My father, who got an early breakthrough case, had very mild symptoms for only a few days.

Steph- As far as I know they are all anti vax and so not vaccinated but I'm not sure. I know his brother and SIL are very very anti vax types and they were exposed to it but I don't know if they are sick or not or if they'd just ignore it. M's mom tried to talk to one of their daughters about getting vaccinated by she didn't want to because "the vaccine makes you sterile and I want to have kids". She's getting this from her parents and the church she goes to. M's mom pointed out that she couldn't have kids if she was dead but that didn't go over well.

Calli if you can work remotely why not see if they’ll let you move to Michigan?

I think the Botox I had for my jaw is working and I’m clenching my teeth less! But I think I might still need a little more on one side, I’ve got a headache today. Not as bad as often but…

the Dems forking better not let them get away with it.

Yup. That's my worry.

I am getting the send that there are enough people lining up to kick McConnell in the balls that I can just watch, but if everyone else gets there's in and he still needs kicking I wouldn't mind doing my part.

My fortune cookie fortune is "Improve your finances, improve your life" and on the back is a QR code for a "get rich smart app". I don't like any of this.

Eta: the cookie tastes good, though

Oh, dad of Tep. I do hope he stays feeling ok, as well as remembers to stay away from people. Jeesh.

This.

Too many people getting breakthrough infections. My 11 yo nephew had a friend stay over this past weekend (both vaccinated), and the friend is now positive. My sister took the boys so she was in a tiny car with both of them too. She and nephew will test tomorrow since it would be 5 days. In the meantime both isolating anyway.

Yay Botox! I really hope it does the trick for you. I'd try it for my clenching, but I keep telling myself I should really do the other list of stuff I should try first.

Also, Woot! Mitch ball kicking party sounds like a most excellent time for all with souls.

eta: I'd get a refund on that fortune cookie! That ain't right.

Too many people getting breakthrough infections.

I can't believe how many people I know [glaring at Tim] who've tested positive in the past month since Christmas. I think all of the people I know who've gotten breakthrough infections are fully vaxed, though, and have/had only minor symptoms, which means, hey! the vaccine is fucking WORKING.

And my sister also told me my 40 something yo nephew and his girlfriend both have covid too. Both vaccinated. She found out when she was at the hospital for another issue and then he tested and found he did too. I hate this crap. Both he and GF has serious health issues.

My neighbor just told me he has COVID. He works at a grocery store, so he's vaccinated and only has "annoying cold" symptoms. But he'd be much happier if everyone had gotten on board with vaccination so he'd have been far less likely to be exposed to it to begin with.

As would we all.

Calli if you can work remotely why not see if they’ll let you move to Michigan?

Yeah, I'm going to float that idea in my stay interview. I mean, if they'd let me work from MI I'd be happy to stay with this job forever.

That does sound ideal, Calli. When is the stay interview?
