Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
With all this talk of flu shoots, I am reminded to book mine. I am not impressed with Canada's latest covid booster and would like one which is more up to date but it might be worth getting anyway. Better than nothing I suppose. I have had the shingles and the pneumonia shots.
Got my high dose flu shot friday. I think I had a mild reaction, up and down, in and out of the bathroom all night last night. Didn't go to work until midday.
Shingles knocked me for a loop, a couple of years ago now, I think.
I'm told that it's the SECOND shingles shot that generally causes side effects. I got my first Shingrix last month; I'm eligible for the second the day before we leave for a long vacation, so I'm postponing.
Flu shots are not available here yet (next week) plus I've held off getting a covid booster because I've been been waiting for the bivalent one, but I'm not sure if I can or want to do both at once.
I got an offer on my house! A reasonable offer, but will still counter. No it won't be more than what I am asking.
And low baller raised their offer by 20K, still not enough. Will see what they will do now.
I’m praying for my uncle. He’s fine. But he went to the dentist recently (tooth extraction), and he now has nerve damage. The dentist was negligent. My poor uncle. His face is not totally straight now. I’m praying a lot.
I brought him immediately to several specialists (and also to the original dentist). Luckily, they all say there’s a big chance it’s temporary, and will totally heal within some days.
Oh please God, let it be so.

A local behavioral services agency has offered me a tech position. It's part-time (what I asked for), but I can get started in the field. I'm trying to balance between pushing towards achievement while keeping my current basic security and not over-extending myself. So far, so good.
A woman I work with has been out of the office for a couple of weeks. Her mom just passed, now trying to figure out what to do with dad. He has dementia. If course, he does not want to leave their house. No kids live nearby and want to get him out of there, post haste.
Mom had been providing his care. No doubt, kids have no idea. I have provided her information on facilities, actually care homes. And I have offered an ear...
It was a sad, reflective day for me.
I don't know if that is true with internet "trolls" but sometimes it seems so. And when questioned they always have an answer (and quickly).
Just my thoughts.
