Hello! How’s it going? Who’s down for running a 5k or 10k around Thanksgiving?!
Last night the girls came over and Bri brought Flame Broiler. Love that place.
I’ve decided to start watching Mad Med from the beginning so that capped off my night. So far I think it’s kinda slow/boring though. And I also think it should be called Ad Men. I dunno.
This morning I started off with a walk in my RER tee and Mizunos. I really enjoy just walking and talking to myself in my brain.
Then, I headed to doctor for a check up. I really love my doctor but she’s far away so I drove up with all the OC/LA traffic. But seriously she is the best. If you are in the Whittier/Norwalk/Downey area email me if you want her name.
It was just the usual exam stuff to make sure my hypochondria didn’t spread. But I do suspect I’m going to die… at some point. So, I’m trying to live life to the fullest for now 
Since I was there they automatically just gave me a flu shot (obviously I could have said no, but I rolled with it). I used to NEVER get flu shots because I’m healthy and religious about Vitamin C and sleep.
But last year between Oct-Nov I did 6 races back to back that required 8 cross country flights (read: germ boxes) so I made sure to get a flu shot. All that travel/time change/ airplane air and running 26.2 miles is hard on my immune system!
I was advised to show up without eating for blood tests. By the time I got out I was HANGRY. I rushed to my parent’s house (close by) and ate all their food. All of it.
Now I’m working from the kitchen with these perros.
And since I’m at my fam’s house here is a little Throwback Thursday action:
Question: Do you get a flu shot?
Do you drink whiskey? I’ve never tried it!
I get my flu shot every year and this year I got a Tdap booster too. Love whiskey!
I have to get a flu shot for my job, but I’ve been getting them for years!
I get a flu shot every year! And I love whiskey 🙂
Whiskey is my favorite! Bourbon is best. Whiskey and ginger ale is a good way to try it out 🙂
I am really inconsistent about getting a flu shot. It depends on where I’m working and if I’m going to be travelling much.
You got it Becky! Irish whiskey and ginger ale is the way to go. We call it Two Gingers here in the northern states.
I’m not much into whiskey either unless it’s fireball whiskey. Remember those fireball candies from back in jr. high…yeah …it tastes just like those. There’s also a Maple Whiskey that’s easy to drink. Anything else is bleh!
No flu shot for me! I’ve never (knock on wood) had the flu and I’ve also never had the flu shot. I’ve heard of way too many people getting the flu after the shot for me to risk it.
Also never tried whiskey. Which might get me kicked out because I live in TN. Whoops
I don’t get flu shot, but I do get occasional whiskey shot.
You’ve never tried whiskey?!?! I drink it every day. In cocktails, with water, in shot form. (Okay maybe every day is a sliiiight exaggeration. But you get my point.)
I had that same dress when I was two! I guess it was a super popular look. 🙂
I rarely get flu shots (because my chiro has made me a bit paranoid about them), but when I was a waitress, I made sure to get one, because I worked in a casino diner, and some of the people that came in were disgusting. We kept antibac under the counter at the registers for a reason. They also provided the shots for free, so who was I to turn it down? Haven’t gotten one in years, though.
Never had whiskey, but I don’t think I’d like it. I do like bourbon though.
I work in a hospital, so it is mandatory that we get flu shots. If I wasn’t required to get one to keep my job, I probably wouldn’t. I’ve never had the flu before, not even when I was a kid. So I guess I don’t really know how bad it is if you do get sick…?
Happy Friday! 🙂
Never had the flu shot–other than the occasional cold, pretty darn healthy…
Not much for whiskey (seriously, took me 4 tries to spell it correctly!). But I’ll toast your shot with a glass of red…
I do get the flu shot because I work in healthcare and most hospitals/offices in my area mandate it for employees. I definitely think it’s a good thing….though it only covers 3 strains (there is one that covers 4.) So of course the last two years I got the flu shot, I also got the flu. Bummer. It’s a gamble. I have had whiskey….that also seems like it might prevent/destroy the flu virus. It’s pretty rough.
I actually have to get a flu shot for work…it’s mandatory. People get laid off if they don’t.
Personally I am a tequila girl myself so that would be a no on the whiskey question.
I don’t drink alcohol. Also, no to the flu shot. Never have. I’ve thought about it a couple times when flu season got scary but I’ve been good without it so far so I just keep hoping it’ll stay that way.
I don’t drink alcohol.
Whiskey is my boyfriend. But really.
I’ve never had a flu shot, but I got violently ill with the flu last year so it’s probably time to get one…
Never ever ever have I had a flu shot & I can’t remember the last time I was sick. All my friends that get them though always are sick. Strange how that works.
I usually get the shot when I go in and they say “There’s nothing wrong with you .” OR “It’s a virus. There’s nothing we can do for you.”
Alright, just gimme the flu shot, then it’s not a waste of time.
Mad Men is great, esp the first few seasons. that show will make you want to drink all sorts of fancy things. Whiskey isn’t my thing, but I don’t know that I’ve ever tried the good stuff either.
I have to get a flu shot for my job, or wear a mask all winter long. flu shot it is!
I usually don’t get the flu shot these days but I did religiously when I was younger.
I hope you’re doing okay!
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a flu shot… but I did have the flu two years ago in January, and it was HORRIBLE. So, lesson learned, I suppose!
I’ve never tried whiskey – I can’t get past the smell! I do love me some gin though, it’s like Christmas in a cup!
I’m from Kentucky originally, so I’m all about a good bourbon (preferably neat, but if someone knows how to make a good old fashioned without diluting with soda water, I’ll give it a go)!
Yes to the flu shot. Too many people with too many walking petri dishes (kids) not to have one!
Haha! I completely agree with the Petri dish reference.
mmmm- what do you mean you have never tried whiskey??? What did you drink in college??? I feel like you should go get a bottle of Rebel Yell right now-I don’t even like it that much- but how fun is that name?
Yes, and I totally pick nail polish based on the name so I feel like I should with alcohol too 🙂
Don’t give up on Mad Men! It’s a slow build, but worth it. There are some crazy eps. And just a fun fact for ya, the “Mad” in the title is a reference to Madison Avenue — where all those Ad Execs used to work in NYC back in the day. But ..you’ll also notice as the show progresses…it’s really probably because they’re all f-ing crazy. =)
I’ve only had whiskey once at a friend’s birthday party. I don’t know if it was the shot or the whiskey, but it was pretty horrible. I haven’t had the courage to try it again.
I haven’t received my flu shot yet for this flu season, but I’m planning on it! Better to be safe than sorry.
I drink whiskey–bourbon is my favorite, actually. I think it helps stave off the flu, too. 🙂
