What have I been up to in the Kitchen? Steaks, chicken soup, an amazing apple tart, some nice salads, three pints of sweet pickled golden beets.
What have I done for myself and others? Vaccines - COVID, flu, and RSV. The condo had an onsite clinic for residents.
Who have a talked to this week? My Sweet Bear, . . . it has been a quiet week at home.
How have We been feeling? We have both had a nasty cough. We are feeling better, it has been a long week.
What have I been watching? Lots of Youtube. Escape to Rural France, DownieLive, Tokyo Lens, The Pethericks, Glen and Friends, Brian's Life in France, and others.
What am I reading? A Walk Around the Block - detailed explanations of the things we walk by every week and never really understand. When that one is finished I need to go back to the library again.
When did I grimace and have to excercise great self control this week? A political comment, by someone I have called an a$$hole in the past, and who continues to prove it.
What have I been looking at? The family tree of my great-great-great grandfather, tracing his ancestry from 1794 back. Back in the 1970s a foundation hired a genealogist to trace his ancestry, the oldest entry is from 1584. My grandmother had a framed copy, that went to my father, and is now here, hanging over my desk.
Who deserves a big thank you this week? The condo staff and volunteers who organized the vaccine clinic. It was fast and easy, and just a short walk to the community center.
I had my covid vaccine a month ago, in addition to 6 others for the upcoming trip. I've had lots of pricks lately.
ReplyDeleteAnd Vaccines too.
DeleteThat's great to have a vaccination clinic organised in your building.
ReplyDeleteI've gone off DownieLive. I am not interested in car racing and cycling and his clips are now too long. As he has been publishing about Australia, I really should take a look.
I wish he would keep the the videos to 20-30 minutes. I think the YouTube algorithm rewards the longer clips with better placement.
DeleteI got my flu and covid shots this past week too.
ReplyDeleteWise to do at any age,
DeleteA co-worker said to me:
ReplyDelete"Did you see [him] at McDonald's?"
"You know it was faked, right? The McDonald's was closed and the customers were handpicked."
"That's not true."
"Google it and find out."
"I don't trust Google."
"Then use whomever you trust.:"
"I trust Fox News."
"Never mind."
Lost cause and he doesn't even know it.
If ever there was an argument for censorship, faux news would be it. The National Enquirer had more facts.
DeleteThat vaccine clinic on site is a great idea. I've had all those shots except the new flu shot. I will get that one tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI was offered the high dose flu shot.
DeleteI had my vaccines, too, and it was quick and easy at my Walgreen's. How nice for you to have it right at your condo community center!
ReplyDeleteYou are rushing us through October as your blog title says it's already October 30th! ;)
Thanks, I will edit the title, I was skipping ahead a week.
DeleteI couldn't tell who I talk to this week.
ReplyDeleteThat many, or someone you wouldn't want to talk about?
DeleteGood on you guys for getting vaccinated. I have to muster insane levels of self control to leave my house, since I have to drive through a sea of Frump signs to get to the main road. Grrrr......

You would find it much easier here.
DeleteMy doctor really wants me to get a RSV vaccine. It is not covered so I will pay 300 dollars for it. But I will do it.
ReplyDeleteCan you appeal for prior approval based on other health conditions?
