The local pharmacists are united in their unhappiness at the games the mail order pharmacy plays. Apparently it is a common complaint that they put a large shipping charge on them to get them promptly. Consensus is to call 2 - 3 days prior to the next prescribing appointment and find out the status of their supplies.

Revisiting the hall closet reveals a very tattered Eddie Bauer parka purchased in ~ 1979. Time to retire that to the sewing room for parts; the zipper and a few other parts can be reused, but the lining is shredded and the cuffs are incredibly frayed. I saw an ad for a nice parka on Instagram today, meaning I'll ignore that and look at my usual places first. And possibly even the thrift store, because they sometimes surprise me with the great stuff they have. That was a men's medium jacket and it's roomy, and it looks like a large women's will fit about the same. I like to have a layer or two under the parka in cooler weather.
