Tornado warnings everywhere. Had 2 pm service.  Gonna relax at home..

Google says it is because CVS is owned by a pharmacy benefit manager. Apparently it is a conflict of interest for a pharmacy benefit manager to own a pharmacy that sells the drugs the pharmacy benefit manager is arranging.

From Google:

A Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) is a company that manages the prescription drug benefits for health insurers, Medicare Part D plans, large employers, and other payers. They act as a middleman between companies pharmacies, drug manufacturers, and insurance , negotiating prices, processing claims, and setting up pharmacy networks.

Basically this yes. A PBM is who manages the "drug" part of your insurance coverage. Thus pharmacy benefit management. So when you go to the pharmacy for Drug A and the pharmacy enters the info into their system and runs it thru your insurance....oh wait...this drug isnt on your formulary plan (the approved drug list bartered between your job and the insurance) so it's not covered. You can either pay full price $857.37 or call your DR and get Drug B or Drug C as they are approved drugs.

This is what I do. lol I work for the PBM now. Thankfully I don't have any clients in AR.

Bout near tired of these rampant tornados. I've read 5 touched down Saturday night across WTX and OK.
Thank goodness none in Ardmore, but one was in Ada (very close). Lordy... between the wind, tornados, and state tax, I am OVER living in OK. lol

Woke up Sunday AM with scratchy throat. By the afternoon, I was congested. Today I woke up with it in my chest. It's hard to take medicine that will help you when you are on BP meds, haha. Hoping today I can start the uptick. Thankfully at least the congestion pressure isn't horrible today even tho I do have a slight headache as well. Took some Mucinex this morning to see if I could get some productive cough at some point. We shall see! I did sleep better last night than I had the previous night. That's a blessing! haha.

Are you guys also in that awkward temp where you can't quite keep it cool enough or warm enough at the right time in your house? Part of our sleep issue the past two nights is because it's just too warm in our room. I can't sleep with the fan right on me right now because of the head cold/sinus stuff. I'll be GLAD when the weather figures itself out.  Plus if it could leave the storms aside, that'd be great. Rain shower all you want, just leave the hail and tornado alone. lol

I keep it cold and use a really good comforter to modulate through the night. The colder it is, the more of me is covered. The warmer it is, the more of me comes out from under the comforter.

[Roscoe]

Yeah, it is hot- then cold here too. Trying to motivate myself to start on Chey's tile. Rusty is shiny with a new coat of clear coat over his battle scars- he gets one every few years, to keep him looking respectable. And tomorrow is Lou's 42nd birthday. And the only clue I have that she would like is a perfume she mentioned to Chey.
She has everything except a maid- not gonna happen cause I don't like people prowling through my house- and a dishwasher (no place to put it).
I'm easy. Buy gun or car parts. Lou- not so much.

[MsJennJenn]

Decided to take Friday/Monday off. Decided a few days off just cus was needed. And lord knows I have plenty of PTO.

It stormed early this morning. Supposed to do that the remainder of the week, not looking forward to that.

I am being conflicted with some sort of hives again. IDK what's going on but I hate it. 

[Roscoe]

I totally WANT to take off a few days. But I know 1) everyone on my caseload will screw up and cause me ten days of work for every one day I am off and 2) as sure as I do, that'll be when it rains, snows or sleets AND my arm or hip will suddenly become 100 years old and ache.
So I go to work and grumble about how bad I'd like to be off.

[Roscoe]

Back a hostage again.
At least my shoulder isnt as bad as it has been after they prayed for it last night

[MsJennJenn]

We had a big storm early AM. But it's done now I think. It's storms off and on again all weekend per the weather app. Boooooo. But I know the rain is useful.

I just found chocolate whipped cream in a squirt can at ALDI. I did not need chocolate whipped cream, but it came home with me anyway just because I was curious. It's yummy. It kinda tastes like a chocolate mousse.

I need that. I had no idea it was a thing, but Id totally chug an entire can just based on your description

[Lynx]

I've seen that before. And chugged that before. All in one sitting. And I decided to never, ever, ever buy that again, because I chugged it all at once.

[Roscoe]

Shew. Today was busy. Qualified my office on shooting. Ran errands. Did Jail visits. did mucho paperwork. Came home to find Rusty's wheels and tires were delivered. Went to dinner with Lou and Chey, ran by Walmart, came home and test fit the wheels, then painted them.
 Now tomorrow is my day since Lou is gone to a ladies' tea with Chey. So, I will get up, go have the new tires mounted to the new wheels, come home and install them, and go check on a church member in the hospital. Mulling on Sunday's sermon already...
Rest is never gonna catch me.

As is by now customary, I got tired just reading that.

On Fridays and Saturdays I clock out at noon. The auction does not start on Saturday until 5:00 p.m. this is problematic as the auction is in the same town as my job, and my house is a couple towns away.

I have spent a few hours at my job, sitting in the lobby, playing fallout 3 on a laptop.

[Roscoe]

Well. Tires mounted. Rusty looks amazing. And I did go visit my sick saint, but I enjoyed a day to myself puttering backroads taking pictures. I then came home and...worked. Shew.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I'm at a point in my life that no one wants to be. My hubby of 42 years collapsed last night. I call 911 but they couldn't revive him. 

[mini]

I'm so sorry. My heart breaks for you today. Prayers for you and your family.

[Roscoe]

So sorry Fuzz. We are praying for you and your family..

[Nelle]

I am so sorry! Praying for you and your family!!

[Roscoe]

Morning. On the road to osceola to pick up one. Soooo tired.

[MsJennJenn]

Oh Sandra. I cant even imagine. I'm so sorry. To Chel and Dina too. Praying for you all. 

[Roscoe]

Hi.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Y'all, I have no idea what I'm doing at this point. Please pray for me to have direction and wisdom.

[mini]

I know what you are going through Fuzzy.  Praying for you.
