Vaccines and Alzheimer's

Jan 27

steps 15,000

 Sleep last night was disrupted waking up sweating. I asked Tommy to make sure ac was on and not heat. When I was upset, he said he left it on ac. However, he left it so high that it never came on. I slept some sitting up straight in the chair. I have not had a nap at all, consequently, I got a few things done, even washed some dishes. 

We did go to Publix where almost everything I bought was either bogo or 'two for.'

Nature's Own bogo-bought one hamburger and one hotdog bun

Cheeto and Dorito--bogo for Tommy

Public Pizza Sauce-- 2 for $3, bought two

Kraft Parmesan Cheese--2 for $6, bought 2

Wheat Thins--b2g1, bought 3 Lightly Salted

Mt Olive Sweet Relish, no bargain

5 lbs Yellow Onions $4.99 marked to $3.99

Kleenex tissues--not on sale

2 salad mixes bogo, $2.50 each

We had leftovers for dinner. I had a small amount of the alfredo and a salad. Tommy had bbq on bun and salad, beans, I think.

We spent $51 and saved $24. 

It seems getting a covid vaccine can be helpful with delaying Alzheimer's. 

Researchers find a critical link between vaccinations and Alzheimer's disease

Speaking of vaccines, we will be getting one for pneumonia. Tommy has never had a vaccine for shingles. I will get another, too.

    Here the other side of the coin. Who can trust any reports when it can be skewed to either view?

  2. I had both of my shingles vaccines, but want one for pneumonia and RSV too. Thanks for mentioning sweet pickle relish, I just ran out yesterday and your post reminded me to put it on my grocery list. Publix has some of the best buy one get one free deals.

    1. Belinda,
      We got the pneumonia and RSV last fall. I figured there was something we needed.
      They do have good bogo deals. As you can see we mostly bought those. I have needed Parmesan for weeks since I am almost out. I waited them out to get it so much cheaper. Tommy eats a lot of sweet pickle relish. Do you have a Publix?

  3. Folks reading this: do not conclude an association to a conclusion. This only leads to selective bias, not truth.

  4. Geez Louise--I'm out of sweet pickle relish too! How can we all be out of it at the same time? Thanks for the reminder, Linda and Belinda.

    I'm with Tommy--I love sweet pickle relish. My preferred brand is Heinz, though. I don't like Mt. Olive products. They are so high in sodium.

    I need to get the 2nd round of the shingles vaccine myself. The pharmacy where I got the first one was supposed to call me, but I think it fell through the cracks. Better put it on the to-do list.

    I just baked 2 loaves of honey oatmeal bread. DH asked for it, so I obliged. The smell of fresh-baked bread is just magical...

  5. Sue,
    I use little sweet pickle relish and not often. He uses lots and more often than I do. I did buy just 8 ounce jars. I switched to larger jar. Glad to remind you.

    I will check the sodium.
    You do not want to take a chance on getting shingles!
    I want fresh-baked bread.

  6. Pretty sure if you got the pneumonia vaccine last year you do not need one this year (depending on which vaccine you received).

    1. Bobbie,
      The pharmacist looked at our records of vaccines and told us what we needed. I think it was pneumonia.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
