What is even happening?

Thanks for the Gud news, Hec and Gris.

my bil got his second covid shot and it kinda through him for a loop, where the first one did not - some there is anecdata of 1.

Make that anecdate of 2, msbelle. My son's girlfriend (RN) got her second shot last week. She ended up with a fever and had to call in sick to work for a day. It was pretty much that short-lived, though.

That's just an immune system response, right? Your body goes, "Hey, I know this guy. He's an asshat. Go get him."

In other news, I have C-SPAN on for the House Impeachment vote. Jim Jordan is roundly terrible, and he has a lot of company.

Okay. That's not news. I've got nothing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

TCG is getting his shot today as a town employee. I have no idea when I'll get mine. My mom and stepdad miss the cut off for the first stage in their state by 2 years, which is terribly frustrating, but I'm hoping my 93 year old grandfather will get one very soon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yay TCG. I am selfishly hoping that as a County employee that is in a building with employees in and out of, including public safety that we are slightly above general public. Maybe after all over 65, public safety, essential workers, teachers.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

He works for a small town with not a lot of employees. So I guess they figured that they had enough after the first responders in town to cover the rest of the town employees. I never thought he'd be getting it before me, although Spina Bifida doesn't count toward my number of risk factors, which pisses me off because being disabled should have some benefits in life.

Man, do I want to be watching the hearings? I feel like I should

This is not going to mean anything to anybody but all my Bed Bath & Beyond PO modification requests have processed! It's a red-letter day.

I just had to tell someone

-t, I have no idea what that means, but yay!

I am so thrilled for you, -t. I have no idea why, but I am.

I have the NY Times live coverage on and am listening but not glued. Boring vote reads now for, I guess, reps who aren't there, because the voting is largely electronic.

I appreciate y'all's support

ALso appreciate the update, JenP. I feel less pressure to tune in myself now

Thrive to spite them

I talked to Mom this morning.. she said they have started vaccinating seniors where she is. but she wasn't sure how to get an appointment and I managed to find a number for her to call.

She said she also talked to Dad and mentioned current events about the Capitol and the attack and she said he had no idea what was going on. That he barely seemed aware. He doesn't really watch the news and I don't think he goes online to get news from too many sources, he doesn't use social media at all, so I guess it's easy for him to stay in a no information bubble. She urged him to go and look at the news and read about what was happening.
