Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary has taken Mr. S to get new shoes. He's needed new sneakers for a while, we just hadn't gotten around to making an appointment until now.(Besides, Mr, S's school is going to a hybrid model on October 5, and he will need shoes for in person classes.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Teppy, that is crazypants.

We had a few relatives over outdoors yesterday for a belated birthday party for TCG. I baked a baked ziti (my best one yet) Mom brought pizza and calzones, and TCG's stepmom brought a salad. And we had carrot cake from the bakery. Everything was delicious, and now we're all exhausted. ltc doesn't have school on Monday, and TCG is taking the day off. So, we have a long weekend.

Our wings are not tired.

It is also possible that they tested her, but she got tested for so much stuff she doesn't even remember. It seems crazy that they didn't.

DH was tested again and is negative. He had horrific head pain when his flight landed and I told him he probably had a sinus infection. He went to the doctor who tested him for a bunch of stuff, including Covid again (his 3rd test) and agreed with the sinus diagnosis. Since he is in doctor's offices so much they have tested him multiple times. It is always good to see the negative. He is very careful.

That sounds like a lovely day, sj. And now I want baked ziti and carrot cake!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Has anyone who's gotten the flu shot had side effects? I got the shot on the 23rd and was okay, but then early Saturday morning I woke up and had those prickles you get when you're going to be sick. Nothing happened, went back to sleep, but I felt kind of blah yesterday and today.

That seems like a long time for flu shot side effects to last.

Laura, add it to the list for when the virus is over. I'd be happy to have you over and cook for you?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I found a new (at least for now) therapist! YAYAYAY! Through Talkspace which my insurance is now partnered with on my plan because their tele-counselor network was clearly overwhelmed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay, msbelle!

That seems like a long time for flu shot side effects to last.

That does seem like a long time.

Nice day, sj! I hope you also have leftovers.

I don't usually decorate for Halloween, but I think I'm going to walk over to Target and see what they have in stock.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Dana, my husband got the flu shot a week ago and was saying on Friday (I think) that he thought he was still having a reaction to it, mainly fatigue and muscle aches.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

flu shot

I got mine on the 22nd, had no issues for 24 hours, then the injection site got sore. The soreness lasted another 24 hours, then faded away.

It was unusual for me, and got my attention, because I normally have no reaction at all.
