Rabbit. Rabbit! Rabbit!!

Shot #4 Booster #2

My son Beorn, now 28 years old but still on the spectrum, will only sleep on flannel sheets, even though he lives in Florida. He claims everything else is too stiff or rough, no matter how soft I can get them. I can only imagine he would go in to full hibernation if I were to spring for a fleece blanket...

Oh. My. Stars... The density of the King Cake works very well with my cuppa joe this morning.

Since it is Carnival season, I decided to try making a low carb King Cake for my birthday. I didn't put a charm/baby in it, but it was a fun experiment. Freshly rolled and just starting to rise. Well, bah. The top came off when I removed the towel after the rise. Fresh out of the oven. A bit brown, but I think that's the cinnamon "sugar" since the top layer came off. The base icing. The colored allulose. The inside. I was hoping for a lighter texture, and to be able to see the cinnamon swirls. Ah, well. My piece. It's a bit dense. But it's tasty.

Questions for friends in healthcare. I received an email last night from Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, where my doctors for breast cancer and leukemia are located, saying immunocompromised patients should now get four shots: if Pfizer the first two should be three weeks apart from each other, the third 28 days later, and now a fourth 5 months later. It sounds as though the third is now supposed to be a full dose, rather than a booster. I had followed the previous advice of two full doses three weeks apart and a booster five months later, with the booster being last August. I'm coming up on five months since the booster. Do I need to get a full dose to adjust for the dosage and timing of the third dose not currently meeting the timeline? Should I consider the mix and match approach and get Moderna, since the previous three were all Pfizer? And, has anyone else heard that immunocompromised patients should get a fourth dose? I know Israel has been doing such, but this is the first I heard, here. I don't even know if fourth doses are being offered anywhere, yet.

Ack, a day late. I hope those who observe the Orthodox calendar had a Joyous Little Christmas/Three Kings Day/Epiphany yesterday. May those reveling in Carnival and Mardi Gras let the good times roll!

May he heal well and go from strength to strength.

Ah...So there won't be any new codes shared?

Hey guys, I feel kinda silly that I can't find the thread. Where is the Kohl's thread for posting percent off codes? I have a 20%, but am hoping for a 30%, if not a 40% mystery code before the 14th when my refund Kohl's Cash for an item which was lost in shipping expires. ...which is another story that aggravates me no end. Why Kohl's Cash that expires, instead of a refund to my Kohl's card?

Since today is Orthodox Christmas...

I learned something new today. I'm prepared with an image for Christmas celebrated by the Orthodox Churches tomorrow. But, I found out the one country which celebrates today is Armenia. I'm trying to celebrate the season for everyone so... Merry Christmas!

Happy Three Kings Day/Little Christmas/Epiphany!

Day 12..!
