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

Excellent news Matt.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for vaccinated people, and people who wear masks correctly. We are once again mortified on national news with Florida Man. My county is much saner than where Naples is located.

My vaccine stab is this afternoon! Since I have had only one vaccine in the last 50 years (shingles), my doctor said DH should drive me in case I react badly. That is fine since we need to go and do some system work at said doctor's office after hours anyway and my stabbination is at 4.

eta: by react badly he probably means that I faint or snarl at the nurse

Good luck, Laura.

I am feeling cranky and ancient this morning. Mostly because I had a headache last night but I thought it wasn’t all that painful so maybe if I just took some Tylenol and went to bed early it would be ok. But no, woke up and took migraine meds at 430am so now I am feeling hungover from that. And have accomplished no work this morning. Ugh. But at least it’s Thursday?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Timelies, all.

DH drove up to town to drop off the application fee for preschool. I'm frustrated because I called and emailed months ago, but never heard back, then met parents at the playground yesterday who were like "you have to fill out the application and drop off a check" The application still has dates from this school year! I hope kiddo can get a slot. Sigh.

I get my first shot on Saturday, organized through the school system for priority people (which I am, since I work directly with a few kids in a couple different bubbles, and, well, I wanted one. A lot of people either don't or are bad a signing up for things.) I have an appointment for a few weeks from now at the hospital, but once I actually have that sweet, sweet RNA in my system, I'll email and cancel that. But I continue to not trust the system enough to cancel a minute sooner.

We're trying to sell DH's old car (since we got Murray the Minivan), and the guy who test drove it was all chinstrap dude, but yelling at someone who you want to give you currency in exchange for goods is a bad idea, so...we'll see if he can get the money together. This was one of those "this really shouldn't be my job, but if I wait for DH to get it done, it'll have been a year" things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother is eligible for a vaccine, but is basically not interested in travelling for it, so we wait. I am assuming they will show up at our local health center eventually?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Oh, god, is it time for Voigt-Kampff tests? I am not in the mood for that.

Can we substitute "adequately performing or repressing facial expressions in Zoom meetings" for that instead?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Covid cough is real, folks. It's starting to hurt my ribs, and I really don't want to repeat Ye Olde Pleurisy, so my doctor called in a prescription for better cough meds, and CVS delivers through Shipt. The 21st century is a good time to have the plague.

Thrive to spite them

Mom is getting her first vaccine shot tomorrow! But she has to come here to Greenville to get it. So I'm hoping I can see her on my lunch break and figure out a social distance lunch option.

The potential new manager and the regional manager were here doing a tour. And then someone from some corporate position was here taking 3D pictures or film or something of our loading dock area for some reason.

Effective cough meds, ahoy.

I currently have a tunafish casserole in the oven, because it is my family's go-to comfort food. I'm not in particular need of comfort; I just want the attendant food.

I'm looking at (rental) house porn, except it's pretty unexceptional so far. Well, kind of like actual porn mostly. But, anyway, we want to move to a slightly bigger place soonish, so I'm looking. Seeing one place on Saturday. Trying to figure how far out is not too far out.

At least there's some kind of upside! Sheesh.
