goodbye, benefits

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.
