I usually get a flu shot because my employer offers them for free, and for the past several years I've had a parent or parents not in the best of health that I'm visiting for the holidays. I figure getting the shot reduces the odds I'm going to show up in Alabama at Christmas bearing exotic flu, courtesy of my big city, county hospital workplace, for my mom who's down to one lung and is recovering from chemo. Also, since I have to miss my share of work when Annabel is sick or when daycare is closed for whatever reason, anything that might keep me from using sick leave for personal use is a good thing.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Last year I got the shot and got the flu within a couple weeks. I think it was a coincidence, though, that the shot didn't have time to work on me.

Or you're going to be where people are hunting?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
ARrrrr.
Nilly's Yom Kippur posts always make me wish she had offended me in some way so that I could participate in her process. But no. I could make something up next year, maybe.
Then I always wish that I could practice in that way. But I don't.
Hey, if you are the offended party and you're trying to forgive on Yom Kippur, does that also require interpersonal contact, like if you've hurt somebody? Do you have to go to that person and say, hey, you really hurt me but I forgive you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I forgot my money clip at home. At least, that's where I hope it is. Luckily the lady who runs the caf downstairs is gregarious, and even though I hate people I like her. Which means I have my mango tango and my smart water anyway--she showed me her sheaf of signed receipts, each one indicating monies owed. Sometimes having company makes you feel better.

My office GIVES flu shots to the University and I still don't get one. I am 35 and I have never had the flu, and I am afraid to break the streak. I know it is stupid, but I can't help it. Someday I think all the nurses are just going to come after me with syringes!
