Vaccines, celebrating 62, & wine

Every Thursday, or sometimes Friday as today, I share three good things from today, in the past week, and/or in the week or weeks to come, to focus on what is good. I encourage you to share in the comments your three good things too, if you want. I was introduced to thinking on three good things for the week by Deb Nance of the blog Readerbuzz who lists hers every Sunday on her blog.

Today

I got both a covid and a flu shot about an hour and a half ago. My wife Kim is getting both, plus a shingles vaccine next Friday.

The Past Week

Kim and I visited with my parents, sister, and her family yesterday. My parents celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary on Monday. We were at their house for that and to go over wills, advanced health directives, and discussions about the potential of nursing homes or home health care as both are 81 and are in declining health. Nothing was decided yet, but at least we all discussed it, and our talk together was productive.

The Week(s) To Come

Starting Sunday, I work seven days in a row, but only a few hours each day for most of the days. Then at the end of the seven days, next Saturday, my wife Kim and I are going to an equinox party at a local winery. Woo hoo!

    I got my flu shot just a few days ago, but didn’t get Covid. Or RSV. Maybe I should have. I hope Kim does well with the Shingles shot. My first one was no problem, but the second one kicked my but for 24 hours. I kept telling myself, “it’s better than Shingles, it’s better than Shingles.”

    I am also glad that you are having those tough conversations with your parents. It’s so important to ensure all the paperwork is done and updated and that you have plans for if something goes wrong, especially at 81.

    1. I haven’t had a RSV shot yet. I really don’t know know much about it… Kim is off next weekend, after getting her shingles shot. That’s why she scheduled it for Friday.
