~~~CONTINUED PACKING AND MOVING VIBES~~~ for DR Matthew. No two ways about it, moving is difficult and uncomfortable.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep, got up way too late and have been trying to catch up ever since and am NOT doing a good job of that.

Forwarded orders, listened to tracks and made notes and am waiting for a call so we can get these done and to the singers.

Went to the mail place - line out the door - so damn annoying - ALL Amazon returns from which the store gets NOTHING - but I called and they brought my little package out.

Must order some food. Not in the mood to make something here or dirty up the jernt.

Wednesday afternoon greetings! Richard and I have a date to try to get flu shots today. We have to go to a pharmacy, because our useless primary care practice is not making appointments "just" for flu shots.

We always go to the pharmacy for our shots.

We have, too, in the past, DR Jane, but I was hoping to avoid such a public place this year. We survived, but the only person wearing a mask in the store was the pharmacist who took care of us. There were several other customers and a clerk - all unmasked - and the clerk was ranting and raving about how understaffed they and how overworked she is. She was right, but I didn't care to hear it. We couldn't get home fast enough.

OMG. I didn't realize, or forgot, masks are not required in Ohio. I would be wearing an N95 mask for all shopping if I lived there. That is what I did here until masks were required.

Today I wore my N95 for my eye check. With my allergies (must be allergies since a cold never happened) I wanted extra protection for both of us. I find when I feel like this my resistance is down and I am more susceptible to catching something.

And now you know why we're keeping ourselves isolated. There's a lot of non-compliance here, which may be why our county is one of Ohio's hotspots.

Sorry about the repair news from DRs Laura and elmore3003.

Appointment with the kidney specialist (the nephrologist) was alarming, in a way. Nothing specific, but I now have only one kidney, and there is a long list of things that could go wrong. The main thing is, I need to improve my chances by making a lot of lifestyle changes to lose a s--t load of weight. Which I already knew.

Well, there are three good things: you're alive, you know what must be done, and you're back with us on HHW.

I'm closing shop for the night. My legs are killing me, and I have miles to go before I sleep.

More vibes for Singdaw. If you find a workable weight-loss program that includes enchiladas, let me know.

Of course random people that I know are posting about what great, close friends they were with my friend who passed away on Monday.....

Where have they been the past couple of years?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I only found out about mine a bit late. And all of the appointments for the place right near me were gone. I may try for a cancellation. Otherwise i am going early December.

We got our flu shots at a pharmacy a few weeks ago with no wait. Very convenient.

Thanks for all the good wishes.

And now, I want an enchilada.

I ended up with the cholesterol special: beef fajitas with two beef enchiladas in a verde salsa. I am happy.

If I recall you receive notifications with a time frame of dates?

Singdaw, are you a vegan? For some reason I was thinking you are.

John G. · « **Reply #113 on:** October 21, 2020, 05:01:53 PM »

I've gotten to within 65 pages of finishing Les Liaisons Dangerueses, but I think it will still take two days to finish. The letters are getting dense as the noose tightens around them.

If you're looking for some ideas of books with a happy ending, check this out. I've read three and found four to put reservations on at the library.

DR Jane - when I was last on HHW, I was vegan. I had gotten away from that in recent years, but it seems I'll need to return to that state.

singdaw · « **Reply #117 on:** October 21, 2020, 05:11:14 PM »

Which is really not a hardship. I found I adapted easily to that way of eating, and it agreed with me. It just takes a bit of extra planning.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** October 21, 2020, 05:16:40 PM »

I could be vegan if it included butter and heavy cream. And cheese. And meat.

John G. · « **Reply #119 on:** October 21, 2020, 05:16:49 PM »

Onward
