I Officially Feel Old

Yesterday, I got my first shingles vaccine.  It made me feel old.  But I'm pushing 60, and after making it through the Covid pandemic unscathed, I sure as hell don't want to get shingles.   I get my second shingles shot after Christmas.   Then I'm going to wait a while and get my pneumonia vaccine.  I decided it was best to get all of these vaccines now while I still have good insurance before I retire.

I'm not going to lie - the shot yesterday hurt way more than my three Covid shots and my flu shot.  I got the shot in my left arm in preparation (since I sleep primarily on my right side) and it hurt whenever I rolled over on my left side.   

I'll stop whining now.
