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.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

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.
