Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! My arms are feeling much better this morning after Thursdays shooting...er I mean injections at the doctor's office. My watch claimed I got NO sleep Thursday and it's not totally wrong.

My left arm started hurting a short time after the the Thursday flu shot in that arm, as usual, but not really as badly as some years. My right arm, which took the pneumonia vaccination, seemed fine for several hours, so I laid on that side for my Thursday nap, and when I woke up my right arm was no longer fine. I suspect that my laying on it may have restricted blood flow and kept everything concentrated in that muscle. By bedtime Thursday night I could barely move my right arm, the pain was really bad, and I was having some chills and hot flashes, with a lot of sweat.

Now the mild chills and hot flashes, with sweat, are not unusual the night after such shots, but along with the really hardened shot site, and the lack of mobility that it caused, I just couldn't get to sleep or get comfortable so got back up and sat up in the living room with an ice pack pressed against it. That helped a little, and I dozed a bit on the couch. Finally, in the wee hours, it did soften a bit and I regained some mobility. I took my serape and curled up in the guest room to toss and turn the rest of the night, so that I wouldn't keep J up all night, as J had to work Friday, albeit only across the hall from the master bedroom, in the home office. It felt to me like I got at least a little sleep but my watch didn't seem to think so.

When I got up yesterday, Friday, I was pretty zombied out but made it through the day fine, got Lilo to the vet, where she got shot herself, antibiotic for the urinary tract infection that I had suspected, and they confirmed, and we had our usual Friday night pizza and a movie or Broadway show. I omitted the usual bottle of wine to go with the Friday night out at home.

Last night, I took an acetaminophen with hydrocodone at bedtime to help ease the remaining pain, and help with sleep. I definitely got more sleep last night, though I feel like I could have stayed in bed a bit longer. LOL.

There is still some residual pain, though not much in the left arm. The right arm is still worse, but definitely getting better. I expect it will take at least a couple more days on the right arm.

Rest in peace, RBG. Sad day for US, we've lost a champion for human rights and justice.

Good morning.
About 48 here at the moment, sunny with a high of 63 expected.
No special plans for today.
I can't wait for this to be over. There's no relief from the bad news. It's just exhausting.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It's delightfully chilly today, and will stay fairly cool all day. I have nothing critical on the agenda but may do a little house cleaning.

I got both cars out for Sunday morning trips, about half an hour each. When I did my car, that half hour was split as I drove to a somewhat more distant Kroger store than our usual one, bought a few things, and returned home with my groceries.

Good morning;
39 degrees here with an expected high of 68. I got out my insulated vest, as work can get chilly, especially going in and out of the cooler.
Vix-A few of the trees have started to change out in the western part of the state. Mid Oct will probably be the best for leaf peeping. I love the fall, cooler weather, the colors, crisp air and wood fires.
I haven't been reading much. I think I read 2 books over the summer. There was a time when I read 2 or 3 books a week.
Time to get ready for work.
Have a great day!

Good morning

We are sunny with a high of 72 today. Perfect!
Jo, the leaves will probably be turning in October here too. Autumn is my favorite...love the crispness in the air, colors, and getting to put on some cozier clothing.
I've been reading a lot, usually at least 1 book per week...often more.
Ed, do the leaves turn colors in GA?
Today is not only the first day of Autumn but also my daughter's birthday...so double celebration!
Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning.
Good to know, Ed. I should go for a walk this morning. It's pretty nice out. Currently 63 and sunny, high of 80 expected today.
Have a good day everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! And it may become thundery Thursday before the clock hits midnight. There is a good chance of rain tis afternoon and evening, with overnight thunderstorms.

Not a lot on the agenda today.

Hello!!
Glad everyone is doing well. Vix, hope your daughter had a great B-day. I never feel so old as when I realize how old my kids and grandkids are!! Nice weather here though more muggy. Nites are still cooler at 60 and upper 50's. We are supposed to have a "cold front" next week with highs in the 50's. I hope so!! Time to close down the flowers and all. I usually get caught as the days may still be warm enough for those stragglers that hang on. Hard for me to pull them, and then I get caught with a frost and am unprepared. And trying to do a weeks worth in a day or two, lol. Getting too old for that also!!

I have been having nerve spasms of my lower back, hip and sciatica this week. I can not get much done which is aggravating. Hoping things calm down and I can get to moving a little faster. I did hobble to lunch with a friend to Red Lobster. They were very well spaced, and also with a low number of customers. I felt very safe, and very sorry for them. I cannot imagine they are making enough to pay for their electricity, even at their extravagant prices. They had no salad products, which seemed weird. But they were hugely generous with their proportions, gave us extra shrimp and biscuits, and everything was cooked perfectly. It was so good to get out!!!

Hi Jo, Ed, and Irene!!! Everyone stay safe and enjoy the little things!!

good Friday morning
