Takin' Care Of Business

Linda was working today at the school, so Stacey and I were on our own. We had some business to take care of in town. We drove to town and I parked and went in the Post Office. I had so many tax forms in the envelopes, I knew that a regular stamp would not be enough, so I took them to the Post Office and had them weighed and postmarked. That way there would be no doubt as to the correct postage. Next we stopped in front of the new Justice Center. Stacey and I went inside, stepped through the metal detectors and up to the County Clerk's counter. Stacey had been placed on a list to serve for jury duty and we had stopped a couple of weeks ago and filled out forms to have her removed. I told the clerk that Stacey's name had been printed in the newspaper to serve, and then reminded the clerk about us filling out the papers and she checked the list. She said that Judge Hurt had requested that a Doctor's excuse be submitted. Hmm, ok, we went to Subway and ate lunch and then to the movie shack. We found nothing interesting to rent, so we headed on down to Dr Rice's office and asked for them to fill out an excuse for Stacey. They said to come back later in the afternoon to pick up the paper. We came back home and did some house work. About 1:30 we loaded back into the truck and went to the grade school and picked up the prescriptions Dr Zhu had written for Stacey last Thursday. We then drove to Dr Rice's office and picked up the paper for Stacey's excuse. I then went to the new Morgan's Medicine. It is a pharmacy that was opened recently by the pharmacist that was working at Rite Aid, where we were getting Stacey's pills. Mike told me he might not be able to file a claim with BCBS Insurance and he would need to check before I left the prescriptions. Hmm, now what? I told him I would wait and see if he could work it out with BCBS before I would leave the prescriptions. We went back to the Justice Center and turned in the excuse. The clerk told me to call Judge Hurt's office on Thursday to find out if Stacey was excused from jury duty. We headed home again, but at Sadie and Bob Smith's driveway we saw a car stuck with the rear wheel hanging over a culvert. We stopped and as we were getting out the sheriff stopped too. We stood and looked and then I decided to go home, get the snatch strap and the big truck and go back and pull her out. I drove home, traded trucks, left Stacey home and I went back. A couple more people had stopped, and the woman said she was going to wait on her husband to get there. We agreed to wait, so when he got there we used the snatch strap and pulled her out of the ditch. She thanked everyone and I came home.
