Jesse, I'm so glad your mom gotten her first shot. I felt so relieved when mine started.

Do you (or does anyone in Mass./or who's booked through CVS) have any idea of what time people mean by "early"?

I tried at 6:00am, today, but had no luck. It could be that they don't update on Sunday. It could be that I should have tried at 5:00am. It could be that I should be trying at 7:00, when I was sitting here trying to decide if I should ask.

Hec, I'm glad to hear Matilda is finding some light.

I'm so glad to hear that Buffistas are getting vaxed up. R, my roommate, has an appointment through MIT Medical for March 28th. (This is someone 65yo, with several serious comorbidities.)

My toe in the water of The After Times has been to go to a thrift store. They don't actually let you try on the clothes.

My MA info is CVS, 6am every day. But maybe not Sundays?

I tried CVS again yesterday, but they still aren't accepting comorbidities in Virginia. Ah, well. The county has moved to scheduling 1/19 finally. I'm 1/22.

We made corned beef the other night, and I made hash yesterday, and today were having a corned beef hash omelet, and it is so good.

That does sound fantastic.

JZ and Matilda are off to (COVID cohort, outside) church, after which Matilda will meet up her (masked up) friends MI and Ruby. This is only the second time she's hung with MI and first with Ruby, and they are the only two people she knows from her school. This will be the second time in the last month she's gotten to hang out with a few more of her friends.

SF has recently dropped from the purple to the red tier, and is trending down towards the orange tier (second safest). Test positivity rate is down to 1.2%, and cases per 100K is down to 6.6.

I'm hoping to get jabbed by April once they work their way through the teachers, and drop down an age group.

Second shot on Thursday resulted in relatively minor effects, other than rather more naps than usual this weekend. Now I have to decide what to do with my new superpowers.

One thing is that I may schedule a haircut. I think I do not have the tolerance for hair I have to actually do things with anymore. It gets everywhere and clogs my shower drain.

1.2% is amazing! Also, go Matilda. Which autocorrect made Marulanda???? Wtf is that?

Woke up with a headache this morning and did not get moving as planned. Still could get a lot done today...but probably won’t.

Fortunately you know you can rock a pixie cut. It looked so striking when you let it go gray.

[goes to double check Birth cert to make sure I didn't accidentally name her Marulanda]

We went ahead and reserved a rental house near Glacier National Park for a week in late August, since it's overwhelmingly likely Dylan and I will both be fully vaccinated by then, with a decent shot that Alex will be as well, and if not we're going to be driving there anyway so we can still socially distance. I'm ridiculously happy at the prospect of traveling again and going someplace I've never been before, but it still feels too good to be true.

We're also tentatively planning a weekend trip to Oklahoma in July for Dylan's 31-year high school reunion (since the 30th was canceled last summer), but I'm not as wildly enthusiastic about that because A) plane travel and B) Oklahoma in July is far, FAR less appealing than Montana in August.
