There was a surge of people into the waiting room, until there was at least 30 people standing, whilst every chair was occupied!!!! I could hardly believe it. Anyway it was only a few minutes before I was called in, and a very nice (but young) nurse said she hoped she wouldn't hurt me!! I hoped that too, and I was waiting for her to put the needle in, and she had already finished!!! She was brilliant. She did say that I would probably be sore later. Well it's been almost 10 hours and it's not started to hurt yet, so I doubt it will. So hopefully I won't catch flu - although I did worry with all those people in the waiting room - perfect place to catch something!!!
Well Emily asked if I fancied seeing the sea as I hadn't been out for a while - so with it being a gorgeous day - blue sky and the odd white cloud scudding across, it was the best idea. We stopped at one of my favourite places, at the top of the jetty, and the tide was almost fully out. The golden sand looked amazing and there were just a very few hardy souls walking on the beach with their dogs. As I hadn't expected to be going there, I hadn't taken my handbag, so no camera!! No problem says Emily - I'll take some pictures with my phone and send them to you!!! Which is exactly what she did.
As you can see - what a gorgeous view. It wasn't all that cold neither. Oh I do so love this view. I really miss not getting out and seeing the sea. It must be nearly 2 months since I was last out. I am completely housebound now my car has given up the ghost. I don't think I can afford to buy another car yet, so unless my lovely friends offer to take me out, then I'm stuck indoors. It's just as well, I'm able to fill my time being busy.
Well I wish you all a great week coming, and a fantastic weekend after.
Em certainly is a good friend. Lovely day at the beach
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to GracieYes I am so blessed with my friends, I thought it was a lovely suggestion of hers, because she realises that I don't get out, so a quick trip was on the cards!!!
Hope the flu jab does the trick, and that you'll stay healthy over the winter.
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Bee OrchidYes I'm sure the flu jab will do the trick, although being in a waiting room with all those people was chancing it a bit!!!!
Great to hear about your flu shot adventure. You had some fine timing to get there before the horde arrived! Gotta love that. And how nice that the flu shot was done before you knew it, hooray!
I have never gotten a flu shot...it's just not been necessary I guess. Esp since we don't interface with people closely very often, and if so it's not for long. Not that my logic makes sense. After all, the very worst flu Steve and I have ever had as adults happened on Christmas Eve one year when we went out to a computer store for some shopping...the person working there came over and promptly hacked and coughed right next to us. Didn't matter that he had a tissue to cover his face. Literally 20 minutes later we both started feeling a bit off. An hour later and we knew we'd gotten the flu. We proceeded to get to the point of deathly ill in the next two days with temperatures that were 102 and 103 at the worst. On Christmas day and the following two, we were barely, and I mean JUST BARELY, able to get out of bed to use the bathroom, or take care of Pumpkin, or lift a spoon of food to our mouths. It would be two weeks before we were nearly well again. All from a nearby cough in the course of a couple of seconds. So my logic is idiotic to be honest. Good for you to get your flu shot!
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Janet Brien clubI am so blessed that I've got such good friends, like Emily, to take me to see the sea. I do miss seeing it I'll admit. Just because I have good friends here, doesn't stop you and Steve from picking me up!!!!!
