Happy November All!
The month started off crappy, as I have been sick in bed. No fun at all. No credit news over here, just piddling by. I did fire off my monthly email to Navy asking for a rate reduction. The house is coming along but may be delayed because they don't have one of the windows. 
I can't believe it's November. Time to start holiday shopping; I am trying not to wait until the last minute for once in my life.
What's for dinner? I need ideas.

Doggie caca. Mild fever, achy joints, headache, but mostly an arm I can't move without significant pain.
But hey, my immune system is busy and I'll stay home today and nap it off (ibuprofen isn't killing it).
I must have psychic timing. Regulatory authorities popped up at work. Good luck, coworkers, I'm off to watch youtube videos and napping.You're the 1st person I know that got the Moderna booster. Side effects sound similar to mine with the Pfizer booster a couple of weeks ago but my arm was only sore, not really painful.
I got my Pfizer booster a couple of weeks ago, also got my flu shot at the same time. The only side effect I had from either was that both arms were sore for a couple of days.
DW and I have been looking for a new mattress. After researching we thought we wanted to get a Nectar Mattress in a Box, but wanted to actually see and lay on one before pulling the trigger. I found a place about 30 miles away that had them in their showroom, so I went there yesterday. I did really like the feel of the mattress and got a couple of questions about it answered.
The showroom's price was $100 more than the online price, so I asked if they would meet the online price. The guy got offended, his tone of voice changed and he gave me a really dirty look. He told me that if I had a problem with an online purchase I was on my own to resolve it. Due to his attitude I left went home and ordered it online, saving $100 and to my suprise found that Rakatan had 3% cash back on my purchase.
Now for a $100 I would have bought it from him if he had told me what he could do for me if I had a problem rather then telling me I was on my own with an online purchase. He cost himself a sale.
This purchase also finished my Spend for the SUB on my IHG Premier Rewards Card.

Have you tried blinking near the tv? I can change the channel.

Pfizer shot and Moderna booster. I had ~16h of suck for the second Pfizer shot. I prefer it over this, but I'll take it.
First time J&J -- no issues Day 1. Day 2 was brain fog and muscle aches, the latter effectively addressed w/ 200mg ibuprofen.
Pfizer booster -- minimal brain fog Day 1, nuthin' Day 2.

What's for dinner? I need ideas.
Last night I put 2/3 cup each of brown basmati rice and water in the InstantPot.
Trimmed & seasoned 2 chicken thighs (salt, pepper, smoky paprika). Trimming excess fat is key. Seared each side and laid on the metal insert over the rice.
Sauteed onions with about 1/2 sq. cm of finely minced habanero (from the garden), and then poured in 1 can diced tomato. Added some basil leaves from the garden.
Once hot, poured that over the chicken & set the IP on high for 16 minutes. When done, let decompress for 15 min.
I was pleased. mrs e was delighted.
Lunch was brisket and sausage from BBQ Station. I got the DH a plate to go, so he can have some for dinner.
The oldest has her first covid-19 vaccination booked for tomorrow afternoon, after school. Her appointment time was easy to set-up and book. I suppose they've had plenty of time to perfect the process at this point. 🤷
And I transplanted that basil from the garden to a pot last night and moved it indoors, as the temperature was dropping to the 30's.
Quick & dirty job -- we'll see how it goes. Sure smells good, tho'.

For lunch, mrs e brought me home a falafel with some tahini & killer hot sauce. ❤️
(WFH today -- unusual for me.)
