It Happened Again

Well, it happened again.  I found out several years ago that I cannot get a flu shot because of the bad reaction.  Yesterday I went to the doctor for my three month checkup and he gave me the pneumonia shot.  Of course, I had a really bad reaction.  Consisted of chills, fever, headache, very sore arm and diarrhea.  At least the rest of my appointment went well.  My lab work was fine.  The results of both my pap smear and mammogram were all fine.  I guess I won’t be getting the pneumonia shot again.

After going to the doctor Jana and I stopped at the new candy store in Columbus.  We bought fudge and candy.  It is delicious!  Next stop was the license bureau where I purchased my license plates for this coming year.  In fact, I got the handicap plates.  From there we stopped at Walgreen’s to pick up my prescription, then on to Walmart.  Needed a few things including potting soil for Kevin.  I didn’t get enough potting soil, so he is at Lowe’s now buying more.

We stopped at Bob’s Burger’s for lunch.  They not only have great burgers, but their french fries are also great.  When we got home we had a piece (or two) of candy for dessert.  We had a light supper, and I was in bed by 8:30. 

Friday was a lazy day recuperating from the shot.  I was so grouchy that Jana quit talking to me. After supper I started feeling better.  Today (Saturday) is a good day.  So far I ran the sweeper, filled the birdfeeders (Jana helped), and walked around the yard checking the trees.  I sure hope we don’t have a hard freeze.  Yes, I know it is only January 14^th, but there are buds on the dawn redwood tree.

I am in the process of updating the KARSAKERFARM blog so you may want to check that.  I have taken some pictures to post there.  If you want to check and don’t remember the address, it is:  karsakerfarm.com.  Some of you may have to use: karsakerfarm.blogspot.com.  Either should work.  NOTE:  karsakerfarm blog has been updated.

Jana and I went to 5:30 Mass at St. Patrick’s.  On the way home we picked up a pizza from Papa John’s.  This will probably be our last pizza before Jana goes home.  We try to vary our after Mass suppers on Saturday night.  We did get to see the last quarter of the Falcons game.  Sure glad they won.  Sorry about the Texans.  We were hoping they would beat the Patriots. 

Today Jana is doing her laundry, and I am getting a few other chores accomplished.  Later today we are going to Kevin and Renea’s for supper.  Also, today is the Green Bay Packers game.  Go Green Bay!  We also have the Steelers/Kansas City game.  Hope they get to play since they have that really bad ice storm happening.  I know they changed the time to be a late game, but not sure that will help.  I can’t decide who I want to win.  I really don’t like the Steelers.  Oh well, we shall see. 

Did have supper at Kevin and Renea’s.  We had pork loin with apple stuffing and sweet potato casserole.  The Green Bay game started before we went to Kevin’s, but we were able to check the score while we were there.  We watched the end of the game when we came home.  Yea! Packers!  Didn’t watch the full Steelers/Chiefs game.  Checked the score when we got up this morning.  The only thing good I can say is maybe the Steelers will beat the Patriots.  I will also be rooting for Green Bay against Atlanta.
