walked over to Silver Heights IDA Pharmacy on Friday morning and got both my covid and flu shots… I’d been waiting as at my recent doctor’s appointment, the vaccines hadn’t yet arrived… I called the Pharmacy on Wednesday and booked an appointment…

they have the system down pat, you sign a form, sit down and wait maybe a minute, Devarshi comes in and pops a needle into each arm and away you go;-)…

once I got home I took some Advil hoping to stop any sore shoulders, lol…

this morning a memory came up reminding me that on this day thirteen years ago, I came home following a dual surgery just a few days before… as always, drugs were more trouble than they were useful for me… I had stopped taking everything the day following the surgery as pain is easier to deal with than the side effects of most drugs…

a friend had come and replaced the carpet on the front steps while I was in the hospital…

over the years it had taken a beating and just recently we removed that carpet…

it looks rather dreadful at the moment, but this coming weekend the plan is to install new carpeting so it looks good again…

can hardly wait, lol…

I received a letter from Manitoba Health the other day…

in it was my new health card, woohoo…

I’d been planning to give them a call as I had gone online and filled out the application what seemed like many weeks ago, lol…

it looks great and I was quick to pull the old paper one out of my wallet and put in the new plastic one…

quickly…

Wednesday morning after I had my breakfast, I walked over to Ultracuts for a haircut… I had called and they weren’t busy so I moved quickly, lol…

it has been very icy for quite some time so I was a bit concerned as I wondered if the sidewalks would be clear… and, happily they were…

it was great to get the haircut because the last few home cuts were poorly done, lol…

out…

went to Costco on Wednesday morning and clearly picked a great time as parking was easy and the store wasn’t too busy…

I was very happy that the frozen raspberries I use were not a product of the USA, and neither was the Parmesan cheese…

it is kind of difficult on most packaging to find the information that tells you clearly where it comes from 😬…

order…

by Monday morning the den was back to normal…

the mattress had gone upstairs on Saturday, and the tables and couch put back in their usual space… I also changed the orchids on the sofa table, putting the ones that are blooming onto the dining room table and the ones that aren’t into the den…

it wasn’t until Monday morning that the carpet and coffee table made it back into their spots… my housemate had to lift the couch so I could slide the carpet under the feet to hold it in place…
