Happy Halloween

 TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very happy Halloween.  

Personally, I've been tricked and now I want some treats.  This week, I came down with a pretty strong case of Pink Eye in my right eye.  I've been using some eye drops, and have been wearing my [annoying] glasses since Thursday night, and my eye is slowly getting back to its original color.  But I'm not ashamed to tell you as I type this, I am wiping away tears with a Kleenax: I just finished chopping an onion for my chili, and I've never cried like that before when chopping onions. 

But I digress.  After I get my chili done, and after we watch our church service online, I'm heading up to Walgreens for BOGO free bags of candy.  Don't judge; the Old Man and I deserve our share of Halloween candy, too.  

Saturday Updates

 Well, faithful readers, for the past few days I've been dealing with a bad case of pink eye.  Luckily, it's been quite a while since I've had it. 

The OTC drops seem to be working, thank goodness.  My eye isn't as red as it was yesterday.  But trust me - if it isn't better by Monday I will call the doctor.

Till then, I will continue to wear my glasses, which I hate to wear because they fog up when wearing my mask.  But it is what it is.

Stay tuned.

Tiresome Tuesday

 Today just wore me out.  I hit the ground running the minute I clocked in at work, and didn't stop until after 5:00.  Then it was visits to two Walgreens before I was able to get a prescription for the Old Man.  Then it was home to fix supper, which took longer than I thought.  The dishes are in the dishwasher, and everything is cleared away. Then I had to lug a 50 pound bag of chicken feed from the van to the carport, and then go feed and water the girls.  I wish ( key word) I could go to bed right now.  

Shingles Shot Updates

 Thank goodness the Old Man was feeling much better today, and his bruise is healing.  I'm still having soreness in my arm.  It still hurt last night when I turned over on my left side.  But I'll stop whining now. 

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.
