Flu shot!
After I completed the two documents due today, I went to my HMO for a flu shot. I don't know whether Ben had the actual flu or not, but I may as well get the shot now. And T is sick also! It's that "back to school" wave of illnesses. Get your flu shot! I'll try to give the shot time to take effect before seeing any of these sick people. Both tested negative for COVID. But T returns in 9 days.
I'm waiting until around Sep 21 to get my COVID update shot, as there's advice out there not to mix the Smallpox and COVID shots, keep them 4 weeks apart, because they have similar side effects with respect to inflammation of the heart muscle. As there's little known about these Smallpox shots I'll be careful and follow the advice.
I cooked for a second night in a row. Both times I've modified Blue Apron recipes, mixing and matching ingredients to make dishes I find more interesting. I made an italian sausage meatloaf, wasn't bad. I've been averaging cooking two meals per week during Away Cycles, but we get three delivered. It's a lot of food for one person. It helps when I can lure people over to cook for them, perhaps B will start showing up for dinners again soon.
I was able to lift weights and go on two walks today -- my lifting is getting back up into the risky/exhausting range where I think I may be pushing my luck with regard to injuries. I'm trying to be more mindful about it this time. I don't intend to continue lifting heavier weights until I do injure myself, I'm hoping that I can assign maximum weights to each exercise, and I'm either at or close to these maximums on all the exercises now. I hope to switch into maintenance mode with lifting like I do with running over the summer. Although I'm hoping to increase my running mileage soon as fall weather approaches.
I'll be traveling for work in early December and will need to wear a suit -- I need to remember to try on my suits with enough time to spare in case they don't fit me anymore. I wish people in my profession were like executives at Apple such that I could wear jeans and a t-shirt to public speaking events.
I'm sorta sleepy tonight, I kept busy all day with work and chores and exercise and errands and cooking, I think I'll quietly read until I get sleepy.
