say what you need to say

i want to start out by saying THANK YOU to sharon for making my blog so cute!! i love it!

this week has been stressful - but in a weird way i like it when things are busy. at least then i feel useful and like i'm making a difference instead of getting paid to check my email and blog (whoops). so, throughout all this stress, i have discovered that i have an addiction. i used to take imitrex (migraine medicine) only when i had horrible i'm-going-die-if-this-pain-doesn't-stop migraines. but slowly i realized that imitrex works on WAY more things than migraines. it will cure ANY headache! who knew? oh and it also cures hangovers. it really is a miracle. so, i now take probably 2 a week or something like that. anyway, i realized i didn't have any in my purse this morning, so i went to look in my "medicine/anything bathroom related" drawer and there wasn't any in there either! the panic set in. i immediately call my Rx mail service and order a refill. but that will take a week to get here! so i spend a good hour of my day on the phone w/my doctor who tried to call me in an Rx to wal-mart, but they were going to charge me full price ($550!!!) since my insurance wouldn't cover it because i had already ordered a refill through the mail service thing. i even tried making a drug deal with this girl at work. "if you'll give me an imitrex i'll give you $10 or whatever you want really." she was out and didn't have any refills left. so finally the nurse at my doctor's office said she could probably get me some samples. the problem is - she hasn't called me back and my doctor's office is like 20 miles away.

all this to say - my name is mary beth and i'm addicted to imitrex.

in case you are wondering why i'm so intent on getting my hands on this drug - i would LIKE to have a few glasses of wine tonight at our company "social function" (where i must be limited to no more than 3 drinks in a 2 hour period or i will embarrass myself like i did last year), but i'm scared that i'll get a massive headache that i can't handle. i feel naked without my imitrex. so this blog is kind of a joke, so please hold your intervention plans (mara). i have many more serious addictions like pizza and finding the perfect blush.
