The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

DavidS, it took several hours for my confirmation email to come through from Walgreens. Don't sweat it.

When I showed up for my appointment, I only had to give my name, they didn't ask for the confirmation code or email. They did ask for my photo ID.

Same experience as dcp, David. It was making me anxious how long it took Walgreens to send me my confirmation emails, but the Walgreens app did show me my COVID-19 Vaccination appointments pretty quickly. I just took a look a the Walgreens website and couldn't figure out how to find my appointments until I went to the vaccination scheduler and an "Manage existing COVID-19 vaccination appointment" option finally showed up.

Our wings are not tired.

Sunlight inactivates SARS-CoV-2 way faster than expected

So are you saying that Trump was right about the tanning beds? Actually the part about using the rays in air filtration units sounded interesting.

Definitely understand appointment anxiety! I ended up with two appointments for my second dose, because it was supposed to be a Wednesday and as of Saturday they hadn’t made me an appointment, bu ‘‘twas volunteering and got someone to add me. And then they made me an appointment. Oops.

Tom, glad sunlight takes out the virus....it also takes out me (she says, from a shaded pool chair). I am so pale I can only take a little at a time!

Every year though I think “why don’t I just rent a house for a month in the winter??” Maybe next year my dog will be mature enough to trust in a rental house.

We took the dog with us to the AirBnB in NY for a couple weeks this past winter and it really added a layer of stress. Not super relaxing to have to worry about dog issues.

Thanks, dcp and shrift. Anxiety now erased!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I loved when we'd go to the beach and my BiL and SiL would bring their dog, because it meant 2 things: (1) unfettered dog access, and (2) not my responsibility.

My NY sister offered to try the vaccine links to get Brendon an appointment since I we have had no luck. She is up at all hours of the night and might have more luck. We could probably get him in to Publix but we are too angry about the Publix/DeSantis corruption deal that we refuse. So CVS and the county are the options. Mona has been working with the system in NY getting people appointments so she is real good at it. She has set many people up. She was working with Rite Aid lining up waiting list options for extra doses at the end of the day and gets them all matched up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I love our doggies to pieces, but I do like getting away from them on vacation and not having to worry if they’re getting Into the trash or whatever.
