We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I got a flu vaccine last Thursday, and my arm still hurts. There's still a big red spot around the injection site. My whole body aches and I've got a fever, or it feels like it. Is this normal, to still be hurting after five days? This has never happened before. To me, I mean.

I called the doctor's office but they haven't gotten back to me. So I guess I'm not dying. Trying not to be a big whiner but I expected it to be okay by now.

That's not normal, Zen. ETA: that is a reaction that someone should be telling you how to treat.

Ooh, that breakfast thing sounds great! As do TJ's pumpkin waffles. I just finished my mango waffles from the summer, so maybe it is time to reup with the new seasonal ones, although I was figuring on actually making waffles at home next time I was going to eat them. Well, gonna be a little while before that decision needs to be made.

Thanks, -t. This doesn't seem normal to me, either. I got a flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine and I don't remember which one this was. Hopefully the nurse wrote down which one went in which arm! I left a voice message for the nurse. Maybe they'll respond to that more quickly than they do to email.

Zen, last year I got the pneumonia vaccine and the nurse missed the muscle, and I had a very bad reaction if the area is red and/ or warm to the touch, you need to be seen.

Oh dear. It's entirely possible she missed the muscle, I don't think I have any muscles in my flabby arms. It's not so warm to the touch anymore, but it's still bright red in about a 2-inch diameter circle. Damn it, nurse, call me back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, I hope they do call you back soon!

So, come to find out, they did pick up my stuff! So I guess they could find it after all and I don't have to be annoyed any more. Weird.

You probably need an antibiotic.

I have scheduled the Got Junk people for three Wednesdays from now. I'm waiting for the confirmation on the movers for Oct 17. It is happening.

Hopefully I won't throw up from stress and anticipation.

I very much hope they have called you back by now, Zen!

that's very weird, Jesse. Good to have it off your plate, however it happened, I guess.

I am still trying to eat my lunch. I don't know why this is so hard, except I did get busy with a project. Stupid hyperfocus, interfering with my meals.

They did not call me back. I'll call them again if they don't call me by 9:30 tomorrow morning.
