My first flu shot

I got the flu shot the other day - they offered it free at work. Although in years past I've ignored this offer, this year I am so busy and around a lot of nose-picking children that I'd rather avoid getting sick, if possible. I overcame my fear of needles for the brief 10 seconds it took (I usually recite the alphabet forwards & backwards as fast as possible when needles stab my skin). It wasn't too bad.

The funniest part is when the nurse put the band aide on my shoulder. She mistakenly thought one of my freckles was where the needle went in - she was off by an inch, so I ended up with two band aides!

  1. I wondered what you were chanting that day. You'll be glad you got your shot! Lane
