Office has flu shots today. In three weeks we have flu and COVID.
My inclination is to wait and get them both at once.
Strong like an Amazon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I got my COVID booster right before the new shot for the Fall got approved/released, so my input on when to get what is clearly no use at all. But I got flu and COVID and Hep B all at once and had no side effects, fwtw, not even really sore arms. OTOH, not much gained by waiting on the flu, just less protection meanwhile.

I think I'm doing both next time.
ION, in the dining room we have a guy walking around with one of those Cigarette Girl Trays making mini cannoli. Its about the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. They're amazingly crispy because they're made fresh, they're small so its not a very big cheat at all. I am a big fan of this concept.
So, basically, I left the shot and took the cannoli.

OMG, Cannoli Man is amazing! Our broken vending machine recently got fixed but not refilled. Not the same.
I just added RSV to my next vax appt (Hep B is two doses) so I should be well protected by mid-October. And I am traveling towards the end of October, so it'll probably be good to have preventive measures in place. Feels like a long time since I have traveled, but that's really just by airplane, my epic train month was just a few months ago but feels like ancient history already...

Our wings are not tired.
Now I really want a Cannoli Man. Alas, it isn't an option.

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

I schedule mine two weeks apart. I want my immune system to have time to respond to -- and recover from -- the first before being challenged with the second.

If I were king of the world, there would be a door-to-door cannoli man.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cannoli men on every corner! (Next to the taco trucks)

And the mini chocolate chips he dips the ends in? Good stuff. Not those waxy little bastids, the kind that melt if you pick one up too slowly. I almost wish I'd tried one end sprinkles... are the sprinkles, too, amazing?
That does it, if I ever get married we're budgeting for a mini-cannoli man for the reception. And the cocktail hour. And possibly the service. And sprinkles will have to be good because I'll be all in white what with being so pure and all. Suppose chopped nuts could work for that too.

Nice one!
