So I got the second Moderna shot on Monday morning, and things seemed fine until around 10:00 PM or so when I went into sudden and body-wracking chills that lasted for a few hours even hunkered down into the heated waterbed.

And once they went away, a fever started and ramped up to 102f by 3:30 AM. When I woke back up at 4:30 AM to check, it had ( Read more... )

I am very fond of scraping stuff up off the bottom of the pan and making a nice sauce out of it...

I've finally replaced it with a new 2020 Mazda Miata RF 100th Anniversary Edition. (Anniversary of the company Mazda.) I finally was able to pick it up on Saturday from the dealer down in San Jose. Today, the weather was gorgeous and so I took a mental health day to ( Read more... )

For this year's family trip, the folks were going to take us all to Singapore and Bali. They've decided to cancel that trip due to the coronavirus thingy.
