Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2022
Weather: Partly Cloudy and Windy; High 55, Low 46 F
Location: At Home in the Cottage, East Falmouth, MA
It was another windy day, winds still from the northeast and feeling chilly. I spent my morning inside playing Mah Jongg. Next week will be the last lesson and I will have to decide if I am ready to play with a regular team or take another class. I’m really not a game player, but I force myself to do this because it’s good for my brain! And after Mah Jongg, I came home to get Shadow to take him with me to pick up Ollie and Jonah from school on this Early Release Day. I brought them home with me and Ollie finished cutting Shirley’s lawn. The battery-operated lawn mower is great, but it doesn’t go quite long enough to finish Shirley’s yard without needing to be charged. Then we watched another Marvel movie. The boys want to make sure I get a proper Marvel education.
Tomorrow, I get my second Covid booster shot. I will start my day with a broccoli sprout smoothie. There is evidence that when you combine a broccoli sprout shake with a flu vaccine, you can amplify the vaccine’s ability to boost your immune system. The sulforaphane in broccoli is the natural chemical that boosts the immune system, and the amount of sulforaphane in the baby broccoli sprouts gives you a twenty-fold boost over mature broccoli. So, I had broccoli for dinner and will have the broccoli sprout shake in the morning, and then have more broccoli sprouts in a salad for lunch tomorrow. I hope to get the best possible boost from my booster shot!
