Now I have to get an appointment to renew my driver's license and get the Real ID. The DMV has an online page to schedule appointments (no walk-ins); they go live at 3:00 or 3:30 each Tuesday and book appointments for the week. No scheduling any further ahead, no appointments made by phone ... and, so far, no appointment for me. And, yet, it's better than the city's vaccine scheduling site.

I saw a statistics infographic not too long ago that for whatever population it was reporting on, flu hospitalizations had dropped from 174,000+ in 2019 to about 1,400 in the past year. Which really underscores that masks and social distancing do work, though Covid-19 being both more virulent and more dangerous than the flu means we need the vaccinations too.

And, in other news, it turns out that Aesop was right.

Our wings are not tired.
Shaking hands may be a thing of the past. It would be a good plan to continue many of the habits established in the past year as permanent changes. Mindfulness on hand washing, more delivery and pickup shopping, masks in crowded venues or traveling. This will not be our last pandemic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is delightful, Toddson
I am paralyzed with indecision about lunch. Do I want a burger or a steak sandwich?

What is even happening?
Being chonky isn't a comorbidity that qualifies for the vaccine in Ohio. WHAT EVEN AM I CHONKY FOR THEN
Carbs. (I may be being transferry.)
Sheesh, Tep. I just looked at Ohio's eligibility requirements, and here I was thinking MA had gotten too detailed.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I've tried Noom but it's was too pop science cutesy for me. In terms of how it tries to get you to lose weight, it's about the same as weight watchers. So nothing revolutionary. I really hate tracking what I eat, though, which both of those programs require.
Yeah, I ended up noping out almost immediately because of the cutesy feel. I felt like it was talking down to me, and it had the kind of cheerful tone that immediately brings out my inner grumpy cynic. I think I'm going to play around with my existing personal system for gameifying my life, give myself some quests on top of my existing daily step count and fruit and vegetable serving tracking.
