Our wings are not tired.

Oh, I like your neighbor, Teppy. That is quite fun.

That bike is super cute, Calli! I like that cruiser looking style

I love that, Steph!

Thanks, guys.

My 22 y-o niece got her first shot in Atlanta yesterday. I have no idea how - she doesn't have any comorbitities. She's in a choral conducting masters program at GA State, but I don't know whether that made a difference... like, I don't think she's teaching this term. Oh, I wonder whether she maybe volunteered to help like meara did. I mean, I'll ask her. I'm just pondering out loud.

I might volunteer to help once I get vaccinated, if they're seeking completely layperson help. I'd be happy to do that.

Pork chops and Instant Pot parm risotto tonight. Good.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm so frustrated at the vaccine eligibility rules. If I lived in NY, then I'd qualify for it under at least four different categories. In New Jersey, I'd qualify in at least one. In Ohio, I don't qualify at all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In Ohio, I don't qualify at all.

Tim only qualifies starting today because he's 54. His heart surgery, autoimmune disease, and immunosuppressant meds apparently aren't high-risk enough. Ohio is so fucked up.

move out and draw fire

I will totally copy the inflatable string guy, if and when my household is vaccinated.

Mal went back to school today (yay sparklers cheering). The cat was miserable all day until she heard him coming home. He says each of his classes has about 6 students in it, and most of the teachers are at school in person (a couple remote in). His Health teacher didn't wear her mask, which is both ironic b/c Health and on brand b/c she's a total idiot.

His health teacher didn’t wear a mask?! Wtf? Is that not required? (If not, dear god)

I am not loving this month, I’ve had bad migraines like 3 of the last 4 days? My meds generally end up working but leaves me feeling blah the rest of the day, and worried tomorrow will be bad too, etc etc. I had almost none in January/February so I don’t know if it’s allergies or what. I need to do stuff like dishes and laundry and go to the pharmacy and I’m instead on the couch feeling bleh and also disturbed im getting very little work done the past week

Punishingly Intricate

Hil, what about going to Kentucky? I have MD friends who qualify in PA, but not here yet, who were able to get vaccinated there.

It *is* required. I'm debating whether to report it or not. Apparently (since most of the class is remoting in) several students saved the video to report it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I would think that the more people who report the Health teacher, the better. Not for the Health teacher but for ensuring compliance because hey, still pandemic out there.

I had my EEG today. They even did the strobe light things to try and induce a seizure but there was no seizure. Fingers crossed that it doesn't show brain issues. This is not the area to live carless.

Last week I had my first appt with my new thorough doctor and they did a full physical including an EKG and heart is good. Which is stress relieving since anxiety attacks feel like your heart is going to implode.

Hopefully the five tubes of blood I had drawn and other bodily things I gave as offerings will give a clue as to what caused my seizures and it will be an avoidable situation in the future.

Post-Covid fatigue, brain fog and cough continue. I'm so happy when I read about people receiving their vaccines.
