Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Like I said. Yikes!

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

Good plan, Epic. Never hurts to be polite to the maybe-rulers of the future.

I'm really sorry Dana, Sparky. Other people, man.

Sympathies, Pix. I haven't contributed to the conversation, I'm sorry. Going through this with my mom, then H's mom and his brother practically at the same time leaves me no spoons to revisit that place. All possible best to you and yours though, as you navigate it.

A friend gave us plastic sleeves for our vax cards, and H found us clips for our collar, pocket, shirt hem, whathaveyou, with retractable leashes for the plastic sleeve. Less intrusive than lanyards.

Oh Laura--it's always something. At least it's fixed, and you guys will be there soon.

And yay, Matilda! I'm so glad for her that she's seeing her people again!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I got a plastic sleeve for mine and stowed it in a zippered pocket of my purse. I also took a picture of it and saved it to my Favorites folder on my phone, because it seemed like a good idea to have a picture in case a pterodactyl steals my purse with my actual vax card in it. (What? It could happen.) (I guess if my phone is in my purse when the pterodactyl steals it, then I'm screwed.) (I may not have thought this pterodactyl plan through very well.)

Our wings are not tired.

We made it to Otter Lake and unloaded the vehicle. Animals are happy again. Tired.

I need to do something with my vax card which sits in my wallet now but needs a sleeve at least.

Back it up to the cloud, Steph!

I have not yet laminated my vaccination card, but then I am frequently the only person in sight wearing a mask to go into shops and restaurants here in Arkansas. It's 50/50 whether I'll eventually be refused entry for not having one, or for HAVING one.

My vax card has just been riding around in my wallet, but thanks to the conversation here, I did finally remember to sign up for the state of CA digital one.

I've still got some details to work out on my pterodactyl plan.

You know, I think my iPhone backs up my photos to the cloud, so I guess the pterodactyl can take my iPhone, too.

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

I have the QR code for the digital cards on my phone and the physical card in my purse. I have no pterodactyl insurance, other than being in the state's database

I…need to make sure I can still find my physical card? I took photos several times and have one saved as a “note” in my phone but am open to other suggestions as well. I was carrying the real one around and decided I should stop doing that and now I’m….not actually sure where it is?

We do have a state vaccination system but I think most places don’t know about it/recognize a screenshot of that yet.

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.

meara, my records with the state aren't complete - I received my MMR booster and Hep A & B series in '15, and they aren't on there. (My COVID and shingles series, Tdap booster and flu shots are all recorded.) Had to call my doctor's office and ask if they could correct it.
