Take it Away Thursday

[Doggedly]

Thanks, Bama. I did work out that once my age group comes up for vaccines later this month, I can go straight to the pharmacist for COVID, flu and pneumococcal. I think that starts for 65+ next week. The lady from the medical records place that called me yesterday gave me a link to a web site for doctors accepting new patients that is updated daily, so that will help in finding a new doctor.

It's fun to hear about your weather, as we start our slide into the Canadian winter.

Hi everyone. I got my flu and Covid shot a couple of weeks ago. No reaction to either one. I have had my shingles shots… 2 I think. Shingles shots are known to give people a pretty hefty reaction, Dogged. Just fyi.

Wtg, peaches, LAnn, doggedly!

Done:
Spot clean floors - Tux left me a not so nice chore to do
Scooped litter in laundry room
Fed inside animals, gave dogs cat bowl to lick clean before I wash it, the cats won’t eat the bottom layer of food, the cats got a clean bowl filled with fresh dry and a bowl of canned food to snack on
Decide what I want for breakfast, something light (fruit, cottage cheese or heavier like toast with melted cheese or butter and jelly…) - went with coffee and toast
Coffee or juice?
Might as well decide on supper and thaw something - went with Lima beans and a red sweet potato, hearty and healthy, added sausage to beans, stirring occasionally.
Kitchen - wiped down, unloaded dw
Dug stems out of closet and made a faux fall arrangement for counter
Washed crystal vase to make larger arrangement for table/counter once it’s cleared off as motivation
Laundry:
-3rd load dh’s clothes out of dryer, sorted
-4th load dh’s clothes in dryer, sorted
-load of throws in washer, drying, back in LR
- load of pet beds washed dried and back in place
Log today’s meals
Water
Work up the courage to deal with going in dh’s closet. It needs thinning out but I can’t get in there as he tosses everything on the floor and never goes back to deal with it. I’ll be back in an hour or so with some sort of report as to whether I dealt with a drawer or just laid everything out on his bed for him to deal with - cleaned out undie drawer and filled back up, tossed 3 pair that were worn out
Worked on decluttering dr table some
Put disco ball ornaments on wood tree that stays up all year in dining room, added a Rudolph near the top
Dh got a package in the mail so put it in his spot
LR small tidy, decorated some
Dh’s room - small tidy, mostly moved stuff around so not sure it counts
Spot clean floor again, just spotted another area that needs attention so will get it after I post - done
Cleaned Beau’s ears, he keeps messing with one and it’s dirty, hope it’s not mites.
Lunch
Put touch up color kit on hair - I had bought the wrong thing so using it
Beans are done so removed from burner
Dining room - added faux fall arrangement

Do:
Shower and wash hair

Peeking in again from ds + F's home.

I thought I wasn't allowed to get the covid vaccine at all, but dh says that's not so. His Univ. dept is offering flu and covid vaccines to their dept. faculty, staff, and students. Dh says I can come too. (Since I'm not faculty, staff, or a student I probably won't. . .Dh is sometimes overly generous. ) I'll see my primary in Dec. and ask about it then - if not before.

I got my shingles vaccination + booster a few years ago. I think I did feel a bit crummy after the first one. I am 58yo.

Bama, I love summer in Michigan! I'll take it! That's a lot of laundry.
The bang bang chicken sounds great, L Ann. Dh has made something called huli-huli chicken. That was really good too! I take it Little Bit is spending the night.
Hi Peaches.
Hope you can find a new doctor you like, Doggedly.

That's as far back as I can go.

Later:

-dinner out with ds + F + F's mom who is also staying at their house (We don't know her well; she will be at the house with us for the 2 days ds + F are at the hospital. It feels a bit strange; we are very different people and she's about 15 years older than us. Could be just fine.)
