Vaccine

-

 I’m getting my COVID booster shot later today.  Got my flu shot at my doctor’s office a couple of weeks ago, but I have to go to a pharmacy for the COVID vaccine.

Funny how the COVID vaccine has become part of our routine health care.

Could you ever have imagined that in the dark days of 2020?

    I hope the shot went well. I was told to take Tylenol before the shot as some people were experiencing more aches and pains from this year's formulation. Of course, by the time my appointment rolled around, I had forgotten. I didn't turn out to have needed it, though.

    I had the 'flu, COVID, and RSV at the pharmacy, all the same day! RSV in one arm alone, since it was a new one, and I could tell if it reacted. I did have one day of aches (normal arm pain), tiredness, and a 99.5 fever. But, just one day, and it won't stop me from doing it all again next year! Maybe the RSV was a one time thing.

    I never got the RSV shot; in fact my primary never even mentioned it when my spouse saw him last month. I hope your shots go well. I got my senior flu and COVID shots two weeks apart and both went well. I was told by the pharmacy (before the COVID shot) to drink plenty of water beforehand and also take Tylenol right after.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
