Ow, ow, ouch!

OUCH - one teeny, tiny, little bitty tube of Denavir cream for the ugly, painful cold sores which I still get = $45.00 at the pharmacy this a.m. I don't remember it costing that much last refill but maybe my old insurance had it in a lower tier. Who knows? I'll try thinking of it as a beauty product, maybe that'll be better. Let's see, my moisturizer is $12.00 for 40 grams and that lasts me about 3 months. So, $48.00 per year. And if I have 3 cold sore outbreaks per year, then the Denavir will last 16 months for $45.00. Hah, better already. But the moisturizer is only .30 cents per gram and the Denavir is $30.00 per gram. Holy cow. $12.00 vs $1,200.00 for equal amounts. Like I'm going to care the next time I start feeling the burning, itching, swelling, blistering outbreak?

But what else could I have done with $45?
Gotten 4 months of DVD's from Netflix or,
Downloaded 45 cool tunes from iTunes or,
Bought 5 yards of cotton quilting fabric or,
Had 4.75 "Back Bar" margueritas at the bar & grill and
Stocked up on Tylenol to deal the with the back-bar hangover or,
Got that red leather purse which was 50% off at Macy's last weekend or,
Picked up 18 6-packs of annual at my favorite nursery or,
Spent it all at the Oprah store in Chicago this weekend.

Oh well, I'll just admire my teensy tiny tube and hope the airline doesn't confiscate it tomorrow. That would hurt.
