Immunization

I am thankful for immunization shots.  Sam received his Typhoid shot tonight.  He drove me to the clinic and I drove him back home.  $62.  We paid in cash as it would cost a little more if we used our bank card.  Somehow, between the two of us, we came up with the $62.  I handed the lady $65 expecting $3 change and she asked if we had $2.  Sam had $2 and we were all happy.  Before Sam received his shot, we heard a long, loud scream or cry for someone who may have been a little boy.   That unsettled me.  The male nurse called for Sam.  He went in and took the shot on the left arm with nary a whine or whimper.  He took a little bit of typhoid now so when he confronts a lot of typhoid, his body will be prepared.  There must be a gospel lesson there.  I have had many shots.  I have not had my flue shot yet this year. When I take the flu shot, a few weeks later I have flu-like symptoms of runny nose and cough.  Or, maybe I imagine this.

I am thankful for batteries.  My laptop computer runs on batteries.  Sometime, I can run my laptop by attaching a chord that charges up the battery.  Yesterday, I was using the laptop with the plug in to the wall outlet.  When I packed-up my laptop for travel I forgot about the chord and left it behind.  Later on, I remembered I had left behind my chord.  This morning I went to the place where I left my chord and it was still there.  I felt good to see it there, grabbed the chord and packed it into my laptop bag.

I am thankful for pizza.  Today is pizza day.  Elaine went to the store and bought some frozen pizza,  We had pizza for dinner.
