Well, as predicted, our general practioner neglected to send some of the requested refills. We got to the pharmacy and my Synthroid was NOT included. He did give both Hubby and me our own refills for one blood pressure med (we both take it), and there was the beta blocker, but we needed two person's worth (Hubby and I both also take that) and only got enough for one. Hubby tried calling him while we were at the pharmacy, but his office is predictably closed for the day as of 11 am. We'll be looking for someone new, but will first try to get the current one to send what he forgot. If he does, we'll have about 1 month to get a new gp.

I had a wonderful discovery today. I needed two new pairs of jeans, so bought them through Amazon Germany. I was a little worried about the sizing, but managed to get it just right. I swear they are the best fitting and looking jeans I've had in ages. And they were much cheaper than my old usual GAP jeans. I started to feel like in the US I had to buy what I thought of as "old lady jeans" to have them fit, but I found them devoid of style. The ones I bought here are just what I wanted. GAP does sell jeans in Europe, but they are, as usual, overpriced, and they also seem to be designed for someone other than me. Every pair of jeans from GAP is labeled some form of "skinny", "girlfriend", "slim fit", etc. Goodbye GAP!
