Yes, I know its February (and perhaps a little late for a resolution). Yes, I know most of you kept your New Year’s Resolution a total of 3 days, 16 hours, 42 minutes, and 38 seconds, but really, who’s counting? And yes, I realize the flu season is almost over. But here is my New Year’s Resolution for 2012 and for every year in the future.
GET A FLU SHOT!!!
Can you guess why I’m writing this? Cause I’m sick in the bed with a 103 fever. I know, cry me a river, right? I live near a CVS with a flu shot clinic. I drive by the local health department every time I go to the grocery store but can never ‘make the time’ to get that flu shot they are always advertising. Well I’m finally putting my foot down. Not because I was smart enough to be proactive but because sometimes reactive is better than nada.
There may be only less than 2 months left of the flu virus but that is still 62 (60 to be exact) days that I could contract this thing they call a virus again. So, as soon as this body is up and able – we’ll be trotting over to the CVS. And this coming September….you guessed right…we’ll be first in line (camped outside) anxiously awaiting that flu vaccination!
Hope you & yours are healthy and well! Jess
I had a similar experience. I had the flu one time about 12 years ago, and, from that point on, I was pretty sure I never wanted to be that sick again (especially if one little shot once/year could prevent it). I don’t remember if they had flu shots that long ago, but I know I’ve gotten one for at least the past 10 years. And I haven’t had the flu since!
Let’s have a lunch date and we’ll get flu shots together.
