I made it through last week. Whew! When I have two things that I hate to do but it has to be done, it is a horrible week. Now onto this week! Our second vaccine shot happens this week for me, my dh and my dd. I have meals prepped for those first three days and drinks on standby if needed. We are good to go with medicine for aches and fevers.
