Last night before heading out for some Halloween revelry, I needed to stop at the Shopper's Drug Mart to get my birth control prescription filled. I was informed that they were all out, and I couldn't fill my order that night, but they would call me today and let me know if they had gotten any in. I got upset, pouted and ranted for a moment, and went on with Halloween.

This afternoon, I went back to the pharmacy, only to find that they could only fill half of my prescription, as they didn't have any in stock, and was then charged for the full prescription. I was told that I could come back when I ran out, and that they "owed me one" and would try to remember that they did so. More pouting ensued, but I was happy that I at least had some more baby-stopping pills.

And finally, this evening, I catch a blurb on the news, telling me that my pill is out of stock, and scarce, in all of Canada, and I realized I was very lucky to get what I got.

If only the chick at the pharmacy had been a bit more clear about their situation, maybe I wouldn't have wasted so much energy bitching about it. I shouldn't have had to hear about it in the news.

There is an amazing special on CBC's "The National" with Peter Mansbridge right now!!! It's about Canada's north...the history, the people, the insane climate change...really, it's a different take on things, and I'm lovin' it.

I highly recommend you check out the website, and some of the links that pertain to the aformentioned television special, if you weren't as lucky as me to catch it on the TV.

Since I spent last night sleeping and watching bad CBC from 4:00 pm til 7:00 this morning, I feel as if I should get out and about tonight. Well, my brain says I should go, but the bags under my eyes and this utter feeling of laziness encompassing me, tell me to crawl back into bed, where I have been for the past 3 hours, and stay there until work in the morning again.

Of course, because I feel like this, I have been given many options for what I could do tonight, with many different people. And of course, being me, I need to choose one and just go with it, because if I don't go out tonight, I'll feel like I missed out on something.

The promise of good conversation and dancing at the pub sounds good, but playing Trivial Pursuit at my brothers place would be cheaper, and alot of fun as well. Of course, I would also like to see my man tonight too, but he wants to stay in. I could wear my sweat pants to play games, but I'd have to try and look somewhat civilized if I went to the pub.

Shit, I don't know. I'm going to lay back down in bed, put the hockey game on mute, listen to Morrissey and think about it. Hell, maybe I'll even do that all night, until it's tomorrow, and I won't have to worry about this silly decision ever again. Or until next weekend at least.
