Thank you, Holly. It's a pile-up of difficulties, at what is already difficult time of the year for me. An upset from an important person :cry: , adding extra stress, as has this difficult laptop situation. I will be able to get another laptop, but not quickly, but I have no idea what or when, that person's next hurtful action will be.

Thank you very much for asking.
It has helped me, last night and today, to soldier through the challenging steps required for me to post at SF with this non-functional backup. I made the decision I need to work at doing this for now, and even to share more and interact more, here at SF, to counter my present levels of sadness and anxiety.
Thanks again, to all of you......
@Kaila, I hope whatever is concerning you eventually ebbs and you find true peace. As for the shingles vaccine, I have gotten both doses a few years back after a good friend of mine developed shingles. Although it has since resolved (and she said the pain was beyond anything she had ever experienced), she said she still has episodes of phantom pain.
 
The highlight of my day was this morning when I walked over{2 blocks} to close friends, Marcia&Dave's house. I had not seen them in about a month,had 2 newspaper articles for them . When I knocked& walked in, family dog, Tag{pharoh hound} started barking,he recognized my voice got all excited. His whole body was wiggling,ran around in the living room,jumped on the sofa sat there. When I bent down to hug him his tail was still wagging. Marcia&Dave& I still haven't exchanged our xmas presents yet, we usually get together for dinner on Xmas eve, but 'mother nature's 'snow event' cancelled those plans She told me we'll do it sometime in next couple of weeks It was a wonderful visit
 

Went through a basket shoved in a bookcase, found weird things;
a seam ripper
a small container of pennies and change
a whisk broom
a white stone
a knit cloche
3 stacked small plastic containers with lids
a receipt
What am I doing with this stuff?
My guess would be you will pocket the change, and add the rest to your weekly trash pick up! Obviously, you won't miss any of these very important items.

Another weekend that is shaping up nicely! This afternoon a bar/grill is closing so a friend has invited me to the private affair! Will be a few drinks, lots of buffet food, burgers, laughing with others and gentle hugs!
What could be better?
Update, am back home after spending two hours at the event! So glad we went! It was such a good time. I had two kahlua and cream cocktails, then the fun began.....no ordering food, the owners just kept bringing small plates of food for us to eat... grilled salmon (perfection), onion rings, then cheese raviolis with marinara dipping sauce on the side. Oh, and a creamy chicken soup with potatoes, onions, carrots, etc. Next, orange roughy (scrumptious), grilled bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, sweet potato fries, a pesto flatbread, and after a short intermission of walking around to say hello to other friends we knew who also were invited, back to the table for coffee and coconut creme pie!

Now, no need to say I am stuffed, no more eating until Tuesday, but Wow! I feel like I just ate a Thanksgiving Day dinner! Best part, I didn't have to prepare it!
 
@hollydolly That sounds like an awful fall you had and I'm sorry you're hurting so much. I hope you can see the doctor ASAP. I know back pain is the pits. I had it for years too. I'm always afraid of injuring it further.

Please be very gentle with your walking and getting around. Would using a cane help?
 
Like @Ruthanne and @RadishRose both mentioned the subject in above posts,
I hope to manage to get the first of the 2 shingles vax shots, in February. These are now safer (non-live) and more effective, and also far cheaper, than the shingles vaccine version of years ago.
Today, I hope for a bath, and have enjoyed being at SF, and am trying to lower my stress level, today.
Enjoying the snow and wild bird scene out my window, as well as a couple of humans walking by, once in a while, too. Some have small dog companions out for a walk with them, after the stormy past days.
I'm going to go on CVS.com to schedule the shingles and flu vaccines. I wish you good luck with scheduling yours.

I love to watch the wild birds too.

I hope everything will go better for you soon. I was going through a very difficult December last month. That time of year is always hard for me and my family. I'm glad the holidays are over. I wish you much peace in your life.💗
 
Today was a slow day. This morning, I perused Amazon for a few things and did laundry. This afternoon I made navy bean soup, cornbread, and Waldorf slaw. I was also going to make a chocolate pudding cake but decided to put it off and make it tomorrow instead.

Tonight I enjoyed my soup and a little later I'll settle in, snack on some cookies and catch up on Resident Alien.:alien:

I haven’t had Waldorf salad in a coon’s age! I need to make some 😊
 
Today nothing, made an easy dinner. Alternating heat and cold on by bruised back side from the fall in the shower. Never knew hitting your tail bone could cause this amount of pain. I took one of my last pills last night. I slept for 14 hours. Guess it was a combination of needed sleep and my body trying to heal. See both the GP next week and get the scheduled MRI of the neck.

I knew I had to do all the medical stuff. I had put it off because I knew I would be spending enough to meet my deductible and then just have the copays. I hate going to the doctor both physically and financially. Sometimes there is just no choice. I am going to get better if it kills me (both ways LOL). This is the goal for 2023.
 
My plans for today changed when I woke up with a fever this morning. I was supposed to go see my 12-year-old granddaughter do her dance numbers. She will be in 12 dances. I will buy the video. My husband wants to stay home with m, but I rather he goes to the dance. Why should he miss seeing our doll?
I hope you feel better soon Sassy. It's a shame you had to miss your granddaughter's performances but it's good that you'll at least be able to watch the video.

I went down to the laundry room at 2 a.m. It was all cleaned up and no one else was down there. The last two times I went down in the middle of the night, I was surprised to find young people who had a lot of laundry. But luckily, each time they were almost finished using the dryers so we didn't get in each other's way. I went to the supermarket again shortly after they opened to get a couple of sale items. They had LaYogurt on sale for 49 cents. I don't usually buy that brand but couldn't resist the price. I bought enough to hold me over until my son goes to Costco next week to get my Activia...or so I thought. At 49 cents a serving, if I like the flavors I bought, I'll get several of the LaYogurts instead; they have probiotics too.

After I put my groceries away and ate something, I started drying my clothes. My apartment size dryer holds a good bit but not as much as the industrial dryers so it takes a little longer. But I don't mind because it's so convenient. I napped a little while the laundry was drying and put some of it away. I checked in on the forum a couple of times and also watched T.V.

I don't know if it's the same everyplace, but here, the shingles vax is one of a few, that requires a doctor to order it, first.
Perhaps because there is more than one type, or because it's the series of 2. i don't know the reasons.

I had to have a doctor order the pneumonia vax, as well. Then, I could schedule it, which I got at the pharmacy.

The flu shot, of course, can be scheduled without any doctor script order.
I plan to wait till Feb, due to other medical issues, and then have the doctor order the shingles vax for me.
Thank you, for your replies to my messages, here. :)

I didn't have to have my doctor order the Pneumonia shot. I shall see if my doctor has to order the shingles shot but I don't think so.

You might check, I get all vaccinations at my drugstore. Covid, flu, shingles and pneumonia. I have not been due for a tetanus or measles booster but I bet I can get it done there. My insurance covers it all, I am not on medicare yet but they must take it. Most all the people I see there for shots are older like me. That way I don't have to make an appointment or special trip to the doctor. I can go when I feel like going, if there is a wait I can go back at my convenience.
 
I've been getting my vaccines at the drugstore too. When my doctor told me to get all these vaccines he didn't say anything about ordering any of them when I told him I'm going to CVS for them. He just said "good!".

That's where I have them done! They send the doc the info so she knows and has history on my shots.
