That sucks that it's so easy to have $500 stolen :(

Yeah, I've been told it also makes one a bit skittish about going back into the field, which is understandable. But they do anyway!
I didn't ask but I imagine having to file the police report was unpleasant.

Mauhaus is not far from me and it's the best cat cafe in North America. I love it so much.

So what's developed since my last post is the guest dog has become way more interested in getting into a fight with the neighbor dog than playing with my dog. My dog doesn't understand what the gently caress and just wants to play.

It's like doggie Facebook here in the back yard.

I have seen an owl cafe. It's freaky. Those aren't birds that should be kept like that imo.
Also saw a hedgehog cafe.

Right now I am making vegan toad in the hole, already a perilous proposition, but I'm making it with lupin flour which I've basically never used for anything before, and I didn't measure any of the ingredients and I didn't have the size of tin I was intending to use. Wish me luck!

When a family friend visited Japan we met up in Tokyo. They went to an owl cafe in Shibuya but I waited outside because I have a phobia of birds.

It worked okay. The lupin flour made it have a slightly gritty texture more like fried mashed potato rather than the bready batter it would normally be. I wouldn't do it again, but I might do half-lupin half-regular, because the flavor was a bit more interesting than plain flour batter.

Shingles free 4lyfe!

Ow, my poor arm. Also, "possible flu-like symptoms" are common after the second shot, so I'm prepared to leave work early, if necessary. Gosh darn, that would be a shame.

Woohoo! Grats! I really need to get the shingles vaccination, but I hate needles, and it seems that 2021 is the year of poking holes in my arm.

My mom had shingles and maybe also covid but now we think just shingles? around thanksgiving and you do not want shingles!!!! She still gets occasional weird sensations and pain from it. That needle will last half a second and shingles will hurt worse and for longer

Get The Shot! I've had four shots and three blood draws in less than six months and I, too, hate needles. But Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) (a not-uncommon side-effect of shingles) can last for years after the rash goes away.

Shingrix is really good, too. Like around 90% efficacy. I should probably ask for it when I go in for my next physical.

E: Ms. Cruft just read to her surprise that they completely got rid of Zostravax in September. You can't get a Zostravax shot in the United States. Wow. It was about 50% effective, which isn't terrible. When Shingrix first came out it was in high demand and I couldn't get it at all, but I guess those days are behind us now!

She should keep trying. I was referred for the vaccine in November of 2020 and was told to start trying to call to get an appointment after January 2021 because they were booked and didn't have any more Shingrix in any local hospital. In September I was finally able to schedule my first shot, which was in late December, the day before my first Moderna shot. They automatically scheduled me for the second, which was helpful. Being on immune suppressants puts me in the high-risk zone for shingles, so I am feeling -very- relieved!
