Pharmacy grumble

While taking this morning's pills, I found that I had almost run out of one prescription. I called to refill the prescription, and, having talked to the pharmacist, I am unhappy with the pharmacy chain (though not with her) for two reasons:

This is supposed to be on auto-refill, *and* the prescription was supposed to have been transferred from a different CVS branch, neither of which happened. In fact, the person who told me that they were transferring all my prescriptions had only transferred one of them.

The pharmacist is contacting the doctor for a refill, and has now transferred that and the other remaining prescription. I'm not quite out of pills, in part because I keep one day's dose of everything in my daypack in case I'm not home when it's time to take them. What I mind is that I thought I had taken care of this, because CVS staff said yes, it's done when I asked them to do it.

Duolingo

I am studying French using Duolingo, as of yesterday. I'm starting at the very beginning, because part of what I need is to listen to them pronouncing the language.

Right now, the gamification feels a bit silly. But I started last night with the smallest possible daily goal, and did a lot more than that today (for values of "a lot" that took maybe 20 minutes), and the software is designed to congratulate the user for things like having a one-day streak of doing something every day.

I decided I wanted to do this at the end of last year, but deliberately waited until after I finished the freelance indexing project.
