I too have been skippy for a bit, mostly because I'm unable to deal so Calli I'm so glad you were able to visit amyth.
Yay for those getting vaccines. I am somewhat more chill now that all our older relatives have been fully vaccinated. New Mexico has been kicking ass and has the highest rate of vaccinations (despite pretty much my entire hometown refusing the vax). I don't think my son and husband will ever have a change to get the vaccine.
But hey, at least there wasn't really a cold and flu season this year.
Hooray, Jess!
Washington is 65 and over/50 and over if you're in a multigenerational household (grandparents living with grandchildren). Here on the island, where a quarter of the population is over 65, the city's been asking for a thousand doses every week and receiving between 100 and 500, with nothing at all some weeks. I currently *knocks on the table* have no pre-existing conditions, so my turn may happen along this summer.
(Or, in other words, Ohio does NOT have coronavirus vaccinations for everyone year-round.)
Is the Pfizer vaccine the Mallomar of the medical world? Or are Mallomars the Pfizer vaccine of cookies?
My mom and dad finally got appointments here in PA, but they have to drive an hour and a half to York to get them. I'm assuming I won't get jabbed until summer, at least.
Pharmacy locations are still prioritizing essential workers and senior citizens here, but the state sites are accepting anyone with a qualifying comorbidity (which is a pretty long list).
Yeah, we have a pretty broad swath of qualification now here in MA, but still very few appointments available.
As we know, moving is the absolute worst,
Ahem! Disagree.
Laura, did I miss where you all are moving to? Is this your second move in only a few years or am I mid-remembering?
Yay house JenP!
Yay vaccine Jess!
MD is also still at 65+. An elderly lady in the neighborhood that I see out walking quite a bit went into PA to get one and she is in her 70s or 80s, so not sure what the issue was with getting one here.
Oh, Laura, I forgot to wish you a generous offer on the house! Moving can be funny - our last one was between buildings, about a hundred feet, and we amused the hell out of the neighbors by running back and forth with a garden wagon, a handtruck and a furniture dolly - may yours be as easy as possible. How long have you been there?
(Do I really want to do this again in a year and a half? Yes, yes I do, but Jim had better follow through on his oath to clean out the office closet.)

And it's so very frustrating because they keep pushing the dates for the later tiers back. When they first put out the tentative schedule, it looked like Dylan and I would get ours in March (adults with pre-existing conditions), and Alex might get his in June or July (healthy, will be 17 by then). Now they're saying spring/summer for our tier, which I interpret as June, and as for Alex, who knows? Thanksgiving? Christmas? Meanwhile, my BIL and SIL in Oklahoma, who are in basically the same health/age/occupation classes as Dylan and I, get their first shots this week.
And I don't know why, since I've been handling this thing pretty well for the last year, but this has me ready to snap. I want to go scream at Governor Inslee, because we're supposed to be a well-run state with a solid public health system, and then at Joe Biden because now that the grown-ups are back in charge I thought it wouldn't be so much every state for itself anymore, and given all that, WHY is Oklahoma MONTHS ahead of Washington?!
Phew. At least ranting is cathartic.
