Congratulations, Sr. Jess!

I'm just going to pronounce that Ser Jess, GRRM style.

That's so much better than my 12-years-of-Catholic-school-educated brain, which keeps reading it as "Sister Jess."

Congrats, senior-NOT-sister Jess!

oh dear ... there's a blog for local goings-on that I read regularly. One of their daily features is a featured apartment for rent - the blogger has his passions (exposed brick, for one). I read it and usually pat myself on the back because the apartment I moved into two years ago is usually better than the Craigslist ads for the featured apartments - nicer, better location, larger, lower rent ... and the building management is actually good. The latest featured one was an 812-sf two bedroom two bath one ... which got a lot of negative comments. My favorite exchange:

Commenter 1: The listing notes "Original owner." Considering this place was built in 1910, do you really want to have a vampire as your landlord?

Commenter 2: If it's a hot vampire, maybe.

Commenter 3: The hot ones are the most emo, which is not a selling point in a landlord.

Sounds like there's a Buffista in there ....

Ha, Toddson, that's fantastic!

I got my second booster yesterday, switching it up from Pfizer to Moderna, and it is KICKING MY ASS. I'm crawling through the early morning meeting but I'm pretty certain I'll be collapsing as soon as it's over and I've finished the post-meeting paperwork.

JZ, hope the misery is short-lived (unlike you). I had the first booster in December - I think I've had all Pfizer - and each time, my arm was really painful and, I think, the day after I was totally out of it.

Toddson, my first dose and first booster were totally fine; second dose and second booster... whew. It's just a booster! It's only half-caf!

That's great, Toddson! The pros and cons of vampire landlords - will not bother you during the day...

Thanks for the reminder, JZ, I think I am eligible to schedule my second booster today. I hope you recover from the side effects quickly

My first booster was Moderna after 2 initial vaccine shots being Pfizer. 3 days of fever, chills and aches.

I am putting off my 2nd booster until June before a trip back to Texas. Am hoping to get Pfizer for it.

-t - but vampire landlords WILL wake you up in the middle of the night ... sigh ....

Over the weekend Kaiser said I'd be eligible for the second booster 4/5 but today it's saying I can only get it if I'm immunocompromised. Boo. My first three shots were all Pfizer so I'm planning to mix it up with Moderna if I get the opportunity.

Can they come in without an invitation if they own the property? I would guess so, but if it's your home maybe not.
