I started the New Year off wrong, got sick - cursing myself for forgetting to wear a mask to the grocery store a couple of times.   Thankfully not covid or rsv - but a nasty bug that is going around.  Still coughing but coughs take a while to go away.

Wishing everyone a happy & healthy 2024!!

Hope you feel better now, Mel!
The other day when Steven and I were at the store, I did notice more {not by much, mind you} people wearing masks.  Usually it's just us.   Even my sister doesn't wear one in the stores now.
As soon as the RSV vaccine is approved here in Canada, Steven and I will be getting it!  Or doc wanted to give it to us when we got our flue shots, but it wasn't approved.
I have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow and I will be wearing my mask.

You are so smart Cindy (and Steven) for wearing your masks - just can't be too cautious!!   It was twice I forgot my mask at the grocery store, dumb mistake and I paid for it.  Still coughing and still tired.   I need to ask my doctor about the RSV immunization - guess it won't bother our platelets.  

I need to go find my favorite photographers page, it's been a while since I was sick :)

We're just not comfortable around crowds yet.  Which is going to prove interesting.  I turn 65 in July, and I want to go to one of our local restaurants for my birthday.  They have these felt moose ears you can wear on your b'day.  Of course, I don't even know if they still do that because of Covid!  I'll have to look into it.
I'm glad you don't have Covid.  We'd never know if we had it since between the two of us, we have all they symptoms.  And have had long before it was a thing!
We've only been out once this year.  It's that time of year where we go by the weather.  Haven't checked to see what this weekend is looking like.  Hopefully we'll get out!
Hope the cough goes away and you aren't so tired soon!
