Huh. Kaiser tells me that I have a high-risk medical condition that will make me eligible to be vaccinated mid-March. I wonder what it is. Also, oh, hey, it's mid-March.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did I say this here already? A friend of mine who thought she wasn't up yet got a notification from her healthcare provider, and got the J&J shot last week and is done! So, you know, take what you can get.
Because I'm a weirdo and keep going back to the website, it looks like my most convenient CVS is now giving vaccines, which is exciting. I still figure I'll end up getting it from my doctor's office, but we'll see...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I picked my dad up at the hospital, he turned down pizza because he wanted a tuna salad sub from Subway, but I got my pizza (and salad -- why is salad made by a restaurant always better than the salad you can make at home???). And since Dad is fully vaccinated and I have home-grown antibodies, I got to hug him for the first time in over a year.

That’s wonderful, Tep!

Our wings are not tired.
Yay hugs! And pizza! (and salad)

Oh yay, Steph. And 100% agreed that bought salad is way better.

We have made a dog training plan and mr. flea is getting his shot (J&J) tonight
That is good on both counts!! Do make sure the puppy has a chance to play with other puppies, that's important too apparently.
And since Dad is fully vaccinated and I have home-grown antibodies, I got to hug him for the first time in over a year.
Yay!!
There definitely seems to be a momentum of more and more people being vaccinated, which is good! Hoping the "May 1st" idea turns out true.

I mean, they can say everyone is eligible but the limit is still the number of shots/slots, right?

Yeah, Jesse--not ideal if it's "you can sign up!...for a shot in December". But the giiiiiiant vaccination site makes me hope it'll be possible.

Thrive to spite them
Yay Teppy.
There has been talk about how we are "Best of" the company and I thought it was just....talk. but it turns out our stote literally is the Best of. The chain awards Best Of awards for associates and stores.
Out of the Top 42 (I think that was the number) of stores our store was named the best.
We beat out the Flagship store and all the other larger stores so that is pretty cool. Our store manager was a huge part so it's no wonder he was promoted.
What this means for us is that starting next quarter every employee will get 30% off as employee discount instead of 20%. And bragging rights.
