophthalmologist tomorrow.

Yeah, I do get that, but there's also a big difference in K vs. 5th.

Former K teacher butting in here. For me, no matter how many times I'd tell a class to empty backpacks, things would be forgotten. Maybe the child didn't know the items were in there? Maybe they forgot? Many reasons, but it is all part of the learning process in K of learning how to be a student. I get your frustration, and feel it as a parent myself, but also know it is part of learning independence in school. We cannot check each and every backpack and kiddos will stumble, but it's part of the learning process for both child and parent.

Got it. I wasn't even the original poster and don't have kids so I'm not sure why I even responded to anything. Lol
((( game blouses ))) I totally get the suckiness of the loss of the Christmas season you thought you would have. We are so lucky to have FILs help but our Christmas will be much different than we planned/hoped.
I made macarons last night, which took several hours, and tripled all the ingredients... except one. So I wasted my entire night and lots of ingredients. I had so many other baking plans and I'm so mad I wasted a whole night of baking!!!

I get that too, which is why I’ve had conversations with her in the past about him not always checking his bag. It’s just the icing on ththe cake for issues i’ve had all year with the teacher. I mentioned them in my OP, but she’s put him on the wrong bus, confused him with another kid during conferences. It’s almost like she’s forgetting, or is STILL after 4 months confusing kids. I don’t know.

game blouses a few of my friends from your area are feeling the same way. They've decided to extend the season through the end of January. Maybe that will help a little? I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that. Hugs to you.
I went for my HSG "exam" yesterday and was more nervous it was going to hurt based on what I read. The tech said I'd be a little bloated but it'll go away in a couple days.... yeah a little bloated apparently means squeezing into my pants which feel like they're 4 sizes to small.
I was ridonkulously bloated after mine! Also TMI warning in case they didn't mention it -- you may pass clots. They may even be quite large.
Is there anything you guys need? I know it’s cutting it close to Christmas, but I’d like to help if I could.
That is really kind of you but we are doing ok. I put aside stuff that people sent in September and the boys are going to have plenty for Christmas (we do the want, need, wear, read). We get to do some things but don’t get to do Christmas exactly how we want to since we aren’t in our own place. A small price to pay but I’m a bit sad about it.
My H is in the middle of interviews for his PhD internship. He's super stressed and I'm super over all this supportive BS. It's not him at all that I'm getting tired of, but the whole process is a giant PITA for a freaking 1 year internship that requires us both to relocate our lives and I'm tired of being in limbo waiting to find out where we land. And I feel like I need to keep my feelings about the whole thing mostly to myself since he's already super stressed and knowing I'm stressed is only going to stress him more when it's critical that he can focus and do well.
Add on top of that that my family is celebrating Christmas together this year, without me, and I'm kind of emotional lately. It's annoying lol.
I would not relocate for a one year internship. Can you work something out so that you or he can visit one another once a month or something? I'd rather tough it out for a year long distance than pack up my life for a one-year thing. Especially if it means you'll be relocating again after that, which it sounds like you would be.

That’s really sweet!! We have what we need, it’s just stuck in my house, lol. We are hoping to have our evacuation order lifted today or tomorrow so we can do some last minute prep. Your wishes for lighter wind and possibly rain over the fire are more than enough ❤️

I don't know I've gone back and forth about it, but ultimately I think it's going to be really expensive to live in two places if we do that. We currently share a car so we'd likely need a second vehicle, double rent, and flights out of our small airport are expensive. What I'm really hoping is that we end up in a place we might potentially want to stay long term, so I can find a job and stay there. If he ends up getting one somewhere stupid, we'll have run numbers at that point and see if it makes sense to be apart. We definitely won't live in my current town after graduation, so it would be a matter of delaying my move 1 year or not.

I'm on my third major injury of the year. I was set to get the cast off of my arm January 3rd, and yesterday they called me and said the doctor won't be in and they have to reschedule. I almost lost it because we have a mini vacation planned that following weekend, but thankfully they can get me in the next day.

Oh. In that case, I think I'd probably just suck it up and move then. But that really sucks. I'm sorry. I really hate moving.
game blouses, I am sorry. I just wanted to say, your feelings are valid and it is ok to feel as you do. Yes, things could be worse, but honestly we could say that any time we are hurting for reason or another.
I hope you all get back into your house before Christmas.
I am so sorry you had to evacuate. I don't think you should feel bad about being bummed. It's completely understandable and even if everything ends up ok for you, it's still traumatic to have to leave your home and deal with all of this.
I hope you are able to go home this weekend, and I hope that no matter what happens you are able to have a special holiday.

I had 5th graders that needed reminders. Not reminding him is unreasonable. A huge part of teaching classroom procedures is getting the kids used to routines. Even still, some will need reminders and that’s ok.

Thank you. Moving is truly the worst! I hope we get to go somewhere cool to offset some of the frustration of having to do it.
I was laid off today. It seriously sucks. It was mostly because we were overstaffed, but I was chosen because I'm one of the newbies and because I don't really fit in. I've always struggled with being different. I likely have undiagnosed ADD and possibly slight ASD. People always say I'm so kind and hard working and they enjoy having me around, but they just don't understand me. This layoff just intensifies my feelings of not being good enough. People always say to be yourself and to take pride in who you are, but that just leaves me screwed. They really mean b like everyone else, and not only do I not know how to do that, but I'm rather unhappy and stressed when I try. I'm really thinking about going into the IT side of my professional field in hopes that there are more weirdos like me and I'll be more accepted, or at least that I'll be overlooked as one of those weird IT people.
I'm so sorry LanaLang, being laid off is really hard. I think you are taking this very personally though, I am sure you are a wonderful and lovely person. Try and detach and see that it's because you were the newbie... it's not really about you. Sending you lots of awesome new job vibes <3
