We are now protected a little bit! And health bill is getting there,so we hear...

This morning I called my hookup for the flu shot at 10:20 A.M., wondering why they hadn’t called to confirm the eleven o’clock appointment I made yesterday evening.
And you know what they told me? They never call back to confirm; go figure.
Any-who, they said that we should come in fifteen minutes early to fill out some paperwork; I asked can’t we do this now on the phone, she said OK, and so we did most of it, but the young woman stated there would be another page to fill out once we got there and to come a few minutes early anyway. All right I said.

We got there late due to the fact that their parking lot entrance was cordoned off due to re-tarring the lot, and so we had to go all the way around the block but hit into some dead-end streets since we hadn’t been there in quite some time, oops!

Which did make us even more late, but so were they on getting started. We had one person ahead of us, and then it was our turn. Hubby was a brave soul and went first; without much ado but needy of a band aid due to some light blood, which he thought, was a lot and then it was my turn. I couldn’t decide on which arm due to them both hurting, shoulders that is, but my left is worse than my right so he did the right, the pharmacist that is. I didn’t know pharmacist could do this sort of thing. Oddly enough with even the fact that I take aspirin there was no blood what-so-ever, oddly a first for me!

So far, neither of us is seemingly to have any negative reaction, which I suppose is a good thing. And I do feel better protected, a smidge anyway.

Although, for some reason my right upper thigh has been acting up in the daytime, which is unusual; it seems to do that more at night. And so I had to hop, not literally, I actually slowly slid into bed this afternoon to have it go into a less compromising position of being bent sitting or slightly bent as in the recliner, straight out seems to be less painful, and I may have to close this early since it is starting up again in this sitting position, OK?

Today is a sad anniversary of my niece’s death; three years ago today she passed away from colon cancer at the tender age of fifty, less than two weeks from her fifty-first birthday on the twenty-sixth; of this month of October.
She was something else, as my dad would have said, and you are being thought of too, all of my loved ones that have gone to I hope a better place.

Good night to all and to all take care, be safe and count those blessings and I will think about new locations of where mine may have gone.
