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.   

Flashback Friday

It's a little over a week until Halloween.  When I was a kid, I would have put on many different costumes by now, trying to find the perfect one.  Instead, I'm trying to get shingles vaccines booked for me and the Old Man.   That's life when you get old. 

Still Distracted

 I'm still distracted tonight, faithful readers.  But tonight, I'm blaming it on the Old Man.  For the last 20 minutes, he's been switching the cable channels back and forth from the Houston/Boston game to Mash and it's making me crazy.  If I had access to any Xanax, I think I'd take one.

Stay tuned. 

Distracted Again

I apologize again, faithful readers, for being distracted.  Nothing is wrong but I've once again been distracted at home and at work.  

There's not that much news to tell anyway, but I do try to post something every day, and feel bad when I miss.  

Thanks for still reading TWIT. 

Covid 19 Update

 We have four friends that have made it through Covid 19 in the past few weeks, and now we heard of two more that just were tested positive. 

This isn't getting much better.  I'm just thankful that me and the Old Man have our three shots, along with flu shots, and are feeling fine. That's all I can ask for. 

Flashback Friday

 This was my Grandma's favorite time of the year: MLB playoffs.  She loved watching them.  Back in the day, they would come on in the afternoons.  She would make sure supper was on the stove so she could sit in her rocking chair and watch the ballgames.  Her favorite team was the New York Yankees; mainly, because she loved Reggie Jackson.  A friend gave her a Yankees ball cap, and she would wear it proudly when the Yankees were playing. 

I guess it carried over to me and especially to the Old Man - because we've been watching the playoffs for two weeks now.  And will continue to watch in Gram's memory.

A Wacky Wednesday

 We had more than our share of wackiness yesterday, faithful readers.

First of all, once again, we didn't get our newspaper.  I think that set the tone for the rest of the day.

Secondly, something went wacky with the cable - the Old Man couldn't get it to change channels.  I came home during my lunch break and after about five minutes, everything was in working order.

Thirdly, we had a power outage at work for about an hour.  "Just an hour", you are probably thinking.  But that hour was during our busiest and most critical time of the day when it comes to production.

I'm hoping for a much less wacky Thursday.

Stay tuned.
