drewbear | Vacationary Preparations

So my hosts in Atlanta invited me to come down a couple of days early & I spent the last couple of days getting ready. I took my car into the shop today to get a pre-trip check and they found that my front axle had a crack in it near the front right wheel & though it hadn't broken completely through yet (thank goodness!) it looked close. So I had them fix it to the tune of $270, which was an unexpected pain-in-the-ass expense. I'm glad this was discovered before it blew up on me on the highway, though. Afterwards, I went to my pharmacy to pick up my med refill and had a VERY pleasant surprise. Apparently, my insurance plan has decided to actually start covering the generic of my antidepressant and instead of having to pay $130-$140 for a 30-day supply, it was only $42! I am SO pleased by that. :-)

Anyhoo, I'm about ready to head out; I just have to call the newspaper and put a hold on next weekend's deliveries. Well, that and actually get packed. :-P

Y'all don't get in too much trouble while I'm gone!
