i dont know -- that information was given to me orally from the nurse that gave me the shingrex vaccine. she said no other vaccines within 30 days after this one for shingles.

happy sunday, friends. nothing much going on here. staying home and away from people for the most part. its a beautiful day today so i took a solo drive around town and stopped by one almost empty store for a gift. other than that, i have a small turkey breast ready to go in the oven soon and uno cards on the table. i miss my texas grands so much!

my nurse told me that yes, those that had the previous vaccine, needed to update it to the new one. i dont know why, tho.

Revelation. the Book of Revelation. no 's' on the end, fyi. i was one who worried about that being the 'mark'. i talked to a pastor friend of mine and got some clarification about what Revelation says and so i am not wasting any more energy worrying about it. i may not be first to take the shot but when it comes available i wont fear it for that reason.

i got mine yesterday as a direct result of you guys talking about it. i got the shringex (?) version. it was virtually painless and i have been feeling fine since then. my other shoulder, the one that had the cortisone last week -- now that one hurts. the cortisone didnt really do much so eventually after this covid situation settles down i have to have a total replacement. will continue to put it off as long as i can. one thing i learned yesterday is because i took the shingles shot, now if the covid vaccine comes available, i cannot take it for the next 30 days.

thanks. that was very helpful. might get mine tomorrow if time allows, friday for sure .

thats the shingles vaccine? because of you all, i spoke to my doctor about it andhe has ordered it for me. i will probably get it on friday. truth.....feeling nervous. is it a live vaccine?

i do know it was off season so the franchise was able to rent out the whole entire hotel for the month of filming. i dont know any place else you could so that sort of thing. basically, off season, things are pretty empty there due to the extreme heat.

skipped to the end to say that i go regularly to la quinta to visit a sweet friend that lives really close to the resort. this was filmed in august. it was brutally hot that month and since then too.....120 degrees is not unusual for august. there is no way i can even describe to you guys what that feels like. and i dont know why they filmed so much outdoors but then .....they were stuck to that resort only so i guess no other options but hotel rooms or outdoors. i felt sorry for them when they had their suits on and were melting away. the mesnick!!!! that is when jason mesnick lean over a bannister literally sobbing after he sent home the woman that would end up being his wife.

i guess my question is similar to one someone else posted a comment about. i am paying fortune for cable tv now and i wonder if i can still see counting on on tlc and bates on up and hgtv whenever i want or are they all going to the extra money package only? i may need to sign off tv ...well except for oldies . currently i am watching 'meet me in st. louis' for the forty millionth time and will watch it again next year

random question: my tv is advertising that the duggers and other shows will be streaming on the new Discovery 'channel'. i dont exactly understand what i am talking about but lots of shows on many channels are now going to be part of this service which there is a fee to view per the commercials i keep seeing like on HGTV etc. does that mean the new shows on TLC wont be there and available to us or is this streaming thing showing reruns? technology is pretty foreign for me -- thats why i have kids .....and grandkids! loved it for the few minutes we had it.....i lovely rainy weather the best!

i could never drive on that!!! cali sunshine is all i know.

made my own version of chicken chili this past week. so dang good!

omg!!! the spelling was terrible. that family must really shake me up more than i was aware!

thinking of those kids hits close to homme for me. the final house they lived in is about 20 minutes from whee i currently live. their texas hoouse was ina small 'town' that i have driven through many times. just too close to such a sad situation.

looks like Momma has clear braces on!

i woke up to that notice too. i have really everything already and now i just need to get groceries topped off. then its in the house for me.

do tell me more! i am trying to get my mindset back on WW. i fell off after my neck surgery and i havent had the willpower to start again.

i can't do that to those kids! they didn't ask for those looks....there can only be one smugger in my mind. now they may be 'unfortunate' but not so bad as to deserve smugger.

referencing a topic in the 'other famlies' thread about covid restrictions: 'and here we are in cali, waiting for more severe lockdown that ever. our governor says that if our region of the state gets to only 15% beds available in icu, we are are on mandatory stay home orders. being out for food and medical needs are excluded. once this happens, its 3 weeks till the next evaluation to move to a less restrictive level. my husband will go nuts on 3 week stay home orders.....he has worked this whole time. of course he is not around the public very often.' the plan, i think, is for this to start probably tomorrow so it rules out any more christmas shopping for me IRL vs online. i believe the real goal is to screw up christmas gatherings for families. and i get it....we are distancing and have really one child in our 'bubble' and thats not even a perfect 'bubble'. just not happy about it.

moving to small talk

when we bought ours, we could only afford the bed itself -- no 'frame'. so i used it like that for a couple years until i bought a regular headboard, footboard and side rails. we just built it around the SN mechanisms. works just fine. the mechanism sits on the floor and the frame goes around it.

ETA: i went to my church this past sunday and sat in the car listening. they met in the parking lot sort of with every family separate from the next. it took about the equivalent of about 40 car spaces . the pastor was on the sidewalk talking. that was a first for me. not gonna do it again tho -- to hard to not hug my friends that i havent seen in almost 11 months.

i need to share my good news story today. it was wonderful. husband and i went on a drive to test our our new fast-track pass on the freeway. i drove down to the beach which is about an hour away from home. no traffic at all, blue skies and it was just gorgeous! first a ferry ride across the small bay, then we snagged a handicap parking spot right next to the pier. i did have to nav some stairs but i made it. i was able to walk about a third of the pier before needing to stop and rest and catch my breath. it was worth it!!! there was a slight breeze, not enough to wear my sweater, and temps were in the mid 60's. for those in so-cal, i could see the entirety of catalina island! its been years since that has happened. we took the fast-track lane home through the canyons that recently had burned in a fire. it didn't look as bad as i had feared but we also didn't see the worst of it. we were able to get a nice dinner at a bbq place that had exactly one other table seated. we were virtually alone the whole meal. came home to my christmas lights being on and beautiful. it was a nice day, covid safe and little to no direct human interaction.

around 4 months is when they are able to roll over ….i was worried too.
