No problem at all with my recent flu shot and the bivalent booster, taken on the same day. One in each arm, of course. Worked out normally the next day. No soreness. Felt fine.
Even on this gorgeous October day, there are, as always, many, many, people who need to be avoided because their brains are diseased and overflowing with toxic bullshit. It is distressing to engage most people in any but the most superficial and perfunctory conversations. As soon as you go beyond that, in so many cases, it's down the rabbit hole. And it makes me sad. Then it's necessary to turn off the nonsense, somehow disengage, end that conversation, and hope never to encounter that person again. In a town like Lubbock, in a state like Texas, rational and thoughtful people will have to be more than a little aloof. There are just too many crazies running around. Fortunately for me, I've never been a "people person". I feel rather sorry for "people who need people"-- I think their lives turn out to be more than a little complicated and screwed up.
A significant cold front is on the way, however. It's that time of year. I need to mention that yesterday I got my third booster, the bivalent for the latest variants, and also a flu shot. No problems with either one. I've heard that a new variant does not respond to any known therapy, including anti-body therapy, and is very contagious, but that the bivalent booster provides protection. That was reason enough to to do it.
Clear skies and lots of sunshine give us a chance to dry out. Very important. I had to negotiate flooded intersections yesterday.
Early October is feeling pretty good here. We might not have a whiplash into extreme cold or freezing rain this year. A mild winter would be appreciated.
