Shot Please or Not

When I was a little girl, I hated the mere thought of a shot. This lasted until about 10 years ago. I still don't enjoy the thought but..........I can at least tolerate the thought without the threat of a heart attack. Now..... I have spent the past week and a half trying to get a shot. A flu shot that is. Everywhere I have gone has been out. I keep checking. Who would have thought that I would be chasing a shot down. Oh my how times do change. I have had a flu shot for the past 15 years..............maybe I don't need one this year.
