The run-around

I've had quite an adventure the last few days. Not the kind of andevture that I love, but the painful one that sends you to the doctors or in my case urgent care. My cat Captain Jack (aka Jack) likes to sleep on my pillow by my head. Not sure why he does it just that he does. He got scared, thanks to my DH and had a freak-out while I was sleeping. I awoke to Jack running across my have and his claws scratching my left eye. I was scared. It hurt really bad. I ran into the bathroom to see the damage and low and behold my eye was bleeding. His claws managed to scratch my upper eye lid and puncture my lower lid and scratch the bottom portion on my eye ball.


It hurt to say the least. My eye was so filled with blood that I looked like one of the Volturri from the Twilight Saga...NO JOKE! I had to clean my eye out that night then the next day I called to see a doctor but none of the clinics had any available doctors who could check my eye. So I sucked it up and went to urgent care. I got very lucky and was the only one there! That brightened my spirits. I was only there for about a half hour to fourty-five minutes and was out. I got very lucky that the scratch Jack gave my eye was small and minimal damage. I was given anti-biotic eye drops and an oral anti-biotic to help fight infection. I even had my eye dyed neon green by the doc so he could see the cut with the black light. It was funny. So I leave and go drop of my prescription at Rite-Aide and call my DH to have him pick them up after work. DH goes to get them and was told that our insurance doesn't cover the oral antibiotic so I didn't get it. I hop on the phone and call Urgent Care to get them to change the brand and was told that I had to call up Rite-Aide and have them contact Urgent Care otherwise they couldn't do it. So I call Rite-Aide and ask the girl to go so. She says she will. About an hour later I get a text sayiing that its ready. I call to double check and the girl says that Urgent care told her that I would have to go back in and be seen by the doctor to have the meds change. I WAS FUMMING! Then the girl at Rite-Aide says that my insurance does cover the meds just not the off-brands. I asked her why my DH was told that it wasnt covered and why I wasnt told this the first time I called. All she said was that they were out of the brand name and I could either wait till monday or have it filled at another Rite-Aide by going and asking them to contact them and have the prescription transfered. I asked her why she couldnt just do it all over the phone for me that why should I do all this leg work again when they all gave m bad info the first time around. She proceeds to call the other Rite-Aide I asked her too and turns out they dont have it either. So I gave up and said Id wait to monday and that it better be there like she told me. I let her know I was very upset at them giving me the run around and that they should have just told us the truth from the begining. My mental pain was almost worse than the physical at this point. I had two diffent places feeding me wrong info and giving me the run around. This is the last thing you want to deal with when you don't feel well. The bigger problem is that this isnt a one time accurance. Rite-Aide does this to me all the time. I would go back to Walgreens but they're worse. People just don't believe in good customer service anymore. Even in small towns the customer service is just in the toilet. It's sad to see. You have people like me who have 10 tears of customer service and retail experience who cant find a job because this economy sucks right now and you have the ones who dont know what customer service means getting jobs left and right. I think business's need to re-evaluate their priorities and get back to serving the customers instead of pushing them out the door as quickly as possible.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner


I just finished reading 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner' by Stephenie Meyer and loved it! All you book-a-holics and Twi-hards out there should add this to your must read next list! I love how Meyer really commiteted to getting into Bree's character and have us Bree's view of the world. Everything was different through Bree's eyes, even her death. In this book two characters stand out, Diego and Fred. I would love it if Meyer decided to expand on these characters as well. I can tell that there is a lot more going on with Fred than this book depicted and knowing that his story continues theres so much i'd love to know. Things like whats going through his mind while Riley speaks to the coven, why he didn't want to go hunting that one particular night, and a few others that I cant say because it would give too much away. In the begining of the book Meyer wrote a letter to the readers saying how she hoped we'd fall in-love with Bree as much as she has even though we all know how her story ends. I have to say I was already loving her character from the book and movie Eclipse. This book just solidified the fact that Bree would be in our heart like Bella, Edward and Jacob are in our hearts. R.I.P. Bree Tanner 'She never got a change to prove herself or live either of her lives to the fullest'

Thirst by Christopher Pike

I just finished Chris PIkes Thirst series. It was trippy. There a few things that were nausiating, disgusting and confussing. I think that there were too many mind tricks in this series like Pike couldnt make up his mind what to do. Its like when you get writers block your supposed to write down everthing that comes to mind to clear out your head. Then you go through and use only the good stuff. Pike didnt remove anything. Metaphorically speaking it was like he puked onto paper. I normally like Pike's work but the more I read the more I hated. A little advice, if you do start reading this series see it through because its the only way to get the whole story and to feel semi satisfied.

Twilight Saga: Eclipse the movie

I decided to go see Eclipse today at the theatre and boy am I happy I did. The fight scene alone made it worth wild! Seriously the diractor Chris Weitz is completly awedsome. No one else could have done it better or half as good. There wasn't a whole lot that was forgotten or skipped over and that made me extreamly happy. There where only two things that irked me about the whole thing. The fact that Victoria isn't played by the same actress for one. Now the actress they got did a really good job. I just always hate it when they switch actors on me. Just knowing what the original Victoria looked like made me immediately hate the new one. Ok hate is a strong word but thats what I thought when they first showed her face. However now I dont hate her, I just have to retrain my brain now telling myself Victoria changed her look alittle. Secondly at the end they didn't actually go tell Charlie about the engagement like they did in the book. Although it really was a good point to leave the movie at. So hopefully the next movie will start off with Charlie nagging her about telling Rene. I know that I really enjoyed Eclipse. Jasper was awesome! The fact that his role was bigger and he had more talking lines really gave you more inside to him. That and he didn't look so constipated through out the movie was a huge plus. I would have to say that he was my number one new fav in Ecipse. My second would be Bree Tanner, the young girl that was turned into a vampire by Victoria for her army. They really seemed to focus alot on her and the actress was perfect. I can't wait to read the book "The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner" by Stephenie Meyer now to get another insight on her. Now that i've seen Eclipse i've had scenes from Breaking Dawn running through my head like a movie. The Cullens will be boarding vampires from around the world and werewolves that are going to help in the fight against the Volturri. Jasper being the great general that he is will be teaching them how to fight offensivey and deffensively. My favorite part of the book is when Emmit and Bella get into a arm restleing match and then Bella starts breaking boulders with her bare hands. I do have to say that my favorite like from the movie was Jane saying "It's time we either let them do what they were created to do or destroy them...decisions decisions"
