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.

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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's just an immune system response, right? Your body goes, "Hey, I know this guy. He's an asshat. Go get him."
Yep, same as a flu shot. Fever/inflammation/etc are mostly caused by your immune system trying to make your body as inhospitable as possible.
My brother works in a medical lab and received his first Covid vaccine last week! Woo hoo for antibodies!

My ER doc friend got her 2nd shot today! And I think all my medical personnel friends have gotten their 1st shot at least.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
