Timelies all!
My parents and Gary's parents are all fully vaccinated. With the new CDC guidelines, that means we're having the first Seder at my MIL's house. It also means my folks can stay with us on their way back north.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So sorry to hear it, msbelle.
Got my first Pfizer today.
Not sore or sick but the fatigue is semi-hilarious.
Its like I'm depressed and can't drag myself out of bed but I actually WANT to do stuff and I'm at work working.

Our wings are not tired.
That's great Sheryl.

move out and draw fire
NYT and a couple others say the reaction to the second shot is worse for women than for men, which tracks with what I've observed but raises a LOT of questions about why bodies would react differently. Biology is complex.
Having a mobile injection team that could travel for a house call for such cases would be a blessing, particularly now that there's a vaccine that doesn't have to be specially handled.
A nursing group in the Netherlands (where, universal health care) shifted from making patients come in to having the nurses go to the patients' homes a few years ago, because the nurses chose to make that shift, and the results have been staggeringly great.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Just spoke with my aunt. My uncle probably only has a few days. He is not awake, his breathing is labored and rattling. He is not eating and their living wills request no feeding tubes.
I think they’ve been married over 50 years. They call each other Love. They had trouble getting pregnant, but would take my brother and I for a week some summers. They were the fun aunt and uncle.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh msbelle. They sound wonderful.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, msbelle.

Whenever I become eligible for the vaccine I am definitely taking a sick day or two afterwards.
And I’m going to take a bereavement day for my uncle and go scream into the void somewhere.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, msbelle, they sound wonderful. And you take whatever time you need--your work will just have to understand.
In NC I worked with a woman who called the grocery chain "Food Dog." Something about a younger relative, the logo, and foo dogs. It wore off on me, and then on H and then on the kids, and then on their friends. We all still call it Food Dog. When H was in Charlotte a couple years ago his brother finally asked, "What's with the Food Dog?" H had to call me to get the history beyond, "Carrie always called it that."
