This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

That’s wonderful, Tep!

Our wings are not tired.

Yay hugs! And pizza! (and salad)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

What is even happening?

Jesse, sj, and anyone else in Massachusetts, Snacky shared this MA vaccine appointment finder bot on Twitter. It's how she got her appointment: [link]

Theodosia, I didn't mean to leave you out. I thought I'd seen that you'd already been vaccinated because of your job.

Congrats, askye! That’s very impressive
