Ohio is allowing 16 year olds to be vaccinated as of March 29, which could be a big factor in sending Casper (17) back - if she goes it would be April 6 start date. But I think only one if the vaccines is approved for under 18 and I think it’s Pfizer (two doses, less available). Must check. (Edit: this is correct.)

Flea, yes. It's Pfizer (2-shots) which is currently authorized for ages 16 and up

Moderna (2-shots) and the one-shot Johnson & Johnson for 18 and up. I saw something on the news this morning about Moderna testing the vaccine on younger people right now, too (under age 12). [link]

Moderna is running a 12-17 trial here in my city! We tried to sign up but they were full. Casper is 18 in August, and those 5 months probably don’t make much difference biologically, but oh well.

Unrelated to anything, we made the Tik Tok pasta that ate the internet last night and it was freaking delicious. The kids really know what they're about.

The feta and tomato dealie? It looks really good!

It really is. And even though it's super easy it's also kind of fun to make. Recommended!

Hmm. I was googling some stuff, and it's recommended that people who had Covid and were treated with monoclonal antibodies should wait 90 days after having Covid to get vaccinated. Apparently because having those monoclonal antibodies can actually reduce the efficacy of the vaccine because it basically stops the vaccine from working before it gets started. That's from the CDC. So I guess I need to wait until the beginning of May. That's fair.

Several of my co workers who are just now eligible to get the vaccine are having trouble getting appointments. I need to call where mom is bc I think they have them now. But today has been tough.

The time change has wrecked me. I started work at 6 am on Sunday. Barely slept Sat night. Barely slept Sunday night. Did not sleep last night. I have up trying around 2 am.

I had a telehealth therapy appointment at 9 and was finally getting sleepy and so at 10 finally managed to get a nap for 2 hours.

I like days being longer. I hate the change to DST.

Also I'm apparently strong enough now to start tackling the next set of issues I want to grieve/heal/improve in therapy. There is some stuff , general kind of things, I wish I could talk over with someone besides my therapist so I can be more coherent when talking to him about more specific stuff . I shoul start journaling again.

my car issue was the battery. Just under $500 for jump start, full check up, and new battery installed.

I'm glad it wasn't something more complicated/serious but dang, $500 seems like a lot for that. Possibly I am just old and not adjusting for inflation.
