How far apart are they given. I should get mine. My Dad had shingles and it was terrible.
Have you taken the covid shot?
I hope both you and steve have taken them.
There is a new varient called MU....just what we don't need.
I hear you about shopping several of our fitting rooms were

shut down. I eventually got a catalogue and ordered a
bathing suit that looked pretty but not on me.

I am a fat blob. I know that I should not talk this way,
hubby never says a word. I did get a cover up
pretty floral all the way down to my ankles
with a slit on each side. I wore it as a dress.

I have ordered a few shirts that have worked out ok I guess.
Being obese really sucks.

Hey Bizi

Yes a 3 month wait for 2nd shot. The first shot I don't remember my arm hurting like this time. But I will deal with it ( still pretty painful today) My Father while having Chemo for Leukemia had Shingles and he was a real tough guy but Shingles would have him in tears. he was on Morphine and still suffered.

Yes Steve and I both got the Moderna vaccine as soon as we could. I think Covid is just going to have variant after variant and there will be a steady flow of booster shots needed.. We have an appt in October for our Diabetes check up and we will be getting the regular Flu shot.

Oh weight gain I have had bouts of Anorexia all my life more often than not. My last real struggle had me down to about 80lbs, I'm 5'5.. I was being told to gain weight or time for a feeding tube, but mentally I felt much better about myself.. Right now I weight more than I ever have in my life. The last AP that I took for over a year prior to my TIA was straight Seroquel and I flipped fully into Metabolic syndrome and even though now being Diabetic and watching food choices and portions it really hasn't allowed me to lose much weight. My Doctors are happy that I am not gaining and my Diabetes is very stable with numbers into the "pre diabetic" range.. its very frustrating and I verbally beat myself pretty much 24/7 365 about my weight and yes I shouldn't but its hard not to. I dont think any amount of CBT is going to stop this issue.

I am so sorry I have been meaning to ask you if you guys made it through Ida with no real problems? We got lots of the bands of rain some severe but no damage thankfully. I was shocked at how bad it effected people in the East,, Mother nature truly is evil sometimes..

I'm sure that floral dress looks nicer that you think

Hope your having a nice labor Day
