I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got my flu shot last November. However, I also hear the match between the shot and this year's version of flu isn't quite as good as it could be.

That's right, it was a whooping cough shot I got.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Husband just got an update on his TDAP too. There is definitely a pertussis outbreak in WA.

I forgot to get a flu shot and now I am worried that it is Too Late!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was a news story last night on the flu so today there's been a run on shots. Am in line-I think there'll be shots left for me.

I got my flu shot a while back (thank you asthma). But today my head is slowly progressing to feeling like a bowling ball. I have too much to do to be sick, flu/cold/otherwise.

KCDW has been fantastic today. Right now she is at the laundromat with a bunch of stuff from CJ's room. K-Bug is going to join her in a bit (she is babysitting at the moment).

I'm just slamming tea and working.

I'm at a pharmacy so insurance won't pay. So I paid $36 rather than go to a clinic.

Check out Google's Flu Trends page. Yikes!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, in other vermin news, DH destroyed a rat's nest in the backyard yesterday. Rat skedaddled, but today he's back and refusing to cede his territory. I can hear him testing out various walls and such outside, looking for an entrance. I am completely creeped out by it and hope that DH is braver than I because it looks like one of us is going to have to kill it.

I once found a rat's nest in the bottom of a corn crib. There was a momma rat and her babies.

I grabbed my favorite barn cat and showed the nest to him. He ate the babies.
