This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thank you Laura! I'm hoping the coming year will be an improvement ... it almost HAS to be.

In related news, I saw that the vaccines are going to be approved for younger people. (yay) However, they'll need to understand that they will not get a beer after being vaccinated.

Our wings are not tired.

I got no beer, but immunized, which nicer!

I just had to run to the bank and none of the gas stations on the route had any lines. The prices seemed crazy though. But then again it has been years since I bought gas so I don't know if it has spiked. Like $3.15 or something. Seems the last time I noticed it was $2.50ish.

I was happy to get the vaccine, but a number of places now offer "shot and a chaser" to encourage those who are undecided. I think I still qualify for the free Krispy Kreme, although I'm not that enamored of the donuts.

And, in honor of my birthday, here's evidence that you're never too old for shenanigans.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, maybe I will see about getting a free donut tomorrow after my shot! I don't know of anywhere that will give me a beer.

Many happy returns of the day, Toddson!

Happy Birthday, Toddson!

CVS didn't even give me a sticker with my vaccination, much less a beer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't get a donut, beer or a sticker. But I did get a little card which allows me into Canada.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I didn't get a donut, beer or sticker. But I did get a little card which allow me into Canada.

My Band-aid was boring, I was very disappointed. It's unlikely that there will be sparkly ones for my second on Thursday. When the border reopens, though, I will be very happy to have that card.

Ken had his first yesterday and reports feeling rather blegh - sore and fatigued, but otherwise all right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

CVS gave me a greeting card and a 20% off coupon, so that was nice.

I know I said I was going to recycle my good boxes but really I wanted to find a good home for them, and I did! There is always someone getting ready to move around here.

Happy Birthday Toddson!

All I got with my vaccination was a card and peace of mind.

I got sticker!
