Ali,

Your hard work is going to pay off. Your grades reflect your ambitious goals.

Anything worth having is worth working for. Sadly, it usually does involve a few ‘sleepless nights’ on occasion.

Our minds and bodies will start to feel the impact of not sleeping if it’s continual.

You don’t sound like someone who would abuse sleeping pills.

In the end it will all be worth it.

Ali: Great job! As NeedHelp said, you don't sound like someone who would abuse sleeping pills. You have to get proper rest. I know that I need it at my age.💚

My mother for the first time in my life was afraid of me this morning when I entered her room to say good morning. I had such a good night sleep for the first time in months, I am on new vitamins which is helping with increased energy. Well I stood there in front of my mom and flexed my muscles like Popeye and she told me she was afraid of me. I felt so bad. I asked her why and she said she was just afraid. Oh my goodness, well I will not do that again. Deep breath.

EB,

That must have been upsetting to see your mom afraid.

Your mom is an angel and clearly she adores you.

Maybe you just startled her because it was out of the ordinary.

Perhaps she is used to a certain routine. Could that be it?

Many of us are creatures of habit.

I got my second Covid vaccine this morning.

Yay! I feel so relieved and so very grateful that my husband and I are done with our vaccinations.

I am extremely grateful to our friend who is a pharmacist and gave the vaccine to us.

She is so wonderful! She stays up late every night making a schedule for the extra doses of the vaccine to go into arms so they won’t have to be discarded.

I am especially grateful to the scientists that created the vaccine, Dr. Fauci and all front line workers who are helping during this pandemic.

We are in the home stretch now. Stay safe, everyone.

NeedHelpWithMom,

So glad you and your husband are taken care of with the shots. Nice friend you have. Good feeling huh. I feel good that my parents are getting their second one beginning of this month. And yes to the creator and essential workers. Happy for you! We all "unite" together and we will get past this :)

Thanks so much, Unite.

I am thrilled that your parents will receive their second shot soon.

It is a good feeling. Especially since my husband just finished his prostate cancer treatments.

Well, he still has his hormone therapy left to do, but after that we are hoping for the best.

We are ready to have Covid and his cancer behind us and move forward in our lives.

It does feel wonderful to be finished with our vaccinations!

I have my first ever U.T.I. My mother had a lot of them. My urologist called with my results. Started medication. Last night was a rough one and almost fell asleep on commode.

NeedHelp, I agree with you about upsetting her routine and she just woke up from a sound sleep. I think I startled her like you said.
Great you both got the second vaccine and are finished with them. I bet it is a load off your mind.

Sorry to hear that Llama, hope the infection clears soon. UTIs are no fun and I am learning that the older you get, the worse they are!

worriedinCali: Thank you. I had suspected that I may have had an infection. Specialist confirmed it. You're right that age does play a factor.

LLama, Hope you feel better real soon and get some rest. It could be your last one. I never had one, but my mom has chronic urinary tract infections and sometimes very difficult to treat and makes her feel lousy. I am thankful she can still be treated with antibiotics and not so resistant now. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids especially water to flush out the infection. The best to you.

So far, nothing but a sore arm from my second Covid shot. 😊

NeedHelp, I am glad you did not have more side effects than a sore arm. You give me hope, I am a little apprehensive to say the least, but after reading your post feel better about it. Take care.

EB,

We are all different. Hubby felt a little sluggish and achy with slight flu like symptoms after his second shot.

Hey, that is a small price to pay though, right?

What’s a few side effects compared to Covid?

Sure, some people don’t have much of a problem but other people have a difficult time if they get Covid.

The worst case scenario is death, so when taking everything into consideration, I truly feel that everyone should get vaccinated, and it doesn’t matter which one you get. They are all effective.

Thanks Need Help. good way to look at it a few side effects compared to Covid. I am going to get the vaccine, but I will be glad when it is over and done with.. My mother is on the waiting list to get her second shot next week and I do hope she does well without any side effects. She is a brave little woman, she wants it and is not at all afraid. I am somewhat of a wimp. I just started getting the flu shot a few years ago.

EB,

I understand. I was skeptical at first too. I was like many others.

I am not anti vaccine though. So, I got over my anxiety about it.

Plus, I have asthma and I think that helped persuade me to get the vaccine.

I didn’t always get the flu shot either, because I hardly ever got sick.

My doctor is pretty strict. She pushed for me to start getting the flu and pneumonia shots and I don’t get much of a reaction to vaccines.

I am not minimizing the fact that some people do get unpleasant reactions.

I feel badly for anyone
for that does get severe reactions.

Your mom is precious! She has a positive outlook on life.

I hope she won’t have any side effects. I will say a prayer for her that she doesn’t.

We’re keeping our grandson for weekend. Son and DIL are away for their anniversary. So far so good. He went to bed at 7:30. He usually sleeps all night. Hope that holds true.
