48 hours on self-imposed quarantine

Just why would I do such a thing?

Well, on Thursday, while at my 6-months check-up with my PCP, I asked for, and received, two things I've been wanting.

First, I had this year's flu shot, given by Raquelle, Ms. Barker's assistant.

That went into the left bicep.

After my check-up, I was fortunate enough to find the Savannah VA Center had a five extra doses of the Pfizer booster; one of those went into my right bicep.

Between the two newly administered medicines, the first with actual virus and the second with the m-RNA, I knew my immune system would be working double-time.

That's why I stopped at the Food Lion on the way home and bought a rotisserie chicken.

Extra protein was what my body would need to build more antibodies!

Extra protein is what I've been giving it to, making sure to have at least the 90-grams my body weight usually required.

I've also kept my silly self at home and indoors.

The current weather has made that much easier.

Gone, for now, are the high's in the 80's.

Now, we're lucky if the thermometer crawls up to 70, and the night-time is bottoming out near 50.

That's why I put the heated mattress pad - and the flannel sheets - onto the bed.

I had tried to resist until November came, but...

the heat is much kinder to my arms, even with me rubbing them several times a day.

I woke up this morning feeling like a new woman!

Now, I've had ham-noodle soup and a healthy dose of Michael Rooker, in the form of "Love And Monsters", graciously provided by epix...

i thank You, God.

This is my third time seeing the movie and I find more reasons to like it every time I see it.

I definitely need to share it with Bonnie and my Beaufort boys.

Now, to take out the trash and recyclables and find another film to keep me inside -

I mean, to keep me occupied.

Hmmm.... maybe it's time to cook that butternut squash, too!

(smile!)
