For your amusement: oops and now with sound!
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Excuse me, but how is it 5:30 already?
And can someone bring me mac & cheese?

msbelle, coping ~ma to your mom and to you.
-t, glad your dad's surgery went quickly, and I hope the results are good.
I just had to do "Happy Hour from Home" mandatory corporate happy fun time. Zoom fatigue is real, and people are annoying.

Timelies all!
I think Mr. S may be part python or boa constrictor given how he likes to give hugs that are often too tight and too long. This morning he wouldn't let go of my purse when I needed to go to work. I had to pry his fingers off the strap, which of course made me a bad person. Sigh...

And I'm now very happy I wasn't able to get the shingles shot yesterday, because they've just moved the eligibility for anyone with 2 comorbidities to 3/31!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got more details and dad's surgeon is happy with the new stent and also how the old stents and bypass are holding up, so yay for all that!

Nice! (I know I said yesterday "If they move it earlier, do you think it'll be before 3/31?", so I was basically daring fate with that.)

You dared it in the right direction, so that's a good thing!

What is even happening?
Matt, I got my 1st Moderna shot last Thursday.
My husband (almost 57 y.o.) and mom (84) got their Pfizer shots on (I think) February 4th and February 25th (I know they reached full immunity the day I got my shot).
They really only had sore arms, and slight headaches after both doses. At the appointment for the second shot, the nurse gave mom a bottle of water to drink while she waited the 15 minutes after, and told her to push fluids (and take Tylenol if necessary). Mom was a few hours ahead of DH, so I passed on the advice.
My son's 24 y.o. girlfriend is a nurse. She got her vaccines a couple of months ago (also Pfizer). She felt a little flu-y (elevated temperature, general blahs) on the day after her second shot. My general understanding is that younger people feel more side effects. Still, she only needed to take one day off from work and then felt fine.
Why were you hoping to get Moderna?

I had my second dose yesterday at noon. Definitely starting a couple hours later my arm hurt a lot, but unlike the first time it also extended into feeling like my lymph nodes under that arm too? And this morning I was OK, but then this afternoon I've been achy and tired. Not too bad, really, though.
