Three H: Holy, Healthy, Happy

As I may have mentioned in a previous post, I rescheduled my last weigh-in because I was busy and didn't have the funds for the appointment at the end of the month. (They don't accept insurance, but I can file for a reimbursement on my own.) Rescheduling put me going without some of my medications for a few days. I get the Synthroid at my preferred pharmacy since insurance will reduce my copay, and I was able to get an "emergency" supply from them to cover me for 3 days until I had my appointment.
