Well, y'know, it's Monday.....



Well, maybe not shine so much exactly ’n Gawd knows I didn’t rise too aw’fly early either…at least the 2nd time I rose…the first time wuz at 5:sumthing or other (still blaming the time change thing)….then back to bed cuz it wuz obviously much too early to be out ’n about…
Anyhow, t’day wuz flu shot Monday…we picked up Pat Martens (our 95 yr old orange-haired Irish friend who has been half the world over but somehow missed Ireland)…we’ve been taking her for flu shot for 10 or 12 years or thereabouts…she has macular degeneration ’n we have basically the same conversation ev’ry time…(Dad had macular degeneration ’n it always amazes me how much blind people c’n actually see…My Aunt Eunice was the same ~ we’d drive miles down a country road ’n out of the blue, she’d say “Turn left at the bend in the road ’n she wuz always right)…
I barely remember my Great Grandparents tho’ I c’n recall visiting their home when I wuz small…My great grandmother wuz blind the last 20 years of her life ’n I imagine that she had macular degeneration tho’ they didn’t call it that way back then….ah well….
People love conspiracy theories ’n one of the most favorite at this time of year is about flu shots…lot’sa people tell me that they never get flu shots becuz every time they got  a shot, they caught the flu…
