One fortunate thing about my state's less-than-steller vaccination program was that I and the kids were able to get vaccines at the start of March by going to a grievously under-attended rural event. At the end of the day, they had so much vaccine still available that they just vaccinated everybody regardless of group. We just timed it to arrive near the end and it was vaccines for everybody with no waiting.

under-attended rural event
Huh. Did that happen to be in Clinton MO? That's where my aunt an uncle travelled to, to get their shots as soon as they could, and they reported a similar experience.

The one we went to was in Bethany, but the decision to go was based on previous rural events.

Nice to see tommyrot (or Tommy rotate, as my phone keeps wanting me to say) and Gud!
I'm sorry March was such a rough one, Tommy. I'm glad you've found and are finding your words. Ditto Raymond Holt from above.
Gud, I'm glad you got them even tough it's because of bad turnout. I just yesterday heard/read that we (U.S.) aren't likely going to reach herd immunity because of vaccination hesitancy. Boils my blood.
I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.
This. Bring on the juice. And the IV painkillers of various types.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
I get vaccine #1 in about an hour!

Tommy Rotate sounds like a new wave band. Tommy Rotate and the Spinners! No, wait, Spinners is already taken.
Tommy Rotate and The Vortex!
It's very good to see Tom and Gud here. Glad to hear Gud's fam got all shottinated.

Yay! So far I'm having the same effect with Shot #2 as I did with #1. Which is to say very mild muscle soreness. No more really than I feel after doing my pushup sets.
I had a sandwich yesterday! Forbidden, delicious bread. Mmmmm.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Maybe I'll celebrate with tacos.

And now I'm picturing tommyrot and Vortex jamming out on stage, and I LOVE the visual.
Yay for vaccines and sandwiches!
I'm out of eggs. This cannot stand.

They are SO necessary!
ION, I was watching a cooking video with Carla from BA and now I desperately want a Brocco Taco and you will too after you see this video (go to 14:52): [link]
So much melty cheeeeeese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
or Tommy rotate, as my phone keeps wanting me to say
Heh. Although only in moderation. Any more and I'd fall down. My sense of balance was never good, and it's worse now because of anti-anxiety meds.
And now I'm picturing tommyrot and Vortex jamming out on stage, and I LOVE the visual.
Last time I performed live on stage I was playing my electric violin. (I stopped playing it during the Great Bedbug Fiasco of Aught-Nine and never picked it up again.) I'm thinking I should start playing the violin, guitar, or bass guitar again. It's a good stress reducer and now I have the time.

Uuuugg. Some work stuff that is really not my usual bailiwick is falling apart right now and I don’t even know who to ask for help because our whole system is nuts and I hate this and it’s why I didn’t want this position. Grrrrrr.
Also I tried to use my new-ish ATM card and realized I have no idea what the PIN is. I tried like three or four different possibilities and none worked and now I need to handle that (and ended up using a different card and paying a $3 fee, hmph).
But I went to the dentist and I was fine and I have no cavities.
