Shingles, Follow-Up

The thing about getting older – there are additional things to be concerned about, medically. Today was a bit of a follow-up, from my earlier lame birthday present at the start of the year.

Shingles vaccines are done in two phases, with the second shot happening a few months after the first. It’s important to get both, so today… part two.

An odd sign to see, in the Northwestern parking garage. Odd, but memorable I guess.

A tiny little vial.

This seemed somewhat appropriate: in my rush to get to my appointment on time, I was running pretty low on gas. In fact, it’s as low as I’ve ever dared. Down to one bar, and the low gas light actually came on.

Perhaps there’s a little more room to go? I do wonder if the car will still run when there are zero bars, or if everything just shuts off like a light switch.

Happy to report I made it to a gas station in time, and didn’t need to find out. But definitely cut this one pretty close.
