Nothing exciting here. I think I'll finally finish my knitting project. Then I need to prepare for the joy of giving all my monies to TKD. Time to renew our membership and buy some bigger sparring gear for the girls since it's their Black Friday sale.

I just told him could stay home and he genuinely thanked me for allowing it. Which kind of broke my heart a little. So it was a good decision. |

C and L are getting their first covid shot today. Bit nervous because they had flu shots yesterday and L did not do well at all. Today I'm taking them to my work so hopefully a more kid friendly environment will help. The nurse that did M’s said it hurts less than the flu shot. Maybe you can tell them that and it would help? Thank you! I'm also planning to use the buzzy bee because I know they'll have it. Plus I know my work friends will bring them fun stuff! |

Idk what it is, but I've looked at all the black Friday ads and I'm just not seeing anything I want to give people. Actually, not even just black Friday ads. I have no clue what to get anyone. I may be a last minute shopper this year. The Black Friday sales have been a bust this year IMO. So far anyway. Other than a few items I was waiting until this week to buy because I knew they would go on sale, I’m not seeing much either. |

Definitely going to ask about it at future visits. I’ve heard of them at certain offices, but none that we have went to had it. I have a hand held vibrating massager that Mh got at a work thing that I used Saturday for M. I looked at the directions for the buzzy bee and just used it in the same way. M didn’t flinch so maybe it worked? The real test will be when I get M2’s flu shot tomorrow. |

You guys. What is a buzzy bee? Buzzy Bee is a 2 part device. One is just an ice pack, shaped like wings. The other is a battery operated vibrator (that sounds awful) that has the shape of a bee body, that the ice pack clips onto. We use it for Evie's weekly shots. Between the ice and vibration, it numbs the spot and makes shots less painful. As long as your child doesn't move Buzzy and the spot gets warm and there is no tingly anymore... I'll find a pic as well. I need to order new ice packs since one popped open and got blue stuff everywhere.  |

My sister said that in Norway parents get numbing band aid to put on the shot place and hour or so before a vaccination. Also so smart! |

Numbing cream is what our rheumatologist office uses if we get lab work done the same day. But I think it makes it a bit more difficult because the time spent waiting for the area to get numb adds to the anxiety. We use Buzzy about 4 minutes compared to however long the cream takes. But I would guess the cream last longer and goes deeper than a topical ice pack/vibrator. |

You all will think I’m nuts but I let C pinch my arm with his other hand right before and during his shot. He gets joy out of causing me pain I guess. I came up with this and have no idea why but it works and I’m hardly hurt.

It’s been a busy day today since I took Friday off. My mom came at lunch to seal my granite counters. I didn’t even know it was a thing to do but apparently she has done it to my counters every couple of years. I also had the electrician replace a light fixture and in the process my tv stand was moved and now I’m having problems with the cable box. So so so annoying.

Definitely going to ask about it at future visits. Some do. My regular Dr office does because we have a child life specialist (it's affiliated with the hospital I work at). Today we went to a clinic in the actual hospital I work in. Not to say places need child life for buzzy, I just know I'm a child life specialist and we bring buzzy everywhere we go lol. |

nam2013 I never heard of buzzy bee either. Glad you let DS stay home. I feel like I can never be out after how poorly things went for my class when I had covid. I have a little boy who hides under his desk when he sees one of the subs walk by. He calls her “the angry teacher”
