Just plain tired this evening. I can hear my bed calling already. But, I did get shingles vaccine #1 of 2 this morning. Tomorrow, I intend to work this vaccine for all it is worth. Plan on enjoying poor health tomorrow!
Oh, and it cost me $171. Note to taxpayers: I am trying to save you money by not getting shingles and not racking up Medicare charges. (And, I really don’t want to get shingles.)
I looked back five years on the blog. On this very day, I was trying to get a very sick Carlton back to Virginia from Hawai’i and I seem to have done the blog post from the Portland Airport. Things were really grim for me during that period. They were not so hot for Mr. C either.
So, I looked back another five years to 2009. According to the blog, we had just returned from Hawai’i and my much hated HP laptop had melted. But, life was good. Carlton and I were young and healthy and I had just gotten Medicare, so for the first time in 25 years – I had health insurance.
A LITTLE REFLECTION ON BEING OLD
Damn, I am old. Who knew that I’d make it this far?
Gee, I wonder, does the blog go back to March 19, 2004? Yes, it does. The post has some missing images.. But, the bulk is OK. I am annoyed at my “long distance carrier, ATT”. That was when long distance was still a big deal.
Keep a journal. Or a blog. It helps keep things in perspective. It is never too late to start.
