I took advantage of a sort of a spur of the moment opportunity today. I was at the office to take care of an IT thing and only a mile or so from the Kaiser Permanente campus where I get 99% of my medical care. The Long-Suffering Wife had told me that they had a walk-in clinic for flu shots and the new COVID vaccine, so I swung by and found that to be true. I got both.
For the record, aside from the tiniest bit of aching in my arm (mainly only if I touch it, so DON’T TOUCH IT!) there are just about zero side effects. As they say, Your Mileage May Vary, but no fever, no chills, no aches, no nausea, no headache, no anything.
But that spontaneous adjustment to my schedule and the adjustments that I’ve made to free time just in case, on top of the healthy doses of stress and angst from the freakin’ world, plus the usual time pressures from *LIFE*, plus just plain getting old…
It all adds up. I might be a bit verklempt tonight, short a few functioning brain cells. In need of a pick me up.
As is often the case, especially when I’m looking for a prompt or thought for my daily post here, I go flipping at random through old pictures. And also as is often the case, my muse doesn’t let me down.
From a dozen years ago, in Southampton, wandering around town taking pictures in some scattered light showers:
Get your flu shot. Get the updated COVID vaccine. Wear a mask. Look for rainbows. Smile!
