System Failure !

Hey AC. Hope you enjoyed Christmas? 
Looking forward to an update from you

another_casualty

Not sure whether to continue with this diary , start another one or stop altogether . 

Anyway , I may as well update on a few things . Not so many this time as there is just too much to type ..

On 23rd I finally caved in / managed to get a booster jab 🥊. Jab no 3! 

This was not at my usual surgery who weren't doing them . I had to go to lilliput!
on the 2 days before I walked there 🐾as I wanted to make sure I'd be on time . Plus it was exercise . 🥵 it shows how out of condition I was until the day I actually was jabbed .
Liliput is lovely . A bit more pricey , and for rich pensioners or well heeled families 👢👢not far from sandbanks . The surgery is really nice and all staff really nice too. This proves that I made the correct decision to leave londonistan 5 years ago. You need a car though in case you forget a loaf of bread if you live there fo example 🥖

Mr trainer had issues a couple of weeks ago .🏋️‍♂️. His 5 year old  daughter caught 😷
Then he cancelled last weeks session due to being out of the country for Christmas 🎄
Il will probably hear from him by Monday . I have kept a few notes to update him .

As for Christmas itself 🌲, I cooked first Turkey dinner on Christmas Eve and had another 2 on Christmas itself and Boxing Day .Being Macauley culkin means there is no drama as such ,and it meant I planned things properly with most of the donkey work being done on 23rd/24th. I did amazingly well to avoid any tv. I purchased the sparks brothers dvd and watched stuff I recorded a few weeks back . Baileys and Jameson were had in moderation 
🥃🥃 . And then ...

I have all of the symptoms of the effects of Jab 3 😷😾!! 

It started with a dry continuous cough on Christmas Day evening . This is followed rapidly by wet coughs and going through hundreds of tissues 🤧🤧🤢🗣🗣
I actually had no sleep at all last night 🛌 not a proper sleep since 23rd .
I actually imho should not have had the booster. I don't see enough people .
I had effects from the other 2 , but this third one is deadly . 

I cannot give reasons as to why here, but I think maybe that booster was my last . 

One of my friends told me what to expect . He is right  so far . I'm on the vulnerable list due to being on immunosuppressant . I never bothered with flu jabs in the past and my experience at present makes sure I'll avoid as long as possible .Yes I know it's not the flu, but you get the picture 🌅
 

Back to food . The crisps came in handy . No bread for a few days until yesterday .
no more crisps left - Which means I have stopped again for rest of year and beyond .
I have eggs 🥚🥚which expired yesterday in theory although I haven't had any for obvious reasons , I may make some cakes before weekend using them in those 🥮.

I'll leave it there 🌧💧☔️

Sorry to hear about your effects from the booster - DH and I were OK after ours.

Sounds like you had a nice chilled Christmas.

I, for one, will miss your diary if you decide to stop.

Good to see you posting AC

The booster effects don't sound good. Sorry to hear that.

I looked up Lilliput as I had not heard of it. Looks very beautiful.

I'm joining you in the cake baking as I picked up a cake kit from MnS reduced from 12.50 to 2. I am gf so thought if I replaced the 200grams of flour with buckwheat or almond meal that might work? If not at least I tried ;0

As you know, I really enjoy your diary. Maybe a new diary with a new focus? Either way I like reading your posts.

Your Christmas sounds nice and relaxed. Like you I watched no TV over the Christmas.

Sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the third jab.  Did you have a different one this time?

Glad you had a relaxing Christmas otherwise.

Sorry to hear that you had such a bad reaction to the 3rd jab, I hope you feel much better soon. 

I was warned that I might have a bad reaction to the booster as it was different brand to my first 2 jabs AND I had covid quite recently, but I managed to escape it. I was very ill after my first jab though, so strange. 

I’m glad you decided to continue posting in a new diary, I will pop over and subscribe now. Have a lovely New Year! 🥂
