And my one pain med, Celebrex, I am told I must be off entirely for a week before my first vax dose, and at least a week after, lest the NSAID interfere with the immune response.
Yes, and how do they suggest I function???
*sigh*
I'm already half-dosing, and it hurts, so.... eek. And as we're not yet to my tier (or close_) here.... I guess it's time to find out how well all that "just don't think about your pain" stuff reallllly works. (Insert your choice of laugh here!)

Today in 1199, King Richard, "the Lionheart", of England took an arrow during a siege of an enemy in France ----- and eventually died. Richard was, in fact, the reason his kid brother John ended up being reviled as a king. Richard spent so much time away from England on Crusade, or fighting French enemies, that the English barons ran amok during his reign. When John got the throne, England's Crown was bankrupt, the nation in chaos, and he cracked down on it all. John was not an evil king, in fact, but one who inherited a shi*storm, and demanded rule of law return. Sadly, he was vilified, and he was rebelled against, leading to the Magna Carta ----- a document credited with guaranteeing English rights. (But only if you were were a baron, earl, etc. Otherwise, still screwed.) John was noted for his mercy at the royal assizes for commoners ------ in one notable case, a boy was skipping stones across a pond, the rock hit someone and by pure bad luck caused enough injury to kill the person. The kid was gonna hang, but John said "No, it's mischance, let the poor boy go." ....
Today in 1830, the first Church of Latter Day Saints (mormons) was founded by Joseph Smith and five others in western New York state. Eventually, the Mormons settled modern Utah, and remained notorious for their resistance to federal law officers, and still mandate every home have a stockpile of food, water, etc., against.... Well, whatever. Despite my asking, I am never told, as I am not "one of the church". (Thanks, cuz.)
And in 1917, the US entered World War One on the side of the Allies (England, France, etc.). Within two-and-a-half years, that war would be over, the Spanish flu pandemic had hit, and it was pretty much a crappy time to be alive. Good chance of dying, basically.

Get outta neutral!***The first study linking carbon dioxide to warming was done in the 1930s. the hypothesis was first proposed in 1896.OK, let's expalin this in high school terms: the carbon cycle. If you overwhelm it, life gets very difficult. Four of the five largest extinctions known to paleontologists are linked to climate...

He was so abusive in EVERY way and controlling etc. I just gotta get thru till 5 pm cuz at 4 we bring him the money by 5 pm i can take my shower nad get done with the day.
First night at the B & B and my sleep was total crap. Actually, I haven't slept well since we left Maui; it's hard to relax when you aren't sleeping in your own bed. So if you guys happen to see a zombie on the loose, it's probably me. We took Hershey on the road with us (about a 7 hr drive) yesterday and she never complained once, she just napped in her bed in the back seat. And it seems she really likes the room we booked. Everything but the walls are pink (curtains, bedding, lamps, towels, artwork, etc) --Hershey's favorite color. Hopefully I will finally get some sleep tonight, but that might wishing on a star.
Leo, at least you're getting warm, fuzzy purrs! :)
Angela, I get ya. I never tell people how I feel because it's just too hard. They seem to think they need to "help" me feel better. It doesn't work that way. *sigh*
Blue, sorry you haven't done well since leaving Hawaii. Fingers crossed you get some rest.
I have a day off today. Yippee! Tomorrow I need to take my friend to the doctor's office to check on her cataract surgery. That is all that's on my calendar for the rest of the week. I honestly am not certain what to do with myself! I keep saying I'll get outside to work in the flower bed and I just need to suck it up and do it. Maybe later today after the dew has dried. I have pain pills so why not use them?
Hoping everyone has a good day!
I did a bunch of laundry today. And, worked on some genealogy.
Not much else to report! Waves at everyone.
