I saw that uk p.m has told us that everyone over 50 will be vaccinated  by start of May.  Big talk. I hope so. 
I may get done by June.  I will stay home till then .

I finally got my flu shot yesterday. Better late than never, right?

Hurts like a goddamn today.

Regular flu shot?

Yeah, the one that pharmacies et al. have every year—and that, according to my next-door neighbor, the government uses for mind control (or, wait, is that chemtrails?).

Some group usually comes to my office to jab me there, but since my office is closed and I don’t really go anywhere, I didn’t get it yet this flu season. 

It was my annual physical yesterday, and the bastiges jabbed me at the family doctor’s office. 

Good on you. Since I still go into work everyday and have the entire time except for like a 2 week pause where it was only a couple times a week in the facility, I was still able to get it at work which is super convenient.

What’s the flu?

Nick how you feeling? Any lingering effects from covid?

Slight smell and taste issues. Peanut butter still tastes a little different. Brewing coffee smells different. Very odd. But overall I’m ok. Thanks for asking? 👍🏼👍🏼

Good to hear. Though the lingering effects on smell and taste is disturbing....what if I get covid and no longer like IPAs??????

Moderna 2nd dose on Monday.  Not looking forward to it, everyone we know had a rough time after.  We are getting it at the same time so we will be down together if we are down lol

She cancelled Tuesday's patients just in case, so we don't have to work at least.

Good luck and take care. I’d pay a lot of money to be getting my 1st shot. So no offense to you cause I know you don’t mean it, but suck it up and be thankful

Oh yes I am very thankful to have an early opportunity to be a part of this historical vaccination, and I know how lucky I am.

I eat peanut butter almost everyday for breakfast and I’ve had to adjust my taste expectation. It’s very disturbing honestly but my doctor told me it’s not serious. Unfortunately there’s no clear answer on if it will ever return to normal. 

So the taste is overpowering Or it changed from what you remember?

Changed. Like it’s slightly off. Hard to explain. 

It is hard to explain. I lost my smell and taste for a bit when I had it last spring. Luckily mine seems to have come all the way back. When I first noticed it I was eating Thai food and it just tasted really bland even though I got a spicy dish. I remember telling my sister that I thought the chef screwed up my order. It tasted really off. Later that night I realized I couldn’t smell anything either. It is a strange sensation. I hope yours comes all the way back as well.
