You know what’s funny? When your boyfriend calls you on your way to the office and says “You left your birth control pills here. Now, don’t panic, we can find a way for you to get these.” It hadn’t even occurred to me to panic, even though I knew he was leaving for Rochester before I got out of work. Long story short, I got the pills. But not until after we had had this conversation:
Rick: Well, if you have another package at home, you could just take those pills and when I come back on Sunday, you could get these ones.
Me: That’s an idea. How many pills are missing from that package?
Rick: What?
Me: How many pills are missing? Open it up and count them so I know which pill I would have to start on.
Rick: Oh. Okay, hold on, let me look. (much muttering, which would lead you to believe that reading a birth control dispenser entails rocket science) I never had to look at this girly stuff before…there are eight missing.
Me: Okay.
Rick: But I’ll just leave this pack outside for you to pick up, unless you don’t want to.
Me: (realizing that he really wants to be rid of the girly stuff) No, it’s okay, I’ll come get it.
At least I got a visit to the uptown version of Lush out of the trip.
