New Toy, Dandelions, Vaccine, Stock Up, Sodium, AT&T

 I got Tommy and I a new toy each. This is sort of like getting a new toy to distract a bored cat. Maybe. Are we bored cats? This is a little cup on a handle with a wooden ball on a string attached to the cup. I don't think I have ever gotten the ball in the cup, but today I did. He is better and got the ball in sooner. We both have one in different colors. 

Okay, I just caught the ball again. Again! Maybe I can get  better at this. 

Before Christmas, three dandelions had bloomed in the yard. Then, we were driving somewhere and saw a whole yard at some commercial place full of dandelions, maybe 100. They think it is spring here. Sine it is 69F here, maybe spring is here?

I called my allergist to discuss Covid vaccines. My daughter and I have had a serious allergic reaction to the Tetanus vaccine. So, I am now more afraid of the reaction I might have than Covid19! I asked him if he would be giving the vaccine. He said he has applied and is hoping he can. He has other patients who are afraid of an allergic reaction. 

He told me, yes, my inhalers can help if I start being ill. I had heard that, but wanted to be sure and check with him. So, I need to start carrying them with me. I need to take my EPI pen to the vaccine appointment. I feel somewhat relieved. Oh, I am to get my vaccine at the hospital where his office is located. After my 15 minutes there after the vaccine site, I will go immediately to his office where he will have me wait for an hour. 

I feel much better/more relieved after the telephone visit with my allergist. And, he advised me which ENT will be best for my tooth aftermath and fever. I called the oral surgeon who is going to get me a visit soon with the ENT. 

I went out and bought 6 cans of Hunts Diced Tomatoes,  No Salt added. I had to pay full price, $0.97. But, I will be on the lookout for sales. I accidentally bought one can that was not "no salt." The difference in sodium per half cup is astounding. 1/2 cup has15 mg  in no sodium and 200 mg in the can with sodium. I read cans. And, next year I will freeze or can tomatoes!

At last, my ATT cell service seems to be restored after the bombing in Nashville. It is amazing how one bomb can screw up so many services. If we had been stranded on the highway, there was no cell service to call for help. 

Have you ever had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine?

Too Tired

I just cannot bear to type a post. I will tomorrow. But, in the meantime, I need to know something about buying Legos. I asked Tommy if he had ever had Legos. No, he has not. I said I thought that would be something he would enjoy. He did not say anything, sort of a good sign. He did not yell or refute what I said.

So, where do I start? Are there different kinds? Best places to buy. I know they are abundant in Thrift stores. But, now might be a bad time to find them. I am going to look. I love thrift store toys because they are so cheap. As for new ones or old ones, give me some tips, please.

Tommy died

I am distraught! He died at 12:15 am on 3-14.
