5th time was the charm!

 

I kid you not.

The VA sent an email to encourage me to get the annual flu shot.

CVS has the contract with VA, so I diddybopped over there after Michael's dinner.

Nope.

They did not have some code they needed and, after twenty minutes, referred me elsewhere.

Determined to cross that task off my list, I bounced on over to the all-night Walgreens.

Nope.

They didn't have that contract with VA for 2020, but they'd be glad to give me the shot for forty dollars.

Ack.

I resolved to go to the Savannah VA on Monday afternoon before the matinee of "Sonic The Hedgehog"...

and so I did, looking forward to getting that immunization.

Nope.

They were already closed, as 2 PM is end of day now for them.

However, the nurse suggested another site on the VA list.

Fine.

Yesterday, upon my return from the Pooler excursion, I went straight to the Walmart pharmacy for the shot.

Nope.

They had the code they needed, but were told I needed to give them a ten-digit identification number for my VA insurance.

Well, I certainly have never had any such creature.

Ack.

So I resolved to give it one more try.

Today, I traversed Savannah from midtown to southside, arriving at the Ralph Johnson VA Center around 1 PM.

Five minutes later, I was walking back to my car, bandage on my arm -

success!!!

Whew.

i thank You, God.

Elated, I ventured over to the Target for groceries, as I actually had that card in hand.

I loaded up on canned goods: black beans, garbanzos, corn, RoTel NSA tomatoes & green chilies, tuna, chicken breast, soup.

All were foods I'd needed for a while, to give my pantry a function.

My odometer had 214213 -

on my way to a palindrome!
