It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. I learned that I am getting my Trump* Virus vaccine on Monday morning, and I’m looking forward to that. I think it’s great that this facility arranged this service for me so efficiently! I will appreciate your prayers that I have no ill effects. In the meantime I’ll be tired and busy. TGIF!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hoping you have medical clearance for the vaccination, given your compromised system; hoping you do well with it.
BFP: It’d Friday, Friday, but I love their music, any day.
I’m already cleared.
Cartoon: That long ago, eh?! Boy…does time fly or what?
Mamas and Papas: Loved them from the very start! Great song(s)!
WTG!! Glad to read that your new home managed to get you your first dose of vaccination! That’s great news! Hope that all goes good on Monday. Take good, good care, and get your rest. Thank you for all you do! Tom.

5. Exxon claims to want to go green, but they don’t meaningfully invest in renewable energy. Yesterday, an industry leader tried to argue that smaller companies can just take the lead. Not good enough. Corporations that fueled the climate crisis should fund solutions. ~Katie Porter ~
TJI #4 – Cleaning up the Boebert-Gaetz-Greene “mess” would be comparable to Hercules’ Fifth Labor of cleaning the Augean stable!
TJI #1 – The GOP dpesn’t care because it isn’t affecting them personally.
TJI #2 – I suspect he’s right – and if so, it’s a good thing.
TJI #3 – There are too manu more to mention, but I might just add AOC and Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar. Wonderful!
TJI #4 – He’s definitely not good enough to clean up that mess … but it would be great if he would try. Alas, it won’t happen.
TJI #5 – Can they be more obvious that they will fight green energy tooth and nail? Trust Katie to bring ot the truth.
I got the Pfizer vaccine, and all I had was some significant soreness at the site for 36-48 hours.
But the second shot didn’t cause much soreness at all. I was surprised, because I had read that the 2nd shot had more side effects.
I had the Pfizer shot (1st) on 10/04/21 and did not even have to get out of the car. No side effects! I don’t know when I’ll get the 2nd but I am going to try for the 2nd at the beginning of May. Provincial Health says 4 months but I am at high risk and have a letter inviting me to get the shot even though my age group had not been called. I’ll see what happens. I hope my reaction is like yours Nameless.
Prayers for you always. Personally (and I know I am not alone) I find that a large pain “drives out” a smaller pain – for example, I actually realize my right hip is not huurting when I start to feel the arthritis in my left knee. So “no noticeable side effects” may be as effective as “no side effects.” Or not. Everyone is different.
Cartoon – Clearly it was an idea whose time had come.
Blast – Today iis Friday, but it always feels lke Monday to me.
Cartoon: Wow, YouTube is 16 years old. Sure has come a long way.
BFTP: Love the Mama & Papas. Had so many amazing tunes.
I’ll add into my prayers for you, that you don’t have any side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine. I had the Pfizer one too. Had no issues with both doses.
Hope you able to get some rest today. It’s the best you can do for yourself.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Moving to this facility has turned out so well for you, TomCat. They’ve got things much better organised than the previous hospice care that came around every now and then. I’m so happy for you, my dear friend.
Cartoon: It feels like it happened only yesterday.
BFTP: Lovely tune, one of the best close harmony groups in its genre and time.
Thanks and weekend hugs to all.
I’m getting the first of two Moderna vaccines. Monday. I get the second on 5/28.

prayers always
