M- Sorry to heard about that.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

**Astra** · 10-02-2009, 06:06 PM

Well... got my flu shot today....

The witch jammed that sucker hard into my arm too... I've had them before where I could barely feel them.... don't know what was up w/ the nurse...

Anyhoo... I normally don't get one... but for some reason felt that I needed to this year....

**Mio** · 10-03-2009, 08:23 AM

I'm supposed to get one this year but they're reserving it for the elderly which sucks because they're making me get an H1N1 shot and I don't want an H1N1 flu shot... I want the regular old flu shot... plus I need the regular old flu shot because I'm asthmatic!

**Astra** · 10-04-2009, 08:05 AM

I would think that'd put you in the risk group and thus they'd give it to you...

I am still considering having my son get the h1n1 shot... but I need to research it more.

**Mio** · 10-04-2009, 01:34 PM

H1N1 is the flu... plain and simple. It's just another strain of the flu that is evolving. The media is freaking everyone out as if it were the plague.

I do need to be careful with colds though... a lot of people I know are coming down with colds. I've been pumping myself with Vitamin C!

**Astra** · 10-05-2009, 08:53 AM

Yeah... the media is a little hyper about it... Primarily because it's hitting younger populations rather than older ones... (kids, pregnant women etc...)

It does make me nervous for my son....

**Mio** · 10-05-2009, 10:20 AM

I've got the flu... work wants me to go see my doctor to make sure it's not H1N1. Paranoid, they are.

It's just the regular flu... no pig tail

**Astra** · 10-05-2009, 10:26 AM

Uh oh... we jinxed you talking about it!

**Mio** · 10-05-2009, 03:51 PM

I got tested for H1N1; my doctor doesn't think I have it, but it was done out of precaution. That is NOT a fun test! They stick a cotton swab way up your nose until it goes into a sinus cavity and then they stick one in the back of your throat. Bleah!

**Astra** · 10-07-2009, 12:50 PM

Sounds sorta like the strep test. Evil.

Those make me gag.

So.... is it too early to ask what everyone's doing (if anything) for Halloween?

I finally got a couple of pumpkins the other day... don't know if I'll carve them or just wait and then make pumpkin pies out of them after Halloween...

**Mio** · 10-07-2009, 03:30 PM

Not sure. I'll be unpacking/reorganizing from moving, so we might and might not hand out candy. We didn't last year, but I think we want to again this year. We just might buy tons of candy for ourselves and watch movies.

People are so flipping rude. I was at Costco after work today and while I was shopping inside, someone parked next to me... opened their car door real wide and put a large white scrape and dent into my back driver side passenger door. I'm sure I can buff out the scrape, but boy was I pissed. He/she didn't even leave a note. Well of course not when it will cost him/her $200 the next time to renew their car insurance/driver's licence. Now because they didn't step forward I would have to foot the $200 deductable. No thanks! I'll fix it on my own.

**Lost in Translation** · 10-07-2009, 06:11 PM

Fact is the flu evolves, I'm concerned that even though we (generally) are willing to inject one strain into us we're unable to fight off later strains.

**Mio** · 10-10-2009, 04:03 PM

It snowed last night. We got a dumping.. 12cm. Ugh. Snow.

And now I have a cold! Ugh.

**Lost in Translation** · 10-10-2009, 05:06 PM

Keep it there! Keep it there! For the love of all that is good, keep the snow away!
