Quickly/0% discount/and…

 Blacky Cat doesn’t care, but I have to brag about this to someone, and you’re  nominated.

I got an email from one of the survey companies I’ve been doing surveys for for a dozen years – coupons for money off cat sand – you know, litter box material.  I don’t usually, but I clicked on the notice. (it’s for a big name brand, and I usually buy the cheapest stuff I can find, lately at Wal-Mart, $2.73 a 20lbs bag.  The cat doen’t care much, I don’t think, but my wallet does).

Anyway, I clicked on the site and found coupons galore and printed out the ones for coffee – a vital ingredient of my life.  Brousing through the other coupons, I found one for "up to 75% off Prescription medicines".  Damn.  I wish I had found that last week….

I took a walk up the street to my bank, with a check that came in the mail, and, as I was walking, I thought, "I should call Wally world and see if they’ll apply that discount!"  Last week, I bought my cat his insulin, at $110.00 for that little bottle (oh, but it lasts and lasts and last some more, at 4 units a shot, twice a day.  In fact, it hasn’t run out yet – maybe tommorrow??) and paid full price for it.

I walked back from the bank and got the bottle out of the fridge and called the number on it, and the asian woman who has helped me before knew who I was – or rather, who my cat is, lol, and she said "We probably can’t give you 75% off that presscription, but bring it in and we’ll see what we can do."

I’m on my way, right after this posts.  Some % off is better than none at all!  Stay tuned – if it’s really good, I’ll brag about it let you know.

Damn.  No bragging.  In fact, it was a waste of time and gasoline, in rush hour traffic, behind people you’d think had never driven in rain before.

In other words, grrrrrrrrrrr.

But, I suppose I shoud look at it as practise for being "nice" – at the Wal Mart, not the idiots on the road. (typing that, I guess I do need that practise too).  There was a big cloudburst of rain just as I left – I guess I shouldn’t have left the sliding glass door open….

But there’s no water in the apartment, so "it could be worse".

Insulin is (*^)*( expensive.  "We already sell it at the lowest price" she said.

I suppose I should be grateful I don’t have to use it myself.

And just before I left, I emailed K* and told her that I was 21 hits short of 119,000 page views of my diary.  When she was here last September, I had just hit 96,000 page views – that was  something to brag about. "Look how popular I am!"  ha ha ha.

 I got a reply to that email from Japan, saying congratulations, but you’ve probably passed by now… and indeed I have – 119,011 when I looked a few minutes ago.

23,000 page views since September 12th, 2010.

Ok, I’ll brag about that.
