I have ordered my turkey for Tuesday! So I guess we won't be eating a bucket of twigs after all.

I got up with the intent to run before the next cyclone bomb, but then it poured rain. But only briefly and now I think I can sneak out there and get some exercise. Do I dare?

I wanted to see The Wild Robot but it's down to one screen and a few inconvenient times. Maybe.

I've got to clean stuff out of my fridge to make room for the more food.

Got my flu shot and pneumonia shot! I am now up to date on all the vaccines I'm able to get. Bring on the antibodies!

Our freezer is going to be uncomfortably stuffed until Thursday.

My mother almost bought a frozen turkey this morning with the intention of serving in tomorrow. Luckily, the butcher talked her out of it.

We have a church potluck tomorrow, for which I have made a loaf of bread, pumpkin rolls are in progress, and I frosted some cupcakes that were in the freezer. I am ridiculous.

BUT! I definitely needed the freezer space for my ICE CREAM ADVENT CALENDAR. I'll get it in two halves, so it won't actually be 24 cups of ice cream all at once, but still.

ICE CREAM ADVENT CALENDAR

Genius!

That also reminds me that I need to pick up some cinnamon Graeter's to go with the pumpkin pie.

I should probably re-up my pneumonia shot. I got it after I had a horrible case of pneumonia in 2008, so my 10-year window has long past.

Gee if only there had been an alternative to electing a man this year oh well.

I went looking for the like button on this one.

CDC changed their recommended age for a pneumonia vaccine -- it used to be 65, but they lowered the recommended age to 50

This is good to know. I need to look at all the medical stuff this week since my employer is switching insurance providers.

I hadn't realized you couldn't renew a passport earlier than 1 year from the expiration date. I have to wait until late April. I don't love that.

I am home from the pharmacy; after, the pharmacist handed me more paperwork and said "If you tolerate this all right, come back Monday as a walk-in and we'll get your RSV shot taken care of then." That will take care of all the vaccinations I can reasonably have: my Td booster was in '21, I've had Hep A & B, shingles, a MMR booster after my doctor drew titers and laughed . . . .

Which reminds me, I still need the Covid booster for this year.. while it's still this year. I did get my flu shot, at least, and RSV. And got the shots for Shingles! Don't forget that one!

I've been binging Elsbeth today. Tomorrow I'm getting together with some people from work to go to a wolf sanctuary and then walking along a North Shore beach and look for shells and such. Note to self: bring extra shoes and socks...

ALL THE VACCINES!!

I made it to southern Oregon, yay. My poor dog is carsick and unhappy. And I just looked at the weather and am a bit worried there’s a blizzard and I may not be able to drive further south tomorrow!! Oh dear.

I need to get my Covid Booster and Flu Shot. I'm pretty up to date on the rest of them.
