Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! Are you looking forward to the weekend, and do you have anything planned? Did anything exciting happen during the week for you? If anything negative happened to you during the week, how did you deal with it? One thing that seems to happen every month for me is getting my Gilenya for MS to arrive on time. This is not a medication you can take when you want to, as it needs to be taken daily around the same time. It is frustrating, but it is also something I am used to dealing with, and try not to allow this to cause me too much unnecessary stress because that will only make matters worse. It might sound negative, but I have given up on expecting people to do what they are supposed to with their jobs, which causes me to do much more work. It is what it is, and at least I only missed one day of my medication and took it late the second day.
At the end of each week, we must find a way to let go of any negative emotions the week has caused. Everyone should be able to enjoy their weekend as much as possible and not carry anything negative with them. Over the years, I have learned to accept we must let go of things we have no control over and cannot change because trying to change things we cannot change will only cause unnecessary stress. If we want to live our lives the happiest way we can, we must let go of anything holding us down. This could mean people, other issues that have occurred, or anything else that holds us down. We might not be able to fly like the butterflies, but we can live our lives at the highest point, but only when we are not weighed down. Negative influences from friends and family can cause us to feel negative and down, but we can let go of those relationships if it is in our best interest.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared and found the quote helpful in letting go of any negative emotions you are feeling. The weather is still changing frequently and only getting warmer, which causes me many issues with dizziness. Thankfully, I have learned ways to deal with this, but it is still uncomfortable and scary. Whatever you have in mind to do over the weekend, I hope you enjoy yourself and stay safe. I will respond to any comments as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa
Ugh. Drug shipments make me crazy. My specialty pharmacy is in San Francisco, and my meds get air expressed to me from there. The plane literally flies over Denver on its way to Memphis, where it gets put on another flight to come back to Denver. In bad weather either one of the two cities (which are major hubs) can experience flight disruption and my meds… go into limbo? Vanish from reality? Who knows; they just get marked as delayed and I have to play guessing games on the delivery until everything recovers. I am required to meet the delivery man at the door to sign for these puppies, so it is disruptive. I try to just knit on and stay calm when, as you say, these meds have to be taken on a specific schedule and it is NOT GOOD to miss a day. It’s not like worrying will make anything go faster, and I need to direct my energy to things that I actually have some control over. Hugs. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thank you! I am so sorry you are dealing with the same issues I have dealt with. I know it is frustrating and can be stressful, but I hope things start getting better with shipments.

It’s like playing the lottery every month when I make the arrangements for the shipment. Thankfully we have been able to coordinate the drugs that they ship to me so we only have to do it once a month.

I love the analogy and think maybe it is time we start playing the lottery. Heck, we do so well with the nonsense with medication shipments, we should be able to win the lottery!
