Annie Baddely's 80th Birthday

Grocery shopping after meeting. Home and unload and put stuff away. Beth here and we sit and talk for awhile; then I into office and work at computer. Beth and I out to do some chores - one of which is to get flu shots. Home and I fix us some lunch. We eat and talk. After I down for nap with girls. Up and bring in mail. Fed girls. Open mail for Beth. She reads mail and I into office to work at computer. Putz for awhile; then we both start getting ready for Annie's 80th birthday party. I start to feel sick (reaction to flu shot). We drive to Ingleside Inn in Palm Springs. Most of us guests wait in bar for a few minutes; then it's meet and greet on patio where we'll be eating. 17 guests in all. I just keep getting sicker and sicker. I nibble at salad and only a few bites of dinner. Everyone else has a great dinner. By the time the presents are about to be opened, Beth asks if I'd like to leave. I say yes and we leave early. Home and I dive into bed without washing face or anything - sick as a dog. Sleep within minutes. Later ~
