daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
We’re in serious decluttering mode here, and I’ve been trying to sell and give away things on Facebook marketplace. Recently I sold a bicycle, some shelves, and donated a bunch to Goodwill. The motorcycle helmet above is also for sale! At one time I had three helmets. When I upgraded to a new helmet, I just kept the old one… but I really only need one. So, let’s clear out the old stuff!
This happened on Tuesday, and although I think the symptoms are mild, I am not 100% so my daily photos/posts will be delayed a bit. Not to fear, I am still taking photos everyday! It’s just hard to catch up on the posts. Hopefully I’ll feel better soon.
Mariko framed three paintings that our friend Yellow created, then our son’s girlfriend, who is studying interior design, recommended a good spot for them, and then I hung them.
I think they look pretty good there, although they are not completely level in the photo. :)
I got my Moderna Bivalent booster and this year’s flu shot today at CVS. I simply went to cvs.com and signed up for a next-day appointment. And while I was checking in at the store, I asked if I could get the flu shot as well. Super-easy!
I got the COVID booster in my left arm and flu shot in my right arm, and I am feeling fine, apart from sore shoulder muscles. I’ve been fortunate to have had zero side-effects from the COVID vaccines and flu shots. 😀
While waiting at CVS after getting the shots, I saw the Mulan toy hanging out with the other plush toys. Is Mulan still popular for the kids?
Hopefully I will stay healthy for the rest of the year. I’m looking forward to some traveling and camping trips!
I am getting close to finishing my current notebook, which is a rare thing. I tend to buy lots of notebooks, but most are either empty or barely used. Over the past few months, though, I’ve been consistently jotting little sentences and phrases down in the notebook that my son Bay bought for me when he went to New York City a couple of years ago.
The game-changer has been my Miseyo date stamp. It’s so fun to use each morning, and it gets me in the mood for writing… even just a few words here and there. 😀
