My PCP's phlebotomist is the absolute best. I've never had a bruise from him taking blood, and the vaccinations he has given me only hurt if I pushed on them. He is bat shit crazy in other ways, but the man is brilliant with a needle.

I have my 2nd booster scheduled for Tuesday and my flu shot a week after that, so all I have to do is not test positive for Covid or get sick with anything else before those appointments. I could do them together, but I'm choosing to get the Moderna after 3 Pfizers and I'm not sure how much it's going to wreck me.
My manager told me that I technically don't have to isolate after close contact exposure at DragonCon, and I MAY have responded that the CDC may have given up on it but I haven't.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I guess I need to figure out where to get my second COVID booster shot. I was spoiled by being able to get the first three shots at work, and I'll get my flu shot there as well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m back from MI and being lazy for the rest of the week. Running around after three kids under four is exhausting, even though adults outnumbered them 2 to 1. I have my Omicron booster and flu shot next week.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I’m trying to understand the recommendations for the new Covid. I’ve heard that with the most recent variants fading it might be wise to time it for a few weeks in advance of any big expected events or get togethers instead of going for it right away.
That's why I waited until today to get my booster (well, that and hoping by a month before my Vegas trip the Moderna Bivalent vaccine would be available—it was!). Not even a sore arm to show for it as yet, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

I just heard some coworkers talking about it. I guess this is literally the end of an era, eh? It's going to be weird hearing any mention of the king when that starts happening. It always strikes me as weird even when it was historically accurate to whatever I'm reading.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.

That'll be interesting to watch. I am always surprised how many monarchies are still in existence when I hear of one.
