Daily To-Do's/Notable Accomplishments

Today I marked with indelible pen “TOP “on a bottom sheet. I get so tired of trying to figure out what is the short side and what is the long side of these sheets. we’ll see how long this mark last through washings. Does anyone else do this?

Due to My last annoying Wi-Fi fix experience, I marked the two wifi boxes “ONT” and “Modem.” In one of the many calls the little help desk tech told me to do something to the “ONT. “I asked him which device was the ONT and he couldn’t tell me. So when the tech guy came to replace the equipment including the ONT we found out which was the ONT.

I knocked off another vaccination today, the RSV. But I found that the latest pneumonia shot is $270 if I get it at the pharmacy. I think I can find a better way especially since Google tells me Medicare DOES pay for it.

here’s a tip for some of you: our county health department gives vaccinations. Last Friday I went there get a Covid and flu shot, and there’s a list of others they give. They used my insurance cards. I think they might even have the Prevnar20 shot pneumonia shot. I think I still need a tetnus shot.

Good for you for marking your sheets! I happen to have a couple of sets of sheets that are marked "Top or Bottom" and "Side" It sounds so ridiculous but I never thought of just marking them myself!!

I got a mammogram today, 6 months late, but it is done. It was 23 minutes from the time I left my house until the time my foot stepped on my own property again. And 3 minutes of that was me dithering about where to park. See, our little hospital is mere minutes from my house.m

in the past two weeks I have also completed five vaccinations.

1. tetanus
2. covid19
3. Flu
4. RSV
5. prevnar20 (pneumonia)

coming up I have a hearing test, my first. I also need to set up a dentist appointment.

Yay Iris! We painted half the little shed! Iqueried (sent submissions) to 3 agents this weekend.

I have no idea why I postpone the mammogram and bone density test. They are in the same building and took around 30 minutes. Easier to do it than to explain my inaction to the doctor each year.

For me, well my excuse anyway, is: anything scheduled in the spring that can be put off *IS* put off. I don’t mind a mammogram, I have no pain or anything.

Now I have a slew of pet vet appointments to schedule and carry out.

we will hire the home visiting bet ro see our brown cat who gets car sick.

Well, so far this month I've gotten two of the immunizations I need - the pharmacist wouldn't let me do more than two in two weeks, bah! But flu and covid are done. Next will be RSV & tetanus, then I'm finally going to get my shingles vac, which I've been putting of for years. This was never a problem for me when the doctor's office did immunizations! Also filled out the forms and got the photos for renewing my passport, now I just have to send it off. And I have an appointment with a place that does pedicures/ingrown toenail help, which I want to check out before allowing the podiatrist to laser kill my toenails. Second opinions and all that.... Baby steps, as always, lol. Scheduling checkups, yearly mammo, etc. that are done at one appointment for the next are never a problem, but things I have to schedule on my own get pushed back easily. *sigh*

that’s good. Get that shingles inoculation! I believe it’s a two-step process if I remember right. I got mine several years ago. In fact, that was the one inoculation I was planning to get back in the days when I wasn’t getting inoculations prior to Covid. I DO NOT want shingles!!!!

[early morning]

Oh, agreed on the shingles - DH had them when we were first married, back in the 70s, and he was beyond miserable! My grandmother also had them, and DD had a minor case a few years ago. And yet I procrastinate... I gotta say, it really helps when I have an appointment. I KEEP appointments. But the pharmacy my insurance pays for does not do appointments for shots at this time. They did for the first covid vaccines, but now, nope. And it is so easy to NOT go somewhere! The struggle (for procrastinators) is real, lol.

[iris lilies]

Yes my pharmacy is doing fewer inoculations these days and I’m not sure why. well I do know why, it has to do with the fact that the insurance wants a health provider to do the inoculation not a pharmacy. Anyway, I find that our county health department gives inoculations and takes insurance information, so I had several done there. In my tiny town it’s just down the street from me.
