The Flu Shot...

Good morning, Friends...

Well...I did it again.  You think I'd remember from one year to the next...but I don't.  Someone yells, "flu shot" and I'm usually, first in line...no more!  I've had enough.  About a month ago both Larry and I dutifully went to the Scott & White hospital pharmacy and received our injections.  I always tell the nurse we don't want the "high powered" dose!  If you get sick from it...it's not good.  She gave us the "low dose" and we went along our way.  Baby Sloane got pneumonia and an earache...geeez (she's better now) ...we think Samantha was sick with something over Christmas holidays but, we don't know (she's also better now).  Then, there's church.  Hand shaking...hugs.  Trust me, we practically bathe in vanilla scented alcohol.  But that injection...I know that's why I'm now ill.  So...I'll be putting reminders on my calendars to Stay Away from all future injections!  I am well (except for seasonal sinus garbage) almost all year long.  The coughing, hacking...sore ribs...ridiculous!  You get sick to help the body build antibodies...you'd think after 74 yrs, I'd be immune but no...ugggg.  Anyway, I thought I'd let you know what's up.  I haven't cooked...cleaned...done anything.  just sitting and staring into space or at the TV.  I'm getting better now but I swear...no more Flu Shots!  The Pneumonia injection?  I do take it every 10 yrs or so but no more flu shots...ever again.  They are useless.  The strains change even before you receive the shot so what's the use.  I'm done.

Hope you all are well?  If so...stay that way!  I'm sorry if I haven't visited you...just don't feel much like staring at the computer screen right now...forgive me?

See you next week, hopefully.
