Got My Shots…
Double Flu and Regular Covid… Kris and I went late Friday evening to get our yearly shots. Arm a little sore, and I am moving slowly, and I feel like napping, but basically no real issues. We usually make time in early October, but been a tad busy this year. So finally got them done. Taking care of our health is really critical, no matter how much the world tosses at us. So yay!! Next stop for me on the health train is I have a regular doc appointment in early January to get the clearance to do the Las Vegas Rock and Roll Half Marathon in February. I see…

That will be 2,190 days of never missing a blog. Some blogs had value, some were worthless like this one. Imagine if I had that same streak going writing a short story per day?
