I also had a strange headache behind my left ear-but it wasn't agonizing. I never get headaches so I'm pretty sure it was shot related. Here in Pierce County we're probably getting bumped down to Phase 2 because our cases are going up. :( I'm being good, but so many aren't.

My favorite Audrey ...Ah, yes--living your dash. :)<br />My favorite Audrey Hepburn movie is Wait Until Dark! I have the documentary in my queue and will bump it up. I admired her so much as a person. No, didn't realise she died so young. That does seem young to me but that's because people in our family usually live into their 80s and 90s and I had a grandma live to be 104. Speaking of the dash--she managed to live into 2000--LOL! On the headstone they had already carved 1896-19__. Had to carve off the 19--LOL! Leave it to Anna to make things diffcult for people. ;)<br />Happy spring!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-90671359126026548802021-03-29T03:56:28.057-07:002021-03-29T03:56:28.057-07:00That is a new term to me, but it is one that I hop...That is a new term to me, but it is one that I hope to remember although I can't count on that. :)<br /><br />Still a bit jealous of the vaccine progress in the US, but I wasn't jealous for the previous 12 months, so let's call it even. :)Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-76642340637285028842021-03-28T20:41:35.870-07:002021-03-28T20:41:35.870-07:00We're about a month past our second Moderna sh...We're about a month past our second Moderna shot. Really good to have a visitor in our little place from time to time, or to visit someone else's. <br /><br />We have a target date of May 1 to fly home to Seattle for six months - depends on several little medical things. It's warming up here in Tucson - in the 80s all next week and 90 next Saturday. So I expect we'll be ready.<br /><br />I like the dash too - reminds me to keep on keeping on!Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-52096076232811209682021-03-28T18:02:57.546-07:002021-03-28T18:02:57.546-07:00Personally I feel better for having my shot but as...Personally I feel better for having my shot but as a world I think we have many more problems ahead. Here we are heading into a third wave. Vaccinating is slow and variants are fast. Our vaccination program is a shambles.

The concept of “living the dash” is new to me. I like it … it does put things in perspective. I smiled at your example. “It refers to the line used in obituaries between one's birth year and one's death, as in (my case) 1942–21xx.” I think you meant 1942—20xx. Truth be told, either of us might set a new record if we live to 2100. :-) I did love Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Definitely worth watching again. And I do think there is a beauty in all humans … or at least most of them … as they enter the “evening” of their years. I think some would call that beauty wisdom. Happy to hear you’ve been fully vaccinated and able to go forward as safely as possible. Thank you for the post. Until next Sunday, take care and be well.

So glad you are done with the vaccinations. We are seeing a surge in cases here in Minnesota. Paige is still real sick...she says the headache is horrid...we are checking in by phone with her everyday....she has meals and medications and if she needs something we will drop it off for her. I feel so sorry for her. <br />Take care and have a good week!

I admired her more as a person than as a "star". And yes, that was too young for she was using her dash wisely. <br />So glad you are fully vaccinated. Me too and like you not too much will change. Still wear the mask and will still avoid large gatherings. It is a bit scary that the numbers are picking up again in so many states. Heard this morning that we may need booster shots for the variants. Sigh.

I feel like I'm in your neck of the woods today DJan, it's not cold here in Pittsburgh but it's very rainy & gray and I've got all my windows open & airing out my place quite nicely. I've never heard of that saying 'living the dash', but it's always been obvious to me you take little for granted; we should all live that way. I saw that documentary 'Audrey' a week ago, I watched it because my own mom adored her. (I was also pretty surprised she died so young, but I DO think 63 is premature--it's the age both my own mom & dad died.) But I found it heartbreaking too, she longed for her dad her entire life, only to learn... I don't want to share it here and spoil it for others who haven't seen it, but it tore my heart in two. Anyway, glad to hear you're fully vaccinated now and hope your week ahead is full of those blossoms :^)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-74802708305264975572021-03-28T10:05:44.011-07:002021-03-28T10:05:44.011-07:00I get my second Pfizer vaccine tomorrow morning an...I get my second Pfizer vaccine tomorrow morning and it's such a relief to know I'll be covered as well as possible. I had read the full coverage is 7 days after the 2nd shot for Pfizer and 14 days for Moderna. Since I'm driving cross country next Monday, I sure hope the 7 days is correct. I'm glad you didn't have many side effects. Hubby didn't have any. Barely knew where the needle went in.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-24534123267680814582021-03-28T08:16:10.507-07:002021-03-28T08:16:10.507-07:00Good morning.

I don't know if I'll get a walk in today. It continues to be a struggle and I am not inclined to walk in cold rain.<br />I saw the Netflix promo for the Audrey bio and put it on my list. Now I will watch it for sure. We watched the Oscar nominated movie "Minari" last night and it left me feeling down. So far we have seen three of the nominated movies, and after those I am not inclined to try very hard to see the rest. They seem to be downers.<br />We have several health crisis going on in our family right now, a newborn baby and my older sister, and across the miles I an trying to stay informed and provide some support and comfort. With my own discouragement at my lack of physical progress, I don't need downers. I will watch some more basketball today. Oregon State entertained me yesterday with a win. Today we have Gonzaga and University of Oregon, good representation of the PNW in the NCAA. I'm still an Oregonian by birth and youth.<br />I hope are enjoying your day. Having been vaccinated does give a bit more of a sense of freedom. Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
