Today is National No Bra Day
here in the U.S. This is not just about comfort or pokies, as this is intended
to raise awareness about breast cancer. I'm pretty sure there's already a great
deal of awareness out there, as so many people have had the disease affect their
families. This includes me, as it took my mom almost 20 years ago. I only wear
bras on special occasions, myself, so I'll share this here to do my part.

Follow-up

So have people forgotten COVID is still a thing? My doc recommended I get another jab before summer, but I was unable to get one. None of the pharmacies had them or would make appointments for them. Finally the county health center here started taking appointments for the newly approved booster. They only do them on Thursday, so I've had to wait a few weeks until I had a free Friday in case it makes me feel like crap the next day. I'm hoping it doesn't, but if the trend continues I'll be down for half the day tomorrow. My first shot did nothing, the second I felt a little crappy for about half the next day. My third shot, like the second, put me down for half of the next day, but I felt much worse, had a low fever and some nausea.
Doing some traveling in Nov., so wanted to get the new booster before then, but other than that don't see much concern these days.
