Baking and Running

Hello All:

I have been baking cookies as you know…. also running.

But first my current short story assignment.

What has made you angry?

My recent writing assignment:

What Made You Angry

I do not get angry very often, but there is one recent time when that I am embarrassed to say when I got angry.

I take a medication that is not covered by my health plan, so I signed up for Good Rx which is a discount club with a nominal fee, or it can be free, I think.

I have had the doctor send the prescription to Walmart here in town.

It was all going along fine; the price was right and the service quick and efficient.  I really didn’t have any complaints.

Until about two months ago, the medication had a shortage, and so the pharmacy would only give me 16 pills instead of the 30 in the prescription. 

About two weeks ago I ordered a refill, and knowing the supply problem was over I expected the full prescription of 30 pills.….  

When I got there the pharmacist said there were only 16 pills.…. I got so upset and said that I should get the full 30 pills in the prescription.   We went back and forth several times until the pharmacist said that I ran out of the original prescription with the prior refill of 16 pills!16 pill refills…. 

This I did not understand, because I never got the full 30 pills in the first place.…. I left the pharmacist in a huff; when I got to the car I decided to contact the doctor for a new fresh prescription, which he sent to the pharmacy did within about a day.

I belong to a weekly bible study class at my church and told them about this unfortunate occurrence, and they advised me to apologize to the pharmacist.  

When I picked up the medication, I got the same pharmacist, and I said I was sorry for the way I acted the prior time I picked up the medication.  He said that it was no problem.

I felt so much better after doing that and I was thankful for God to bring me to that place where I could show His love to another person.

Running!

I also like to run – I have been running 4-1/4 miles recently. I praise the Lord for the ability to run.

I have been running in the early morning around 7:00 am…. I have been waving to people running and walking and they have mostly waved back.. I met a few people, one lady I see and I stop to chat for a few minutes.. There are two ladies that walk together with two small dogs and they usually cheer me on, I even had a bus driver beep at me because I had waved at him when there was heavy traffic the week before….

Any kind of movement is good for you…. just a walk around the park or around the block will do a world of good for you physically as well as emotionally….

Have a great blessed day!

One thought on “Baking and Running

  1. You continue to be an inspiration Chris. I get “mad” at times but, I’ve learned to apologize more for my actions now, than when I was younger. I still tend to add the “but” after the apology, if I feel I was in the “right”. I’m working on that “but” problem. :=)
