a kicker to this is now I owe pharmacy techs I used to work with dinner b/c they called dibs on giving me my annual shots and I went to a different pharmacy than that one
going and getting my flu and COVID shots on the same day yesterday was the correct decision (both b/c "now's the time!" and the pharmacy I was at offered $20 in store credit for them) and also owwww owiee my arms!
