Please keep your thoughts and focus on Ukraine and its' people. With time, it's all too easy to start thinking of that war as old-news. NOT when more and more war crimes are being discovered everyday.
Happy that you were able to get that second booster shot, K2. What brand did you get? Like us, I hope you didn't get anything from it other than a slight soreness in the spot you got the shot, and maybe a little bit of tiredness. Since you aren't yet willing to get rid of your "collectibles", this still might be a good time to take an inventory of what all you've got.
I once had a bout of painful gout. Luckily it was short lived, thanks to some drugs. At its' worst, I remember it felt like there was glass chips in one of my knees. Needed to go to the Emergency Room so I could straighten my leg out, without screaming.
Breaking news, BB! I don't think that you running this boarding house is good for you anymore. You should be staying off your feet more, but every day you're running to the kitchen to cook for other people.
Another dull but enjoyable day for me. I've come to like quiet, dull, and pretty much uneventful days. Gone are the days of my 20's and 30's when I was always looking for excitement.
