Two of my coworkers have caught both strands of the flu this winter and both took the shot! Both times I've caught the flu in recent years, I've taken the shot as well. My doc thinks that because I take it fairly early (early March when they given them free at my work) that the shot's effectiveness has worn off by the time March rolls around (when I seem prone to getting it). Right now, I have two more days of work until spring break and 10 more days in this month. I am hoping, crossing fingers, saying prayers that I might be in the clear.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-12486836052963924912018-03-17T18:45:18.369-04:002018-03-17T18:45:18.369-04:00Still jumping all over your blog maybe I should re...Still jumping all over your blog maybe I should read in order. Anyway I read Eleanor and Park enjoyed it but tough stuff. <br />I caught the flu for the first time in over 10 years. I was out a week.

Nicknamed "the River City," some flooding is always expected from time to time but this has just been absolutely unreal.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-24284445042198061262018-03-01T21:25:37.663-05:002018-03-01T21:25:37.663-05:00It is insane, isn't it (the flooding)?

I friend of mine from work came down with it over the weekend and two days later was diagnosed with strep! This is also the second time she's had the flu since Thanksgiving. I work in an elementary school, which unfortunately is just a giant cesspool of germs. Good luck to you! I hope you can avoid it as well.<br /><br />I'm enjoying Eleanor & Park a lot. It's super cute an is bringing back a lot of memories of my first high school love.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-42931900235396841742018-03-01T21:19:07.106-05:002018-03-01T21:19:07.106-05:00When the waiter brought out that "slice,"...When the waiter brought out that "slice," I told my friend, "Good luck!" Seriously, it was 1/4 of a 5 layer chocolate cake, Crazy! (It came from Malone's in Lexington.)<br /><br />So far, I'm enjoying Eleanor & Park. I was in junior high in 1986, so many of the 80s pop culture references have personal significance for me. <br /><br />This will be my second Mini Marathon. I did it the first time in 2009. I'm strictly doing it this year because a friend asked me to and we're doing it for a charity.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-82862445704154016502018-03-01T21:13:33.736-05:002018-03-01T21:13:33.736-05:00Exactly!

It's been very nice this year; I had two weeks off in October and at Christmas.<br /><br />I don't know anything about a march here in Louisville, but I may have missed something. They are organizing one in Marshall County, KY and that one would be a fitting one to go to given they had a school shooting that left two dead back in January. But, Cincinnati is a lot closer to me. Logistics are a definite consideration, so I'm not sure where I'll end up.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-60308956132587175862018-03-01T13:26:45.353-05:002018-03-01T13:26:45.353-05:00Two weeks for Spring Break?

That would be awful!! I'm still hoping I can avoid any big illness too, since it seems to be all around me. Working in a college doesn't help with that. haha I still haven't read Eleanor and Park, but I WANT to. <br /><br />-Lauren<br />www.shootingstarsmag.netLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173712310551704579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-54213629773613464562018-03-01T11:32:50.651-05:002018-03-01T11:32:50.651-05:00holy moly that cake! looks amazing and huge. the f...holy moly that cake! looks amazing and huge. the flooding is seriously insane - i can't believe it.<br />love both those books you recommended! hope you like eleanor and park, love that one too.<br />i am undecided on the mini marathon.. i haven't been training, so.... eh. i'm also not registered and i know it goes up as time gets closer. i have only missed it one year since i moved here though and my friend is doing it so.. i don't know.<br />fingers crossed you don't get the flu! i had it in feb and it was awful, i am a big baby.<br />my husband is a teacher and an ex-marine. he feels the same as you.Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-45367235540351374922018-03-01T09:04:01.321-05:002018-03-01T09:04:01.321-05:00I would recommend all three books that you mention...I would recommend all three books that you mentioned. <br /><br />As I told my husband, I wouldn't mind being able to protect myself and my students, as a teacher. But you CANNOT make me juggle the papers, the kids, the books, the technology, the curriculum (metaphorically and physically) and then expect me to keep track of a gun too. I can barely remember to make sure my keys are in my pocket every time I leave my classroom.
