Why do I keep getting logged off?

I check “keep me logged in” or whatever the exact words are, on my phone, iPad, and computer. No one else ever uses them. But every few days, I am logged off some or all of them. What good is that checkbox if it ignores the check?

I got the Pfizer Bivalent booster on Wednesday.

Sore arm, which is almost gone, and some fatigue that is lingering.

My husband and I both went to Walmart Pharmacy. Of course, he never gets any reaction to any vaccination and I always get something to whatever they give me. I had only had Pfizer and he had only had Moderna before (2 + 2 boosters each). The nurse was very attentive and even spent a good deal of time talking with me afterwards when I was anxious about having side effects. I am so relieved that we went. We made appointments online and there was no waiting.

While we were there, I asked the pharmacist about getting free test kits. We're both on Medicare, so he said we can each get 4 kits (2 tests in each kit) every month. He loaded us up with a total of 8 kits!

In case anyone thinks this is over the top, you never know when you'll be needing them. We had a house guest show up with Covid in July. At that point, we had all our free kits from the post office. Suddenly, we had 3 people testing very often and we used up all our kits in no time. I bought more online before my husband went to Walgreens and brought home his 4 free kits that day. We've sort of slacked since then, but now are deciding we'd better stock up again.

We still mask up wherever we go, and we don't go to very many places. I can tell you that when we got our shots, we were the only people we saw anywhere in the store, besides the nurse and the pharmacist, who were masked. It's just not a thing anymore. No one has confronted us about it, for which I am thankful.
