I didn't know about Asian food being more salty than other stuff. I LOVE red curry Thai shrimp!

Yes, welcome October! A little coolish today, but bright sun! It's been marvelous weather.

Today's news: I got my flu shot at a vaccination clinic at work today. I could have had a Covid shot too, but all they had was Moderna. I'm a Pfizer girl, so I'll be going to CVS later this evening for my preferred brand. In my study of 2, I never get sick from Covid shots. DH has only had Moderna, and gets sick everytime. I'm not going to chance it! We are continuing our data collection: he is also going to a Pfizer shot this time. We will note if he gets sick or not sick.

That's it. Work was again fine, my weight is nicely steady, and I slept pretty well last night. Oh, and I'm still wearing sandals to work. It's a good life.

We are getting ours once we get back to Florida. We have only had Moderna and I've never been sick on it other than the first time so I'm sticking with that.

Adding to our COVID vaccination databank ... I've had Moderna mostly, but also the occasional Pfizer one. I've never noticed which brand makes my arm sore for a day or two, which is the only occasional reaction I've noticed to the vax. Flu and tetanus shots can also make my arm sore. I don't remember whether the RSV vax last year did or not.

And also for the databank, so far I've had COVID only once in 2022.

Greetings all

It's sunny and warm here. It was almost hot at Scrabble as my friend lives more inland. I won all my games today including defeating The Shark by 100 points. I did have good draws.

After that I had to go on a somewhat dreaded mission which was to sort out some check payment issues relating to studio bills. Its complicated by the personalities of the parties involved; a person who won't let a sentence be finished before getting defensive and other people who let stuff sit and fester for months and then are calling other people who have no power to do anything. Hence enter Diane the perpetual peace maker. I think I have it mostly sorted. Stopped at the bank to order copies of some older checks. There is a small possibility that someone stole and cashed a couple of checks but more likely someone forgot they were received. Oy vey.

So after scrabble I got a taco. Quite good.

So Liz just one more push and you can relax. Hope you will do so.

DD good on you for getting flu shot. I agree Phizer shots are best. Mine were all P except one booster was Moderna and that one made me feel crappy.

GL with tree grinding Paula. Sorry you got shovel duty.

I thawed some ham to have with beans for tonight.

DH is happily watching Ancient Aliens. Meanwhile I must get back to my banking forensics.

Beating the shark by 100 points! Impressive! Maybe you should take on the shark title!

You seem to be beating the Shark a bit more frequently lately...

Yeah, what they said ^^^ about you versus The Shark. You're biting pretty hard lately.

P.S. I saw this yesterday: a man riding a beautiful horse with western tack along the sidewalk in our town. He was not holding the reins because HE WAS LOOKING AT HI PHONE!!!!

I remember the first time (in 1996) I saw a guy in western get-up on a horse sporting a "mobile phone," which is what cell phones were called back then. He had it in a holster on his thigh, just about where his great grandfather would have worn a handgun. It was one of those "the planet has shifted" moments.
