I'm sorry about the flu shot after effects, smonster. The booze is a combo of pear vodka and Domaine de Canton Ginger liquor.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Yeah, and it took about an hour of lying on the sofa, watching The Middlemen to even manage that.

They made me a pear ginger cocktail that's 99% booze. So good. Now I'm so tipsy. Mmmmm, Ginger and pear.
Mmmm. I had a pear mojito last night that was too sweet but still way tasty. A shot of ginger would have put it right over the edge. I need more pear liquor in my life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never gotten a flu shot. Also never gotten the flu. Every year I wonder if I'm pushing my luck.

Considering I have had the flu a couple of times when I haven't had the shot, I do think it does what it advertises. When I was younger and more hale, a bout of flu didn't really bug me that much, but the older I get the harder it is to shake it off, so I've gotten resigned to getting one every year no matter what kind of side effects I have from the actual shot.

The pharmacist who gave it to me said that following an informal poll, no one she's dispensed flu meds to had gotten the vaccine. So yeah, I'll put up with the weak and the owies and the stupid brain.

Since I was sick for basically all of November and December, I couldn't get a flu shot (I do usually get one, but they turn you away if you're a walking petri dish), so I just kept thinking, "Come on, herd immunity!"
And I didn't get the flu, though that could have been because The Pleurisy was powerful enough to defeat all other diseases that wanted to set up shop.

Steph, I'm just getting mine now due to the two courses of prednisone and then that virus I had a couple of weeks ago. But the word is it may be going around for another couple of months, so I figured better late than never.

I think they've gotten better at formulating the flu vaccines. The first couple I had back in the 80s laid me out with a mild flu for 2-3 days. Having had the Hong Kong flu that didn't last that much longer, I saw no difference in getting the vaccine or not getting the vaccine. These days, about all I get is a tender arm and that's it. More than an acceptable trade off.
