Last Week of 2021: Those Virus Boosters

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28

A received my Moderna booster shot at the Spring Grove Walgreens after a long wait for my 1 pm appointment.  Long as that was, there was another person who was supposed to get theirs at 12:15 pm.  Getting both the two vaccinations and the booster was nothing easy for us.  It was very difficult, especially considering that they wanted people to get those.  Plus, Liz and I are both 70 and have those underlying issues.  You'd have to think they would have made it super easy for us.

I had no problems in April with my first shot, but the second one made me really tired a day after I got it in May.  This booster really hit me hard as by night time I had a full-blown case of the flu and stayed in all Wednesday.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30

I am feeling much better today.

Took Liz over to the McHenry Walgreens and she had no problem with a wait and get hers right away.  Other than a sore arm site, nothing happened to her.  My arm site was sore for a couple days with both the regular shots and booster.

We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, then home.

Last Week: Trivia at Donovan's Reef, Backing Our Richmond-Burton Rockets in the High School Football 4A Semi Final Playoff Game and a Fish Fry at the Rusty Nail

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18 

First time with sun in a long time.  Sure peps everyone up.

We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for live trivia with Uncle Jeffie and that great half-price Happy Hour.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19

I went to our local Walgreens in Spring Grove, Illinois, and bought my Richmond-Burton High School gear for Liz and myself. I bought a hat and hooded sweatshirt for myself and a tee shirt for Liz.  Tomorrow, we play probably one of the best schools in the state in the IHSA football playoffs, Joliet Catholic, ranked #4 in the state, despite having only 600 students.  But, they draft their players.

Figured we'd support our boys even if we're not going out to the game.  It is way too cold to sit outside at our age.

Met Kevin and Kelly at Rusty Nail in Ringwood, Illinois, for their fish fry which is considered one of the best in the area.  We can see why with the quality and amount of food you get AUCE for $14.  Neither one of us came anywhere close to finishing our first round.
