My bi-annual trip to Mountain Home and I won the lottery!
I wish I could've taken pictures on the way because it is beautiful and they have a huge lake with a huge bridge across it that I white-knuckle every time. But alas, I am alone, so I keep both hands on the wheel! I had to have lab work done and see the rheumatologist or insurance won't pay for my prescriptions. I'm happy to say I am in fine health and while I was there I won the lottery!
Not the Arkansas lottery but I was able to "try" the new "auto-gen" delivery method for Enbrel, the RA drug I've taken for years now. These are worth about $500.00 per shot....so that was $500.00 worth right there and then they gave me 3 more to take home! That is $2000.00 worth of medicine I got for free! So, now you see why I felt like I won the lottery? I am SO blessed!
I also got to visit The Truck Patch, my favorite natural and organic food store. I was able to pick up some items I've been wanting for awhile now like my favorite shampoo and soap.
I also picked up some local honey........
I stopped at a fabric store and got some fabric to make my project bags that I've been talking about...
and I also got this rug kit. I need new rugs so why not learn how to make them myself? Unfortunately when I opened it up at home there were no instructions in it so I called them today and they're mailing them to me. It comes "pre-started" for you evidently to give you a leg up. It has a wooden needle that is threaded with the fabric and all the fabric you need already pre-cut. I love the red. I'll let you know how it goes when I get the instructions.
I had an absolutely wonderful day and the weather was perfect. It's a beautiful drive but a long one and on the way home I stopped at a Sonic for supper. I never eat out but I had nothing cooked at home and I knew I was too tired to make anything once I got there. Since my health report was so good I splurged....I had a double bacon cheeseburger, fries and a salted caramel shake. YUMMO! I ate it all and I was stuffed but what a treat that meal was! I hope your week is going great. Happy Trails!

You did win the lottery, $2000 worth of medication at no charge. You should buy a lottery ticket with your luck running like that. LOL. The material you bought is darling, I like the frog walking wearing a blue coat.
ReplyDeleteA lottery win indeed. Here just being described the stuff is a win, it's one of the more expensive drugs so the NHS rarely offers it :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day and kudos on the savings for you. I love Avalon Peppermint lotion. They make nice products. I can't wait to see what you make with your fabric too.
ReplyDeleteGo you. $2000 worth of medication is a grand slam. I take Humira and get it delivered to my home and I know how expensive those are. Unfortunately, my doctor doesn't do free samples of it. :(
ReplyDeleteLove the rug kit. Stinks that the instructions weren't in there but glad you are going to get them.
Hugs,
Sharon
Lucky you. Congratulations on your win.
ReplyDeleteLucky you. Well done
