goodbye, benefits

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Ottawa, 2017.07.19

It seems my drug benefits plan has expired - who knew my migraine drugs would cost $240! I found out the hard way by coming down with a migraine mid-morning while at the office while away from home. I have some of my meds stashed at home and at the office but somehow forgot to pack them for the trip. I called my pharmacist, he told me to give his number to any pharmacy in Ottawa, and in an hour my proverbial wallet was that much lighter.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
