Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Happy moving day, JenP! May there be no strained backs, pinched fingers, broken glasses or missing pots!

I am trying to get a vaccine appointment for Casper (who becomes eligible next Monday in my state) and I got into the hold queue on my 13th call!

...I've now been on hold for 50 minutes. But I'm hopeful! (I'm not even positive this provider has Pfizer, but I *think* they do.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Got my second shot this morning, woo. No side effects yet, unless I can claim not wanting to work as a side effect.

I got an appointment yesterday for about a month from now. I am taking the whole day as a sick day because why not? I need to get there and get back and who knows how I'll react and I have a lot of sick time I rarely use.

Success! at minute 65 of holding. So, as of May 7 3/4 household members will be fully protected (no vaccines yet approved for under 16, sorry Dillo.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Found out this week that my work is giving employees up to 3 hours off for each shot. Nice. I did mine over a lunch break so no biggie, but I had planned to take a full day for shot #2 and now I won’t. Yay!

Does the happy dance of loved ones being vaccinated!

I think we are supposed to get 2 hours per shot but figuring that out seems like more trouble than it is worth to me right now. I have time to look into it, though. I ended up getting an appointment across a bridge, my county (or Kaiser, I've heard both) is reputedly not getting the full flow of doses they were.
