I got my second shot yesterday!!! Woot woot!!! So relieved. But it woke me up in the night...my arm hurt like hell. They warned me that because I got sick with the first shot it may be worse this time. But...Peter had a job interview at the Nitinaht fish hatchery today. I really really really wanted to go today and I just didn't want to be sick.
This morning I got up and hopped out of bed feeling better than I have for a long time!!! I had energy and was feeling mighty happy inside. Like, go figure!!! And the great feeling lasted all day! Now it is nine o'clock, I am so flipping tired but feel great!
The trip took pretty much all day. We left here at around ten fifteen this morning and landed at home at around eight thirty. I popped into BuyLow whilst Peter filled the truck and bought sandwiches, cookies, plums and drinks. I also bought a bag of ice for the soft sider and off we went. It is 86ish kilometres, bone bashing kilometres, to Nitinaht. You go up the Bamfield road half way and take off from their on the Cowichan road to a turn off to Nitinaht. We got lost at one point. We entered the wee native village and asked at the gas station for instructions on how to get to the hatchery. We still couldn't find it.
Finally, as we were heading back to the gas station we saw a fellow on the side of the road attaching a row boat to the top of his gladiator. We stopped, asked, and he was heading that way so we followed him. Peter had a good interview! It is so beautiful there.
We decided to head back through Youbou to Chemanis and up the highway home. It was so nice to be on pavement!!! even if there were a million cars. Poor Monte! His back is killing him tonite!
We made one other stop at Cameron Lake and the boys went for a swim. They swim every single day! It looks like it is going to get hot again so they will enjoy heading out to their favourite swimming holes.
Now, next on my list is getting my labs done and preparing for a colonoscopy on August 26. I don't seem to be worried this time like usual. I really liked the doctor that phoned me. He was so reassuring. So I need to make sure the only drug store in town has the prep stuff.
I also need to figure out the timing of my next shingrix shot. I don't think it can happen before a month after the covid shot and it has to be done within six months of March 12th, the date of the first shingrix vaccine. Sigh! Math. (shovel list)
Now I am starving. The boys are not eating anymore tonite so I am on my own. Either a bowl of soup or a veggie sandwich. Mmmmm......Take care, noodle (still) and hug an elder. TTYL
