So I went to the health center this morning and got a prescription for more amoxicillin. They give me the slip of paper to take down into town, so after suffering through my film class, I head down to Boots, where they say they can fill it in ten minutes.
Exactly five minutes after I hand over my prescription slip, they kick us all out of the store because apparently some damnfool kid (or perhaps some damnfool adult. An asshat of some description, anyway) has been running up and down High Street setting stores on fire, and the police think Boots might be next. So I wait out in the cold for a while until someone puts up signs in the windows saying they're closing for the moment.
*headdesk*
Hoping that they'll eventually stop holding my drugs hostage, I navigate my way around police barriers to various grocery stores and come back half an hour later. Now they've got a little handwritten addendum to the signs in the window saying to "please knock for prescriptions." So I knock, and the girl who answers says they'll deliver it to me later today. Maybe. If possible.
...
Can someone wake me up when it's June 22nd?

The fun just doesn't stop
May. 10th, 2005 07:52 pmAnd now my eyes have gone all bloodshot and itchy, and I've broken out in hives across my nose. I cannot catch a break today.
I was going to get the remaining 2,000 words of my memoir done tonight, but I'm seriously contemplating giving up and going to bed right now.
Still no sign of my drugs. I guess I'll have to go back into town tomorrow morning.
(P.S. The BBC has a short item about the arsonist downtown, if you're interested.)
