How to Get Your Prescription in 11 "Easy" Steps!

Step 1:  Get prescription from your doctor(s).
Step 2:  Wait for vacation because you work 9 hour days and don't have time to get your prescriptions in your daily life.
Step 3:  Go to pharmacy that only serves hospital staff.
Step 4:  Get your mother's prescriptions at a CVS, but save your prescriptions because you have Target pharmacy coupons (and have used Target pharmacies before).  
Step 5:  Go to a Target that does not have a pharmacy.
Step 6:  Return home from vacation.
Step 7:  Go to a Target with a pharmacy, but learn that one prescription must be ordered so you'll have to come back.  Take back prescriptions because this isn't a convenient Target to get back to.  Also learn that your Target pharmacy coupons are expired.
Step 8:  Skip the gym to go to a convenient Target.  Drop off prescription. 
Step 9:  Go back to convenient Target a few days later (after that one prescription should've arrived) after a doctor's appointment.  Learn that prescription wasn't filled because your insurance changed prescription plans at the beginning of the year.  Wait 20 minutes while they try to get your insurance information correct.  Leave with assurance that prescription will be filled within the next day or two. 
Step 10:  Go back to convenient Target on your one day off every two weeks.  Learn that the ordered prescription was for a gel, but Target got a cream.  The pharmacist will not give out the cream until the doctor okay's it.  Super-nice pharmacist calls the doctor right then to get approval. 
Step 11:  Get your prescriptions!
