Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Well yay being able to get it ANd hopefully enjoy some snoballs, gris!

Doggo and I went to an indoor/outdoor play part thing (which had some yummy drinks available but not feeling at 1130am!) and got to play with 7 of his cousins! Very cute.

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

askye, I got my 2nd Moderna shot on Thursday afternoon. I made a point of pre-hydrating, and having supplies laid in - orange juice, V8, Gatorade, Pedialyte, bananas, chicken soup, etc. Felt okay until mid-day Friday, then slept on and off until Saturday afternoon (now). I've had a fever on and off for the last twenty-four hours, but I'm feeling better now.

What is even happening?

When I signed up on the CVS site, it basically said “you get what you get and you don’t complain about it, missy!” So Moderna it is.

Yeah, the clinic I went to said it offered Pfizer and Moderna, but basically, they do different brands on different days, and you take what they offer. I wasn't sure what I would get, but I was just happy to get it.

I'm glad you're feeling better, dcp.

askye, on Twitter, my pinned tweet is the start of the thread on how my side-effects played out. If you're a person who wants spoilers, read it. If that makes you feel anxious, avoid it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, when I got it, they had it organized so that everybody on the same day gets the same kind, and then you come back exactly 21 days later to get your second one, so they just have to make sure the days line up right.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Kaiser was handing out tokens when you came in the door with Ps or Ms (J&J was on hold) and when I got my first shot there were a lot of people getting their second shot who had to specify what they’d had before. I guess that’ll be me in a couple of weeks.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was at a POD mostly for DoE employees at a high school gym. We got Moderna because it's a little easier to handle for that kind of setting. The hospital right by the school where my office is does Pfizer. I expect it to be overrun with teenagers in the near future.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My university had several vax sites open to staff and instructors, and they all had Pfizer. So that’s what I got.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mixed marriage here. I'm Team Moderna, since that's what NIH was giving their employees. Gary's Team Pfizer, and has an appointment for his second shot Friday.(He went through the county site.)

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.

Jim's mother is in the hospital with a fever. I have said no, I'm sorry, our limit is one parent hospitalized per week, she'll simply have to get better and go home.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Excellent advice, amyparker. Let's hope she does just that!

Dana, there's a fic writer who was very prolific in SGA and SPN fandoms on LJ. Most of her stuff migrated to AO3, and she is now writing in CQL, just as an observance of trivia.

Hooray for everybody getting whatever kind of vaccine they can, even if they have to fly from another country to do it!
