Help
I can live for most of two months in Paris for the price of a Detroit -> Buenos Aires -> Paris -> Detroit plane ticket.
Sheesh.

Last night all I want to do is go home and watch The Shield. I am:
1. Locked out -- forgot my key for the first time in years.
2. My cable is out.
Big sigh.

It was great. I'm pretty sure they re-run it on Friday night.

Yeah I saw the previews and I could tell that it was going to be good. They re-run it pretty often so I think I'll be able to catch it.

The good news: My rickety old backyard fence is being replaced.
The bad news: 1) New fencing is too short to hide the ugly iron spikes behind it. The contractor will think of something. 2) The wooden planters are in even worse shape than I thought, and fell apart when moved away from the old fence. The contractor will think of something.
I can hear the $$$ escalating....

Not that many, which is why I'm at the mercy of the contractor.

Irk. I can't come to San Francisco this week because I have to get new tires instead. Irk.
Rain check, please.

My doctor called in a presciption for me yesterday. I finally get to the pharmacy today and they say they can't fill it unless my doctor calls the drug plan administrator to get it approved. Why couldn't they call me or, even better yet, my doctor when they knew the Rx wouldn't go through so this could have been resolved before I showed up?
Two words: Rite Aid. Worst pharmacy in the known universe.
In my experience, Duane Reade is worse. But in this particular case the pharmacy in question was actually a Rite-Aid.
I miss the days of my local pharmacy, where they filled Rx's while you waited and actually delivered.
