On My Hands and Knees

there i was on my way to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription when i realized i forgot to active the debit card for my health savings account. so i dial the number enter in the card digits then it tells me to enter a pin. i didn’t remember ever creating a pin but if i did i knew it would be one of only two possible combinations….neither was right. then i started to panic because i realized the company probably gave me a pin and was on the paper that i shredded because i am paranoid.

so there i was on my hands and knees digging through my trash and piecing together the pieces of small bit of what use to be a real document. when i finally solved the puzzle i read, “the pin will be mailed to you shortly.” go figure.

i still had to get that prescription regardless if i had that card or not so when i went to pay for it…just $10. apparently the old insurance company didn’t mind footing the bill…if i only knew this ahead of time.
