Weekend:
Tonight, helping a neighbor become friends with her new vacuum. The technology has her down.
Tomorrow, cleaning in preparation of moving my computer out of my office and into the great room.
Sunday, nutritional meet-up with a friend.d
Interspersed, getting my ever loving act together. I'm growing impatient with myself and something has got to give.
Here's the CDC schedule for vaccinations, which supports meara: 12-15 months are the most shots. [link] (pdf) In my state, 4 year olds get a big shot battery, too (required for PreK/K.)
My brother & SIL just bought a house in Boulder, and my SIL said their realtor was quite proud of the fact that her 7-year-old child had never seen a doctor.
No playdates with that family!
Yeah, I got a DTAP shot in Oct. I hadn't had a tetanus shot since 1995 or so and hadn't had a pertussis shot since I was a child. When I found out the pertussis vaccine I had as a child wasn't forever, I made it a priority to get that taken care of.

Not even on television? Man, that kid is sheltered.
Well, I think they're wrong to never have taken the child to a doctor, but why no playdates? Assuming one's own child is vaccinated and there are no family members who have related health issues or are infants, I'd be more comfortable having playdates with non-vaccinators than with careless people who have swimming pools or own guns.
Yay for jobs for shadow, and good neighborhood builders for David and JZ, and yays for everyone else!!
I've finally gotten around to trying the vanilla Greek yogurt my mom picked up for me last week, and OMG, is it made of Yum!! I had it for breakfast, and decided to have it for lunch, too. Loads of protein for an added bonus, much more than I was getting with my chocolate pudding breakfast and tomato soup lunch and dinner.
Today, I have to run out to Walgreens and pick up some stuff, and then come home and do my homework for class tomorrow. After class, I'll head over to Jewel for some food supplies, and then Dad's coming up for the afternoon. Sunday is supposed to start our cold streak, so I'm planning on staying in for a few days.

Good point, although I was thinking about the little kids who may not yet be fully vaccinated for everything, and could be infected by the older sibling's playmate.
flea, because even if you've gotten your vaccines, you may not have had enough reaction to fight off the disease. Not everyone responds perfectly to all vaccinations--it's one of the things they do in the initial clinical trials, take blood samples after injections to see how people respond, to decide dosages. And "adjuvants", which irritate your immune system to cause a bigger response, are one of the things that people often worry about when worrying about what the vaccinations are doing.
