Friday's Wasted Efforts

Friday was my day to run errands. We had rain that I thought was coming in mid afternoon or later but we woke up to rain at 7 am on Friday morning.
My errands were to go to our bank, pick up my mom's prescriptions that her primary doctor had send in week before, go by our house in LA and check on things and to the post office in LA to get our mail out of the box.
It was storming so bad that the only thing that got done and that wasn't a win-win was make the pharmacy. They said they only got two prescriptions from the doctor and she could only get one today because time wasn't up on the other one. I asked when it would be ready to be picked up and they said Monday. This is a private owned business and not a corporate CVS, etc. They should have given her the prescription and run through on Monday. Solved. No biggie. But no...they couldn't do that and they couldn't give her 3-5 pills to tide her over. So Monday I get to call the doctor's office to get them to call in the 3rd medication. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the #2 medication but I'll probably get another story on Monday.
I did get the mail and check on they house. But the bank will have to wait.
Today I have just been doing normal chores here at home and worked in the yard some with the hubby.
How was your Saturday?

@wolfgirl569 So far we are doing okay with the rain. Had some heavy stuff yesterday afternoon and just a quick downpour today that did not last long at all. Yay! However, more rain tonight but tomorrow is supposed to be pretty clear. Watch tomorrow be the day it rains all day long...

I worked all day Saturday because I thought it was going to rain. But guess what? It didn't rain. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was beautiful all day long. I was kicking myself all day for cancelling my camping trip and volunteering to go into work. I missed out on a fun day at the river.

@moffittjc That's good! I should not have put off plans for all these rainy days they gave us. Today was originally 20% and when I woke up it was 90% and lunch down to 60% and we now have sunshine. Just one shower hit so far.
I do need for it to dry up though! The pumpkin and watermelon patch is not looking good.

@kareng It's okay, I've made up for it in other ways. I've been doing fun outside stuff pretty much every day.

@kareng it was very productive got 1/2 of what I needed to do done. I finished the rest on Mother's day, so my wife could sit outdoors and enjoy the afternoon!
