This has been an interesting day. I got to Walmart at 10:50 for my 11:00 vaccine appointment. I got checked in and sent over to the door to wait. They called back someone that had checked in after I did. I was on a tight time line and decided not to wait anymore and left at 11:20. I told the lady that checked me in I had to leave.
I took my car through the car wash and then went to the Chiropractor. I stopped and picked up a burger and then took my car to Thomson’s to have the wheel alignment done. I ate lunch while they took care of my car.
To my surprise, it only took a little over an hour to do the car. They told me it would take 2 -3 hours. I went to Bluestem to pick up dog and chicken feed. They were out of dog food but I got 6 bags of chicken feed.
Went to Walmart to get my groceries. After I paid for them I decided to check with the pharmacy to see if they could give me my vaccine. They got me right back and I didn’t have to wait. Maybe next time I will just walk in and not make an appointment!
Came home and had to make two trips from the barn to the house to carry in the groceries. Made a third trip down so I could take care of chicken chores. While I was down at the barn this time, I shoveled a bit of the melting ice off the barn pad so it isn’t as slick to walk on. The garage door openers aren’t working so you have to get out of the car to close and open the barn door. Put the car in the barn and came up to the house and put the groceries away.
I am peopled out for the day. I had very little patience today. Yesterday must have drained my patience level to zero. I’m grateful I am tucked in at home for the weekend. We shall see what reaction I have to the vaccine this time. The lady warned me the second shot is usually worse than the first one. Yikes! It may be a long weekend if that is the case.
It has warmed up a bit today. My Tempest isn’t showing that it is above freezing yet but things are melting and softening. Unfortunately we are to have yet another cold front come through tonight and hang around until Sunday. I was tempted to let the chickens out today but decided against it. I will let them out Sunday and they should be good to go next week as the highs are in the 30’s and even up to the 40’s.
I’m having some pain in my front lower right jaw. Not sure if it is a tooth, gum or a jaw problem. The pain seems to shift around a bit and I can’t find the hot spot. It had flared up about a month ago but then went away and I had forgotten about it. It came back last night and is there again today. Sure is painful. Wish I knew what was causing it and what to do about it. I took some Tylenol last night and that seemed to help.
I’m tired this afternoon. After going nine days without being around people, two long days out and about have worn me out. I’m grateful I get to stay home until Monday. I am getting close to wanting to become a hermit and totally staying away from people.
Tomorrow is Tagen’s 18th birthday. I got the ingredients to make him some peanut butter balls if I feel up to it. I haven’t mailed his birthday present yet so maybe I will get the peanut butter balls made and get those and his present to him this weekend. I’ll see how I am feeling in the morning.
I was a bit disappointed in myself at how impatient I was today. I didn’t feel drained until I got out and was tested a bit. My reserve tank must be empty. I would have thought after being home for nine days it would have been filled.
Grateful things worked out with the vaccine and I was able to get it today since I have a couple days free to get over a reaction if I have one, grateful groceries and chicken feed are stocked up, and grateful for the warmer temperatures today.
