Medical matters

Signs you are middle-aged ... and then some: After a little wrangling with the insurance company, we finally were able to fill all our prescriptions through December. The folks at Target Pharmacy were great and now know us and all about our trip. We dropped about $500 there on all the meds. We get the bottles home and of course, they have to go in a carry-on bag. I put everything in large plastic bags and almost completely filled a whole suitcase. We look like smugglers ... or geezers. Tonight we have done a little more packing. As we were filling the bags, Mocha watched with a very sad expression. I think he knows we're doing something out of the ordinary. In 48 hours, I'll be snoozing across the Atlantic.
