A story told by timeline:
1:12pm - Called my Target Pharmacy wondering why I haven’t gotten a phone call about my auto-renewal. Learned that I used the last refill on my birth control, and they contacted my doctor’s office on the 13th, with no response. Panic sets in, I need these pills on Sunday… Monday at the latest. (Why I’m dumb… I should have KNOWN this was my last refill. AHH.)
1:14pm - Send a renewal request online to my Doctor’s office in a panic, because it is the afternoon, and they do get busy.
1:15pm - Request an appointment for my annual physical, for good measure. I didn’t have one last year, and asking for renewals TWICE without an appointment is kind of pushing it.
1:23pm - I receive a response about the appointment. (Damn, this office works fast!) It’s not until March. Okay, I’ll live, but what about my prescription!!??
1:36pm - Call mom to ask how bad I’ll spaz out if I don’t have my pill for next month. She doesn’t answer.
2:49pm - Mom calls back, says I’m screwed, and my skin will go bananas. (Yes this is true, it’s not cute at all.) Also says I should be fine starting the pills again mid-month since I’m not taking it for birth control, I’m taking it to regulate my ridiculously powerful hormones, so if I miss it for too long, my body will go hormonally-imbalanced crazy. Moms know everything!
3:10pm - I receive a response about the prescription. Approved! AND sent to Target. Crisis averted, as they are open and filling prescriptions 7 days a week. (This is my official endorsement of Target pharmacies. They have AWESOME hours, and auto-refill. And they are super-nice at mine.)
Now I just have to wait until Target calls to tell me it’s filled! YAY!
