Went and voted in the local mayoral and city council election. It has been a super nasty negative battle and mostly I look forward to the hate mail and phone calls stopping. My local precinct was doing a brisk business and had a record turnout for the hour. Huh. I bet a lot of people were voting against someone, but yay voting!

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.
I'm so sorry, msbelle.
Dad celebrated his bday yesterday by getting into a FB smackdown with close-minded "Christians" from his hometown, saying [paraphrased] that they need to reread the bible, and that Jesus and G-D would disapprove of their actions. Don't argue with aggressively lapsed Catholics who went to SF for the Summer of Love. They can quote the bible, explain freedom of religion, and read you for filth.
I did like your dad, when I met him.
My first(?) Covid vaccine is scheduled for Thursday. My oldest son spent the entire day on it, even though I told him to stop and that I'd try CVS early again in the morning. It's in Southie, which I don't know at all, but am happy to learn.
Me too! I got in somehow this morning when Walgreen's released a bunch of slots. They're doing 1b+, which in Illinois means certain comorbidities qualify. So while my history of PE and DVT blood clots don't get me in, my chonkiness does. I tried to get an appointment for my sister right after and the whole system had crashed, so we'll keep trying for her.
They scheduled a second shot a month out, and the rumor I'm hearing is Moderna, but I'll take what they give me and like it.
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, msbelle.
I can't begin to say how much it cheers me to come here and hear more Buffistas are getting vaxed up.
Yeah my sister and BIL got theirs today and my BFF gets hers tomorrow. Somehow Washington is still nowhere near those tiers, so I’m very relieved to have done the volunteer thing. I’m supposed to get my second shot next week.
Also, v annoyed at my body for having so many headaches this month. January was nearly headache free it felt like, but Feb/March have been awful. I do normally feel like they’re seasonal, and my meds do usually help thank god, but still. Obnoxious. Also I really want a massage.
I have a massage scheduled for Thursday, which is 2 weeks after my first shot. Very exciting.
I’m sorry, msbelle.
I got an automated phone call from my county’s COVID line. I was excited at first, but then I realized they were just calling to let me know my request to be notified when I could get vaccinated had gone through. It wasn’t the notification itself. I’m not really expecting to hear until April, but it was still disappointing.
