My temperature was back to normal this morning and I am back. My arm where I got the two injections is still a bit sore but manageable. Grateful for the protection of the vaccines. A day of running a temperature seems to be a small price to pay.

I went to town this morning. I needed some pants and warm shirts for the trip to CO. I went to the big sporting goods store at the mall and found what I needed. I also need a new winter coat this year but I didn’t see one I liked today. I have one I can use for the trip and will look for a coat soon.

I walked the dogs a couple times today and will walk them again one more time tonight. I have walked two miles so far today and will get one more mile in before I go to bed.

Tomorrow I have to go to town for exercise at 2:00. I will stop at the grocery store afterwards and get the food I want to take on the trip. We may eat out some but I prefer to take food and not be around too many people.

Saturday I have to have the dogs at the Vet by 11:00. I can pick up any last minute things I may need then. There are plenty of stores close by so no real issue if I forget something as I can easily get it in Estes Park.

We will leave Sunday morning and get into Estes late afternoon. They have changed check in time to 6:00 pm so we have plenty of time to get there by then. Kathy and I will take turns driving and it will be a fun day of travel.

I am so looking forward to getting away for a couple of days. I forget to take the time to do that. I have lots of empty space right now and forget I can go places.

I am binge watching a show on Alaska. Two different guys have cabins in the wilderness and it shows how they survive. One is alone and the other has a wife and three teenage girls. I appreciate their ingenuity and skills but am sure I wouldn’t be able to do that.

Grateful the dogs get me out to walk a couple miles a day, grateful I found some clothes for the trip, and grateful the reaction to the vaccines is over.
