Had the shingles years ago on my lower neck just above my collar bone. That wasn't fun. Last year I started to get similar looking bumps in nearly the same spot. I used some benadryl cream on the place for a week or so and it went away, so I'm not sure if it was shingles again or not.

Anyway, enjoy getting older!

Had annual physical today. Not a bit of it fun of course, but got the shingles vaccine. Really not fun.

I mean really....not fun.

 

Got the shingles vaccine (2 dose) and both shots kicked my ass for a good day or two.   Hell of a lot better than getting shingles but it’s the only vaccine that’s ever triggered a strong reaction.   
 

it sucks because you feel sick but in the back of your mind you know your just fake sick so you try to function like normal and still feel just as awful as you would if you were really sick.   Made that mistake with the first dose. 
 

Second dose I just crawled into bed.

I already had taken Friday off and had plans to go out of town for the weekend. I had that running through my mind....I'm not really sick. It's all in my head. We didn't leave until Friday afternoon and I r tired to be normal but I've just felt like crap. It's getting better now, but I really should have stayed home. Next time I am just going to throw in the towel and stay home. No use in messing around with it.

personally, on the journey of getting old(er)....I have been really excited about the crazy and super growth of ear and nose hair. 

it's overrated. grow your hair long and they don't notice the ear hair so much. btw, it's little more painful than you'd think not as bad as yanking nose hair, but still not a great feeling. will wake you up when you're tired and trying to drive, though.

I could not be more thankful that I still have my health and mental faculties and I just turned 68. 

I walk a couple miles on a trail thru the woods every morning with our 2 dogs; I try to always have a project going on- refinishing or re-imagining a piece of furniture; tinkering in my shop.

We've been doing Home Chef for over 4 years now- 3 dinners a week. That's as good as my diet gets. 

Couple minor injuries have kept me out of the gym for some time, but I feel ready to get back to a regular treadmill and weight training 3 times a week.

Volunteer work is a day a week, but fulfills my need to be of service.

Mom passed at 93 and dad is still kickin' it at 96, so maybe I've got a few more years.

Oh, and when you hit Medicare age, you're getting a "physical" every 6 months. One of those is just a "wellness check." Had any falls lately? Know what day of the week it is? Who's the president?

My morning yesterday, got 5 hairs in one pull.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
