'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
NM is doing really well (have I mentioned how wonderful the governor is? She's wonderful) but of course my home county is pretty much fully protesting and not getting it, due to stewing in disinformation. Still, my family is fully vaccinated there.
Here, my husband got guidance that he could now use the website, but the website itself still says "70 and older." He's not expecting to get the vaccine until 2022, and our son probably never will.
I tried CVS last week, but they didn't seem to be taking 1b (comorbidity). As in, I entered my age, and it threw up a no go sign. Maybe I'll try again and see if that's changed.
I did the 6 a.m. CVS sign up, too, yesterday, and was in/out for my shot in less than 20 minutes. I was disappointed that I did not get a sticker, because I am 12. I was eligible for a shot because I am faculty, not because of my comorbidity. Since I am on campus with students I felt no guilt about taking my turn. My students are definitely worse about mask wearing than my 11 year old.
Congrats, Sparky1! It's not clear here if higher ed faculty and staff are in a better category than "the general public," but either way, they are at least two groups from now.
I am willing to hold Teppy's Awesome Doctor with the same esteem as I do Doc Cathy the Elephant Trampler.
Both of them are up there with my Dr. Bobbi and Awesome Therapist.
Dr Bobbi: "Jillian, even vampires need to have their blood panels done. Stop pouting."
Awesome Therapist: "Which Fall Out Boy album are you listening to on repeat? I need to know what emotional shorthand your brain has latched on to."
I got my shot through Walgreens here in CA, but for those looking to snag an appointment, here is a tracker that works for Rite Aid and Walgreens. It's how I found an appointment.
Timelies all!
It's been a busy day for me. Took Nova to the vet for a senior cat checkup. She's gained weight, which is good. She's got an ear infection, which means I have to add another med to the routine for the next two weeks. Then I went out to pick up lunch, and after lunch was food shopping.
Gary has no idea when he will be eligible for the vaccine, since he's under 65 and has no co-morbidities, plus his job can be(and has been) virtual. Even less of an idea when Mr. S can get one, since he's only 5.
They haven't approved any vaccines as safe for young children, have they? Though my understanding is the risk of serious symptoms is miniscule for them.
I know they are just starting to test on teenagers around here.
One of Dillo’s friends is in the Cincinnati trial for 12-18. We tried to get in but they were full, but then they called me asking if I had any children 11 or younger, so they are going to start child trials soon.
