My Day: Wednesday

Today was fairly uneventful. We both slept late. I knew I would need a good five hours after staying up all night long. I got up right before noon and got started on the morning chores and feeding dogs and chickens. I then got a package ready to return that needed mailing off at the post office so took care of that. I have another return that has a pre-paid Fed. Ex. postage label but we don't have a Fed. Ex. in town. I do think that they make pick ups at the drug store though. I will check on that probably Friday. I had trouble getting the label to print. It was either too small or very big taking up the whole 8 1/2" by 11" area of the paper. We settled for the latter and will just bring the other half of the page to the side. I managed to get the information I needed for the Medicaid paperwork for my mother on the phone and came home and finished that application for renewal. I will drop this off at the office in Baton Rouge tomorrow since we are going that way instead of trusting the mail to get it there before the 9-2-21 deadline. My husband has a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I scheduled my appointment for first dose of the Covid vaccine. Might as well get that done since the new varients are proving to be worse than the first round. This does look like something that will require annual booster shots and I am not happy about that. I ended up taking a nap late in the day today and now I feel better but still drowsey and I feel like I could crawl back in bed. But I am going to stay up and work on notifications and do a bit of reading here. How was your day today? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain (Geese swimming in pond)

Me too and hope to never see any more from them but I do believe it is an annual renewal. Next time I feel like just stamping "The Same" on every page and returning.

@wolfgirl569 Yep, pain in the rear! Life is so complicated. I just want to be a kid again! Oh no, maybe a rebellious teen. That would be more fun.

@kareng I feel that way with our financial assistance for medical bills that the Ohio Health group offers. I have to renew that every 6 months

You got a lot done. I'm glad you had a good night's sleep. It's a good plan to take that paperwork to Baton Rouge instead of sending it in the mail. My day was good. I hope you have a good day today.

I decided to put it in the mail anyway. I need a check to clear before they go investigating and checking bank balances. So much fun--Not! And a lot of it is out of my hands.

@just4him There should be a delay in the office getting to it anyway with this hurricane. I know state offices will be closed at least on Monday and probably longer.

I am not at all happy about booster shots, let's hope they will come out with something better in the future. Take time to rest after the vaccine shot.

I know but it is inevitible with all the varients coming out. I have been a bit tired and a slight headache started about an hour ago. I'm going to call it a night here soon and go to bed early!!

@LadyDuck I am hoping that the second dose is no worse than the first.

We are in crisis mode now at work. Our entire management team is out right now with Covid (delta variant). Corporate had to send in people from all over the region to help us out. There's barely a skeleton crew working, as many of our hourly employees are out with Covid as well. It's been pretty rough lately.

I'm sorry to hear this. It sounds like it would be rough going. Hang in there and stay safe. NO 4th rounds!!!

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're getting your vaccination. We are waiting to get the new shot. They are starting to give them out in September.

@kareng I don't know whether it is a booster or a new vaccine; but they will start giving them in September.

@LindaOHio That is probably a booster to be given 6 -7 months after first doses of vaccine.

And you have been hiding the fact that you were a juggler?

@DocAndersen It's odd how some things are relazing to other that would seem like they would not be relaxing at all! I'd be worried I was fixing to miss the next one!! That would definitely be a nervious activity for me!!

Hubby didn't get a shot. He had a dr. apt for his diabetes. He got some new medicine today. I had my first covid vaccine. It wasn't bad.

It really is when 98% of the information is the same info they already have.

@kareng I think sometimes they want you to give up and walk away.
