Saturday, at 4:30 and 4:45 pm was what I thought I had scheduled for the booster shots for my favorite wife and I. We went to the drug store that begins with a “W” and stood in line for a while where we learned that we had not been scheduled.
Departing from the drugs store we went to Wally world to get a couple rollers for painting, when we decided to see if we could get the booster shot there even though we had not scheduled an appointment.
We arrived at the pharmacy and there was one person getting a shot, there was no line, so we asked if it would be possible for us to get shot. They were very nice, we had to fill out some forms and show that we had received the two original shots, 6 months earlier. We both got our shots, and it was kind of different from previous shots. The dose was half the original dose, the shooter, clean the spot on our arm, and then applied a round band aid. She then gave the shot through the center of the band aid.
Leaving the shooter (aka shot giver), we went to the paint department to acquire paint rollers. As luck would have it, we found another item that my first wife just had to have. There was an adjustable roller handle that went from 5 feet to 10 feet long. That may be a big help in painting, and it may be a problem too. To paint, one needs to get the paint on the roller. Using the 5-foot handle isn’t a problem but extending the pole will make it more difficult to get paint on the roller. It will be difficult to see if the roller is in the paint 10 feet away.
Speaking of painting, yesterday I was allowed to paint and area on the north end of the Homestead. Yep, I did a nice job. I also picked up the debris out of the back 40.
Since no one asked, I did see that same star this morning and I did not see any other stars. One should know, it was just before sun rise and the sky was beginning to lighten up a lot. The star did not seem to be blinking this morning.
I know everyone is wondering, yes, after the shots were administered and we completed the shopping, we arrived at home, where we did get to sit outside for about an hour yesterday, and enjoyed a cold drink along with the peace and quiet. Why was it quiet, the wind was non-existent! We have had no ill affects from the shot other than a sore arm.
This afternoon, a friend is supposed to come by and remove some acorns from the front yard.
Rest, relax, enjoy the day!
Try to also be nice to someone today, you will feel good after being nice.
