I got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago~ I've had influenza type A two times in my life, once when I was 24, and once when I was 36. That's when I started getting the flu shot religiously, I never want to be that sick again! They offered a Covid shot at the same time, but I was too chicken. Maybe for the best. I've had Covid 3 times, and I get all the boosters, so I'm another anecdotal story. I'll still get the booster eventually. I have so much exposure, so I'll take whatever antibodies I can get. I still need to get the shingles vaccine, and the one for RSV. I will be a pin cushion too!

I enjoyed sitting outside at a bourbon and cigar event last night with some friends and DH. Liz is right, it certainly took the edge off! I was tired today, but I'm usually tired by Thursday anyhow. So I'm glad I went.

Today I met a friend after work for an early dinner. She retired at the end of school last June, and is very happy. It was good timing for sure. She gives me hope :)

Some plans for the weekend. We're going to a Gilbert and Sullivan Opera. One of my dear friends from high school is the lead. I will take every opportunity to see him perform. Fun fact, he was the soloist at our wedding.

BFF's DIL's father passed away ( her son and DIL live in Minneapolis). We are planning on going to the father's memorial gathering on Sunday. It's at a park pavilion, so, outside I think. It's going to be cold. 30s.

Did I mention that DH added WW to his efforts to lose weight? Coupled with the Wegovy, he is losing much faster than he was. He says the Wegovy makes it a lot easier to follow the plan.

Great planning by DH!
