What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Oh dear lord. People on the other side of by cube wall talking about what a scam flu shots are. At least they aren't discussing Ebola or vaccines, I guess.

Well, not childhood vaccines anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's funny how surprised I was that everyone in my office called it a "flu vaccine." Because of course that's what it is, and many of them are medical professionals.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Heh. I call it a "flu shot" because I'm lazy, and one syllable saves me SO MUCH EFFORT compared to the 2 syllables of "vaccine." (But I know it's a vaccine, if that gets me any points.)

The conspiracy theories are totally different.

I need to get a flu shotvaccine, and I'm also ridiculously overdue on my DTaP booster. I should call my doctor, unless the CVS or Kroger little clinic can do the DTaP along with the flu vaccineshot.

As someone on tumblr said, all US cases of Ebola happened to people trying to help. So Republican governors have nothing to worry about.

BAM!

I call it a flu shot. It's a needle, it's a shot to me. Important word to me: NEEDLE. Whether it's vaccine or anesthetic or a draw, it's a POINTY THING IN MY SKIN ON PURPOSE.

Shot.

One word about which I am not etymologically precise, because, reasons.

I was literally confused for a minute. "Don't you mean a FLU SHOT??.... oh, right."

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

So far only Franny has had her flu vaccine, but not a shot; we went with flu mist. Need to get her bro to the doc to get his too. I keep forgeting the ease of going to CVS for myself. Duh!

Is there one place in particular she isn't doing well? can you find a tutor for that subject?

Yes and no. Her math and science teacher is erratic and demaning in his grading and not a great teacher, so she's not doing well in those subjects, but up until this year math was real strength of hers. I think it's more work habits, reading comprehension, and retention.

My kids both got flu mist this year too. I got a shot. Not as ouchy as last year's (where my arm swelled up and looked like I was smuggling a bowling ball in my sleeve).
