Friday

My flu shot appointment was for my "errand day out" last Wednesday. Came down with the flu on Friday! It's the first time in years I've had it. I get the shot every September - this year the bug beat me to it. Nasty thing.

Had a COVID booster last July, 6 months from the previous, as COVID was spiking in my area, so now have to wait until November for the updated one. Will get it as soon as eligible and hope it doesn't race me as the flu did.
