Vaccine

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

Today was the first day of Spring Break for me and my 2 year old daughter. I am a teacher, so I get a week off work. I had big, fun plans for us today, but we didn’t end up doing too much other than housework and watching Baltimore Satellite Dish TV. We started the morning off with an appointment to get her a vaccine (DTaP) at the doctor’s office. She did so great at the appointment. I held her on my lap and nursed her while she got the vaccine, and she barely even cried. She was really excited about the colorful Band Aids and sticker they gave her. But now her leg is all sore, and she has been tired and grouchy all afternoon. Poor girl. She’s just not herself. Every time she stands up to walk, she kind of whimpers and says her leg hurts. I read that this is a common side effect for this vaccine, but I still don’t like that. It will just be a day and night of TLC for the girl.

A good day to sit by the fire

Ever since my car accident, cold and wet weather has made me miserable. So, since it has been raining and snowing all day long today, it was a good day to sleep in my recliner chair beside the fireplace and nap off and on while enjoying our newly installed satellite television service. Everyone I know has been telling me that when there is bad weather we will suffer from bad television reception, but so far that hasn’t happened yet.
