I got a flu shot today.
Carla thinks I’m goofy for thinking it such a big deal. And I guess I’m not sure why I think it’s a big deal. Maybe it’s because it’s my first medical interaction that I’ve had on my own behalf for a few years, and it’s proactive and preventative, which is rare for me. Maybe it’s because it’s a signal that I’m part of the mainstream of modern humanity, unlike many other parts of my life (e.g. home birth, not consuming a lot).
