Hooray for people with appointments!

Cindy, thank you thank you thank you! Thanks to your post and insomnia I have vaccine appointments!!!
sj, I'm so glad my old teammate, insomnia, and I were of some help.
Today, Governor Baker announced the vaccine rollout schedule for everyone else in Massachusetts, so if TCG hasn't had his, sign him up when you can, too. [link]
Residents over the age of 60 and workers in certain industries will become eligible to book appointments this Monday, March 22, followed by residents over the age of 55 and individuals with at least one qualifying medical condition that puts them at an increased risk due to COVID-19 on Monday, April 5.
Then, on Monday, April 19, the state will expand eligibility to all residents over the age of 16, according to Baker’s office.
Baker is having a press conference at 10:30 EDT.
edit 10:45am: It hasn't started yet, but when it does, you can stream on WBUR [link]

TCG has his, my mother stepfather and grandfather have theirs, my inlaws have theirs. I'm the last holdout, and two weeks after I get my last shot, I'm shipping ltc off to her grandparents for several days.

Oh yes! I'm sure you need the break, and ltc and her grandparents need spoiling time.
My DH and mom have had both shots and are 2+ weeks out from the second shot. C will get his second shot on 3/23. I'm scheduled for mine on 4/8. My older kids still haven't begun theirs (which is right, since they're healthy 20-somethings).
It would be nice if everyone could be vaccinated by Mother's Day. The other day, my mother (who has been pretty good about staying safe) said, "I can't believe it's been a year of my life. I'm 84. I don't have many left." Which -- I mean -- I know, but it still made me sick to my stomach.

Thanks, Cindy. My mother has been so depressed recently not being able to see ltc. They are so close.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Love to hear these vax appointments rolling out!
I got up and made coffee, and I drank my coffee and now my coffee cup is empty. And this saddens me. There is a slight, "where did you go" feeling of betrayal as I look at my empty cup even though I ingested every drop.
