Wtg ltc!
Debet that sucks about your job.
Tuesday I will finally go to get blood drawn for HRT stuff to see what my levels are. I was supposed to do this 2 weeks ago but I didn't want to leave the house one week and the other week I didn't want to try and find the blood draw place (normally I do it at my doctor's but they were closed). This Tuesday is ALL THE ONEROUS TASKS THAT HAVE PILED UP.
I'm 53. I had a period October 2025 and the one before that either Sept or October 2024. So I'm hoping this Oct will be nothing. And that HRT can help.
Mom is moved into her new rental house. It's about a little bigger but laid out different and they put in a 2nd bathroom so the living room area is smaller. It's narrower and is divided into a living room and a dining area but there is also eat in area for the kitchen (these three rooms run across the front of the house). But her landlords are nice and she seems happy. Although she said she needs to get rid of more stuff.
I had a flat tire Thursday, I discovered it when a coworker told me it looked flat (she parked beside me). Another co worker put the spare on and then Friday M got me to work and found a replacement tire .
We are go to Florida in less than 3 weeks. Yay. Early voting starts the 19th so we have to do early voting because we will come back on Election Day.
Askye, I hope your mother is able to settle in comfortably at her new place.
We went to a festival at a Maronite Church today and ate tons of delicious food, ltc got a henna tattoo, a d I’m enjoying looking at the autumn leaves on the way home.
The Covid-19 vaccination I got Friday has been kicking my ass all weekend. I overslept yesterday and missed taking my mom on our usual Saturday morning walk in the park. (We tried after lunch, but the area we normally walk in was closed off for a bike race.) Then last night/today I slept 10 hours, and still have the sore arm at the injection site. I suppose I should be thankful for the clear indication that it's working.
Despite being a slugabed I did get my grocery order done yesterday, bought treated deck screws, and managed to fasten most of the loose pickets in my street-facing fence to the rails. Some that are swollen by rain will have to dry out before I can wrangle them into position, then once that's done I'll be set to resume painting next weekend.
I got the double jab of flu and covid on Monday and thankfully it didn't bother me. Kristin got hers this week and she's been feeling off.

I got my flu and Covid shots on Friday in the same arm and it feels like the Hulk punched me. I felt fine yesterday, but low-grade crappy today. Worth it, though.
I was just coming on here to complain I got my Covid and flu shots yesterday and not only does my arm hurt where I got the shots, my underarm/lymph nodes on that side are painful too. Ow!! I don’t wanna get sick but geez.
Last night I went to a two step dance with straight people (but had a good time dancing with the old retired men) and then met up with friends to see Hump, Dan Savage’s porn fest. I hadn’t been in years and years, and back in the day it was very “ooh it only happens one weekend so you can be a porn star without too much worry!” And now it’s a whole festival that travels around and is basically all onlyfans people trying to get new fans or be super freaky? I wasn’t very impressed, basically none of it was hot to me (I started thinking like “is sex even hot? Is sex this weird when I have sex? Why are bodies so strange?”). There were a couple funny ones though.
Now I am starting to worry about getting a Covid booster this year. What version did you all get? Pfizer? Moderna? Novavax? Other?
I won't get any vaccines until I get back to Florida. My PCP's office is sending texts about the flu shot, but last year and this year they haven't pushed the Covid shot for some reason.

I just checked my CVS record, and this year's Covid booster was Moderna for me (named "MNEXSPIKE," which sounds kind of badass). I feel less shitty today, and my arm feels basically normal.
