Congrats on the house, JenP!

Good luck on a quick and lucrative offer on yours, Laura!

A cute house that I'd been keeping an eye on went on the market yesterday, but has already been removed this morning. I'm going to take that as a sign that I'm too busy to dive into the house search with both feet at this time.

Woohoo! I finally got the promotion I’d been waiting for for almost two years! It’s just a title bump (and the associated raise was...5%, so barely more than COLA) but I’d sworn up and down if they didn’t give it to me this year I’d leave. Whew.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'll keep being patient and doing the right thing, living my life of extreme introversion and masking, often double-masking, when I have to go out, but I sure hope the vaccine goalposts start moving in the right direction, or at least stay still, sometime soon.

ETA Huzzah, meara!

Punishingly Intricate

Congratulations, meara!!!

Have you filed a claim with the moving company, Toddson? That's so frustrating.

Our wings are not tired

I got my first vaccine shot on Saturday. CA has started on educators and I'm teaching and Kristin pointed me at a site to track down vaccinations at Walgreens and I was able to drive up to Lancaster and get one on Saturday. I'm glad to have mine, but it shouldn't take the same type of process as getting a recently released Xbox. Seriously, I got an Xbox Series X for Kristin for Christmas/Birthday and I was just able to do it after months of having trackers running to show exactly when they pop up, and finally I was sitting at my computer when they became available on the Microsoft site for 3 minutes and I snagged one.

For the vaccine there is a site that monitors Walgreens and Rite aid and gives you up to the minute reports of which ones in which zip codes have appointments so that you can log onto the Walgreens site and put in the suitable zip code in order to get an appointment. This is crazypants.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The day I got our appointments, I spent hours refreshing the CVS and HEB sites, along with periodically checking other sites that forced me to go through the whole process each time.
