Had to get a check-up with the dermo after my surgery this morning. He gave me the once-over and the all-clear. I’ll be back in three months for another check-up. These melanomas really want to kill me, and my dermatologist would like a new disco ball for his hovercraft, so that works out well.
I went back to the dojo last night for my first training session in about two months. I didn’t do much; just helped with the instruction, which was a lot more frustrating than I had imagined. I like teaching, because I usually learn a lot from it, but it was a little more difficult not being able to demo the techniques. Still, not as frustrating as popping open fresh scarline.
I also had my first proper weight-lifting workout in a long while this week. I’m still feeling it.
I’m flying down to Melbourne tomorrow and I am totally going to wear a mask on the plane. I’ll probably be among only two or three people doing so, but there’s a heap of covid, flu and general nastiness around at the moment. Jason apparently picked up a shocker on his flight from to the US from Brisbane.
I wore masks on my flights to/from Perth and Sydney, and then to/from Sydney and Brisvegas, and am gratefully baffled I have not come down with anything, including the spicy cough. I was half convinced my run as a novid would end this time, my 5th trip over east in 12 months felt like I was pushing it, but apparently not 🤞🤞🤞
Might be time for a DTaP booster given the epic grade whooping cough we are seeing. Never thought about it before, considering it is one of those childhood vaccines we all got and never thought about again. Apparently the immunity starts to drop off after 10 years. WHO KNEW, well probably medical professionals.
I've been thinking of boosters on all the above- you should see my mil vaccination sheet. Hint: Eight Anthrax shots. But still. Wouldn't hurt to revisit tetanus, etc.
I love that the AI that drew the article picture has no idea what a hovercraft is (they must have stopped being a thing before digital photos and the internet?) nor how much space a dermatologist's legs occupy. We live in a wonderful, free-flowing nightmare.
"Devil's face pants." Chef's Kiss! And yes, sitting in an aluminum tube swarming with humanity's bugs can be problematic. Just now kicking gross bug from trip. But still totally worth it.
That's excellent news from the skin doc!

N95 FTW!
Exactly!
There were only a handful of people on any of my flights wearing masks, so your prediction is correct, but no one bats an eyelid about it.

If you get boosted I will agree to have a safely distanced cup of coffee with you in Melbourne this week
got mine on last monday, very straightforward and easy process.

Cheers guv

Huzzah!
I wear a mask on PTV in Melbourne every day, the amount of folks coughing up their lungs is getting out of hand.
