1) I'm starting 2024 with most of my medical appointments made and met. The last thing on the med agenda was today--Covid boosters and flu shots for me and Nu. Based on my previous reactions, I fully expect to be completely out of commission tomorrow. (And the day after too.)
2) I'm so ridiculous sometimes. As I did a pull-up, I idly wondered if I should stop because what if my arm got so muscled that the tech couldn't get the needle in. As if!! I have really unrealistic and exaggerated notions about my arm strength!
3) An acquaintance (someone I know mostly from meeting at conferences) lost their spouse to cancer on the evening of Dec 25th. They were a beautiful young couple doing good in the world (teaching, organizing, community building) with very young kids and I'm so saddened and sorry about this loss. Also, how terrible for their kids to have Christmas permanently linked to this.
4) I usually don't plan meals in advance, but I've made sure I could feed the fam until at least Tuesday, because I do not want to go to the store until the new year is well and truly here.
5) Pic: Max and Huck were over being sent to their room with wet paws and decided to make "snow" by killing a throw pillow. It was a cute one too with a Keith Haring dog on it. I hope the sun comes out tomorrow. We're all going a little stir-crazy in this soggy weather.

I hope your reaction to the vaxxes wasn’t too terrible. I was lucky and felt no ill effects.
The pups look suitably contrite. And so darn cute. I’d spoil them irredeemably.
I'm still stuck on "I did a pull up." So casually you mention it! I have never done a pull up so I will just be over here in awe.
I'm so sorry about your acquaintance. What a horrible thing to happen on Christmas.
Feel better.
Oh, naughty dogs. They look so proud of their naughtiness, though.
Oof. A parent's death on a holiday is rough. I hope they are surrounded by love and get through their loss as gracefully as possible.
I'm sorry about your acquaintance. That is very sad.
p.s. I hope the after effects of the shot aren't too bad this time, but if they are, at least you're prepared.
I'm back, it was bad. At least I don't have to do it for another year.
Nance--I have no doubt you would spoil puppies :)!
Nicole--It was a supine pull-up! Not that remarkable!
Thanks, Gillian!
Engie, Steph--They're surrounded by love, but how difficult...
