“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
On a more personal level, I'd tell you that I went to a travel clinic to get my vaccinations for our trip and now I have two red welts the size of my palm on each of my arms. They're swollen, hot, itchy, and painful. The nurse said that if I didn't have an allergic reaction in the first 20 minutes (which I didn't) I'd be fine, but it's been two days now and I'm slightly concerned. I'll wait it out for one more then see if I need to follow up...
For those who are curious, in preparation of going to Central America I received my tetanus, Hep A, and flu shots (for free -- go Canada!), and paid $55 for a typhoid vaccination as well. I'll also be taking anti-malarial meds while I'm down there. None of the needles particularly hurt, but my left arm (where I got my typhoid shot) ached for two days and was very painful to the touch. Last night however, my right arm (where I got my Tet+Hep and flu shots) was red, swollen, and on fire. Hopefully these reactions won't last for much longer.

I'm smiling because I secretly have Baileys in my mug :)

Vaccinations are the worst. Kyle always has to get them because of his job and he almost alway has an reaction. Btw since you asked... his deployment is getting cut short next month! But only because they're sending him to school in Chicago but his schedule will be normal and he won't be living on a ship so I'm ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for your trip like I'm the one going. Can't wait to see your pictures!!!
AHH That's such wonderful news!!!!!!!! Long distance in country is a million times better than long distance and being deployed. I'd love to read some posts about romantic weekends in Chicago when we guys get to visit each other regularly :)
DeleteYikes! I've never traveled anywhere where I've needed vaccinations but oh needles!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is cute and I love the Baileys shot! :)
Oh needles is right!! And let's be real, my outfit isn't that cute but it sure is comfy lol ;) What can I say -- working from home and elastic waist pants go hand in hand for me.
DeleteOooh so many shots! Boo! But so exciting because it really means that your travels are so close!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, my "lounging" outfit is not nearly as cute as yours... you look great!
That's the positive attitude I should be adopting! Thankfully my reactions have calmed down and now I just have two purple bruises. As for my comfy clothes, the pics in this post are obviously glammed up a notch. Currently I'm in baggie sweats and no makeup so don't worry, we all have our days.
DeleteI like the name of your car! :-) I love men's shirt and majority of mine are mens. Cute and comfy look with the leggings. Nothing exciting on my end but have a great time on your holiday visits.

His full name is Peppy LePepster to be perfectly honest. Makes me laugh every time!
DeleteThanks for the holiday wishes & all the best to you and yours! <3
