consumption manifestation

So, I'm sitting on the phone, on hold, waiting to hear back what the obviously male pharmacist has to say about my dogged determination to get my daughter her three vials of insulin that she needs to survive. Apparently, the pharamcist did the math and belives that since she uses so little actual insulin from the vial every month, she only needs one vial for three months. If you do the volumetric math, yes, you can milk 540 units out of a 1000 unit vial if that's all you are going to cumlatively use in three months. But, if the insulin expires and you are supposed to throw it away irregardless how much is left after 28 days, then you are left with nothing for the following two months, unless you disregard the medication directions and keep the insulin like the pharmacist belives, and then you are using unreliable expired medicine. Stupid people who don't know what they are doing but insist that they are right. Come on! You pharmacist deal with thousands of medications every day, but I deal with my daughters diabetes managament daily in addition to having decades of experience with my sister. If the doctor wrote the perscription wrong, just tell me how to fix it, don't make it seem like I can't do math and want to waste medicine. Make smaller vials then asshole. Geez.

Anyways, I think I have a consumption problem. Perhaps it's a quest to fill some emptiness? Or perhaps an insecurity issue. Blame it on my parents. What ever it is, it drives me to consume. Perhaps it's just being a part of the larger american culture/society. But I love to consume. Food and goods. I like to shop. I like to get a bargin, I love eating junk food, I like when I find something that fits just perfect in the house, on me, or is so cute on the kids. I like buying things for other people when I find that Perfect item. I suppose one day I will have to address this issue, but for now, this is where my happiness is derived. :D
