Shots

I somehow turned the lights out at 12.45, no idea how that happened. No, really. And I know that sounds lame.

I had to wake the boy at 7.30 and I did and then I decided to basically skip everything and have breakfast right away. I read a bit while eating and knitted while my husband was having breakfast and realized that I was resenting having to rearrange my day for being vaccinated.

We talked, I knitted some more, I did the breakfast dishes and then it was almost time to go to the doctor’s office. The whole office was rather tense (which is unusual), apparently something had gone wrong with someone else’s appointment but things did get sorted pretty quickly. We got our flu and covid shots, and yes, the do hurt, even if my husband thinks they don’t.

I was a little scared of having a bad reaction again but things went better than the, um, last six times. After that we walked to the Greek restaurant nearby where we ate all the meat. And again, I could have sworn I took a photo but there isn’t any. So just picture a plate filled with gyros, souvlaki, tomato rice and salad, a piece of pita bread with garlic and a tall glass of alcohol-free beer.

After my husband went to the pharmacy and I went to the supermarket for licorice. And gummy bears for the boy. And dishwashing liquid. As one does.

I had some time before teaching that I spent reading and playing all the solitaire, then I taught two students, the next one wanted to cancel because their parent has covid but I suggested an online lesson, so that’s what we did. Then one more student and I was done for the day.

I started writing this post, ate dinner, watched some C-drama while knitting brioche (it’s so slooooow!) opened the manuscript and went to bed.

I’m not sure if I will clean the house today, maybe I’ll move that to tomorrow. So it should be a pretty light day all in all.
