Mochi Issues

-

 I'm sure there is tons of mis-information (** and REAL information - don't get me wrong) going around so I'm putting out everything that I've heard, and experienced, first hand - do with it as you will. 

So one of Mochi's compounding pharmacies - Aquita - VOLUNTARILY stopped filling prescriptions because they were not able to follow the guidelines - they had people filling the scripts that were not eligible.   Now - people are coming at me saying it was kids filling scripts - how can I put that in my body, etc., etc., etc.    

When I was in high school, I worked for Thrift Drugs (are they even still around?)  I was very good at my job.   I became a department head at 17 yo.   I often subbed in the pharmacy department - sometimes as a cashier, but many a time I was behind the counter helping to get scripts together.   Did that mean I was filling them?   Nope.   The pharmacist did that.   But did I label, or count out pills, or any of the other menial tasks that required very little medical knowledge - yep.   Was I unqualified?  Probably by the guidelines, but I knew how to count out 90 pills, so......

Am I worried that my last refill of 3 months is tainted?   Nope - it's still working, I feel just the same as I did last month, and my eczema (which came on after I started taking the GLP-1s) is starting to finally clear up.  

Now - I did try and get one more 3-months supply when I heard this was going down.   These meds are good for 6 months if kept sealed, and 28 days after the seal has been broken.  I'm on a social media sabbatical - but I have gone back to the Facebook group to catch any updates on pharmacy's with Mochi.  When I saw they were filling scripts again with a different pharmacy, but only doing one month refills until they got caught up - I knew I'd have to call to get my money back for the 3 month refill I had requested.   This is how I did that - 

Called Mochi - 1-619-648-1247  

As soon as it picks up - hit 2 - that'll put you on hold

As soon as you hear the hold music - hit 2 - that'll put you on the call back list.

I called first thing this morning, and they called back within an hour and a half.   Not bad.   Customer service refunded me 2 of the 3 months (prices don't change if you order more so that's perfectly fine) and then pushed through a refill for one month - sending it directly to the pharmacy.   Done.   My credit card will be refunded the 2 months, and I should have my refill well before I run out.   

 As for my personal journey - still doing well.   Really focusing on water as that seems to also help with the eczema.   Protein so I don't lose the muscle I worked so hard for.    Weight loss is still going strong, although it doesn't seem as fast as in the beginning, but since I've had very little issues with my digestion, I'll take it!!

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
