feel horrible
Sep. 9th, 2004 12:34 amRemembering why Pepcid AC is such a shit drug. It does nothing for heart burn like mine (the valve between my stomach and esophagus doesn't close). Prilosec is having some kind of production problem and I can't get it here (still waiting on a friend to MAIL me what she found). No way around it tomorrow, I have to go to Walgrens and toss down the 150$ for Nexium. I would have gone back tonight. THIS Walgren's is 24 hr but the one in FL isn't so they couldn't prove I have a RX. Nothing like sitting here spitting up cupfuls of blood slicked yellow acid (there's an image for the flist) in so much pain I can't even breathe. Already taken double the max of Pepcid and Tums and have moved on to pure baking soda. Guess I won't be sleeping tonight. It's making me far more disagreeable than normal.
So of course I decide to call Dell tech support for two problems including the fact my task bar suddenly sprang into the middle of the screen yesterday and I managed to tame it to the top of the screen, then the side but NOT back on the bottom where it belongs. THe other problem is I keep getting you're out of virtual memory close out a window message. Um I have ONE window only open. After being on hold for over an hour (reminding me once again why I'll never buy Dell again), I get someone who trying to fix the memory problem has to put me on hold 5 times to ask if he was telling me the right thing. Needless to say I didn't take his suggestions. I decided I'll ask IT friends of mine instead. He also doesn't know how to fix the task bar so I ask what if I just system restore? Oh yeah, that'll work and it did. Fine. An hour and half and I'm the one who solved my own damn problem.
