Walgreens suggested that TBG make an appointment for his flu shot when the walk-in line as he was shopping was 10 people long. He brought the information slip home and placed it on my keyboard. I made the appointments, 20 minutes apart because somebody snuck in to the 3:20 slot between us.
The store is a mile down the road. We left 5 minutes before my appointment time - I'd be late and he'd be early.

I can't decide whether it was less troublesome for me to fill out my paperwork online or for me to print it out and have TBG fill it in for himself. I tried both methods.
They lost mine in the system and the pharmacy assistant had to input most of the numbers again. She then typed in all of TBG's information with her incredibly long fingernails making every click a near disaster.
Neither path was without problems. They both took too much time.

The Pilates Diva was the one who stole the 3:20 appointment - she was there for her Covid booster. She teaches at the Community College and so is considered high risk, even though she's more than a decade younger than we are.
It's a measure of our times that I run into my friends at the drug store now.

The shot hurt more than the vaccination.
TBG saw my pouting face and put his warm, lovingly cupped palm over my bandaid.
It felt better at once.
Our beloved pharmacist who does almost all of our vaccinations said the flu shot hurts more than the Covid-19 shot because it is a much larger volume of stuff being pushed into your muscle.
