I need to mow the grass -- all 10 X 20 feet of it. Laundry... I need to do it, but I'm not going anywhere, so I'm not motivated to do it. Mums have a 6-hour lifespan in North Texas. You already stole my almond entry.
I do need to get a flu shot.

I hate washing dishes almost as much, and there seems to be a never ending supply of them. If it weren't so bad for the environment, I would probably use paper plates more often.

I have never had a flu shot before but this year I will.
Yes, get one. I didn't get one last year, got the flu, which led to me getting pneumonia, then an infection, and a trip to the ER and a few days in the hospital.
That ended up costing me thousands of dollars. Flu shots are free.

I have a pretty good immune system and have always recovered from illness easily, but I am not getting any younger and it could start becoming debilitating at my age. But it's even more than that now, I feel it's the responsible thing to do to help take the burden off the healthcare system this fall and winter. It's going to be challenging for them to figure out who has the flu and who has COVID-19 since some of the symptoms can be similar, and of course getting both the flu and COVID at the same time would likely kill me anyway.
Great post!!! Yes, the (Northern Hemisphere) flu season is going to put an extra burden on already stressed healthcare systems. You are absolutely doing the right thing. I hope everyone reads this and does the same!

Never had a flu shot, I get flu maybe once in 3 years, my wife had a shot 2 years in a row (free at her work) and had worst flu ever. She won't have them anymore. I will only have covid vaccine if I have to have one to travel. Otherwise I'll take my chances. Btw I'm not anti vax. I just know my body.

If you lived in the US, you might change your stance on that. I am glad you do not. Lately I wish I didn't live here, either.
Who knows one way or the other, but I do know this: I'm 54, and I've had a flu shot every year since I was 19, and I've never had the flu in my adult life. Not once. Nor do I want it.
Whether it's flu, or COVID, or a cold, or a blister on my foot, I'm always going to take the path that seems most likely to prevent whatever it is. Get a flu shot and get the flu? Oh well, I did my best. Don't get a flu shot and get the flu? I deserve every bit of misery coming to me.

No flu shot. I'll take my chances.
No fire extinguisher. I'll take my chances.
No mask (as you have said umpteen times). I'll take my chances.
I wish I lived in your world.

I've had the flu twice in my adult life. The first time only sucked -- I was around thirty. The second time, seven months ago, I ended up in the hospital -- I was 58 at that time.
I don't play the lottery, or bet on sports. I'm getting a flu shot -- like I should have last year.

You've never met anyone like me, I'm very different. I have all I want, I'm happy. Life's good.
Looking at Portland and Wisconsin I'm glad I don't live in yours. Election is going to be close!!
