Yeah, I did a deep dive into variants and efficacy and blah blah blah to figure out if we can safely go back to a place with a buffet.

Official answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is even happening?

Happy fully vaccinated day to you and the Mister, Dana!

When I let myself think about it, I would get a wiggins from buffets/salad bars/etc. before Covid. I think Jesus himself would have to be the caterer, before I considered another one.

I've heard/seen things that imply we'd need booster vaccines after six months. That seems to be less than accurate - seemingly, the Pfizer vaccine maintains 90+ percent active after six months ... it may be that it's too early to tell if it'll remain so longer.

I think we will probably need boosters by then, because of variants of concern. I've been reading not-great stuff about the mRNA vaccines' ability to neutralize a couple of the variants (Brazilian and South African I think).

brenda, if you pop in, I hope shot 2 goes well for you.

Today's 2nd Moderna shot day for me, too. I've got to get ready to leave, because my vaccine site is only 15 miles away, but last time, it took me over an hour to get there.

Wish me monsters.*

* Immunity, with relatively few side effects (like just enough for me to have some confidence).

Our wings are not tired.

It is a most glorious thing! Yeah, I'd skip the buffet celebration though.

And I wish you monsters, Cindy!

Hmm, I've managed to forget what I had to say. Oh well.

Well stabbed, brenda! Don't pass out in a plate of linguini.

I just booked my first massage since 1/2020. I am SOOOOOOO excited. It will be 2+ weeks after my second shot.

Got my second dose as well this afternoon, so we'll see how side effects go.

So good to read the reports of stabination.

Ah, massage. That isn't as high on my list as a facial. It has been over a year and I dread how my face will react after this long. Probably wait until summer when I am back in NY.
