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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Askye that’s great. Way to go

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, askye! That’s very impressive

That's so cool, askye! I know you've been working really hard and they value your contributions.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I am so happy for Buffistas and other getting vaccinations (or getting closer to getting appointments to get vaccinations).
Here we started to re-open (not everything, not everywhere, a green-passport system, and masks are mandatory [even if too many people still think that this is a recommendation and not a requirement. I'd like to stab them a bit]). It's been almost three weeks of re-opening at this point, and since the numbers of new cases and deaths keep dropping I'm at a point where I'm trying to convince myself to trust the data even if it still feels too risky to go out and about. So this Thursday I'll meet a friend for lunch outside, get a much needed haircut, and I'm also seriously thinking about going to my yoga studio to practice there (all places allowing people who were vaccinated/had Covid to enter). I still feel uneasy about it (and not sure if I remember how to do these things correctly), but even if I don't trust people's behavior and want to run away from crowds/spaces with lots of people in them, I have to trust the data coming from the Ministry of Health. Right?
