01-14-22 Booster Juice
Although I got much done today, I was, in the back of my brain consumed with thoughts of my Booster shot later in the day. I have had a sore throat that seemed milder today and I have blamed it on it’s coming to be after the heavy use of Pinesol near my office earlier in the week. Although I would think that to be the norm, there was always the chance that I had picked up the virus. As I have not got a fever or extreme tiredness, nor a headache, I decided to go for it. It turned out to be a very pleasant experience with Claire, the woman giving me the shot. We chatted travel and she was entranced by my tales of Peru and the UK/Paris. Our mutual friend, Paula was the nurse in charge and she came over to give us the gears and get me that shot. I am now 3x Pfizered and like the others, feel nothing in my arm. I spent the next bit of time picking up a paper at my old Dr.’s office, making an appointment at my optometrist and enrolling at the new Urgent and Primary care clinic, hoping to get a new Dr. All of these were in the old Cranbrook Mall, which back in the day was a thriving commercial centre and seems to have found a repurpose as a medical mall. There you can see a physiotherapist, get and X-ray, rent from the Red Cross, get a CPAP machine or glasses, have your hearing checked, pick up a prescription, see a Dr and even grab a meal at the Spice Hut. It really is a great concept and there is plenty of parking and all on one level for easy access.
After shopping for groceries with my Noom lists in hand, I came home and unloaded all the healthy delicious choices, made some dinner, chatted with my Mom and messaged with my Auntie Trish in Washington state. She misses her family and at nearly 79 thinks she will never see her only child, my cousin Andrea in Alberta, again. I am sorry for her. I know she loves her little community she is in but no one can easily visit her now, nor for such a long time. I miss my semi-regular stops to see her.
After that I crawled into a tub and watched Red Notice. It was highly entertaining although Ryan may be type cast…
The other thing I did today was order a couple boxes of Rapid tests from a company in Vancouver. I am splitting a box with The Guedes’s and the other will be available upon private request from any cast and crew working on our show. I think that will give everyone involved another layer of comfort. They worked out to just over $10 each which is cheap security. Testkits.myzone.com
It was odd how many new foods I noticed at Safeway. I don’t know, if there are supply chain issues, there certainly are odd things getting through…
I was perusing my Twitter feed when I noticed a comment on my sons that made me laugh
The melt continues, can’t even tell how much shovelling I really did and I still can’t clear my side walk though as it is so dense
I have a bit of a headache so I took a couple Ibuprofen and look forward to no alarm tomorrow. Sweet dreams (or good morning!)
