The shingles vax hit my husband hard, so it could very well be that.

David my problem is long term vs short term rewards. Would avoiding this potato chip and the next one help me be not in pain someday? Sure. But would it make my mouth and my dopamine receptors happy right NOW? Yes.
Being on my ADHD medication has helped me so much with this.

At Walgreens to get my flu shot and there are a couple people getting their first COVID shot. Mentally giving them a thumbs up.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Trudy!

We're having the first covid test for my household tomorrow (PCR at the Walgreen's drive through.) Um, yay? Dillo has a stuffy nose and headache and maybe a little fever. The only places he goes are school and the bus, and both require masks, but they also include many, many people in close proximity.
I know we're lucky not to have really even worried about this before now but I still hate it! And we won't have results before Monday, so I have to decide if it's likely enough to be covid to keep him home from school, and how do you even decide that?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You don’t have any guidance from school on that, flea? I feel like you have to assume it could be in til you get the results, but I realize that might not be the practical approach. Negativity~ma
No reactions to the flu shot for me this year, btw, not even a sore arm which I remember as the common thing in the past. I have been taking it easy today because yesterday was exhausting, but that’s just lack of sleep and unaccustomed posture.

meara, if you haven't contacted your colorist yet, ping me and I will give you the contact info for the only stylist I trust. Adi can fix damn near any color problem.

I finally admitted that low-carb/keto really does help my general pain and inflammation levels, so I'm back to it. I am going to go wildly off the rails next weekend because of a long-planned super-fancy dinner, then it's back to being strict.

And I am SO MAD that low-carb/keto makes me feel better, because we have a professional baker living with us.

If we keep him home from school for symptoms that could be covid, we have to show a negative pcr test to come back. But there's not guidance on what to do about vague mild symptoms that wouldn't normally require staying home from school. I guess if he still has them Monday we'll keep him home?
Now, of course, I am feeling vaguely ill myself, in probably psychosomatic fashion.
