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.

I carry mine in my wallet and have a copy of it on the cloud. In the cloud? In the cloud.

Just had colonoscopy and endoscopy. Thumbs up (not literally). Still slightly loopy. Whee!

I'm getting chicken saltada on the way home.

Saw one of the nurses who cared for me during the Year of the Hospital, so that was nice.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for loopiness and chicken saltada. Not so much for medical procedures. When I had my colonoscopy it was at a surgical center owned by one of my client doctors. When they were putting me under he started singing "Tell Laura I Love Her", which meant I went out in the middle of a burst of laughter. Not sure what the anethesia tech thought, but I was amused.

Texas governor Abbott has COVID. Mind you, he's had the vaccine and is receiving monoclonal antibodies, but still: Karma!

Unfortunately I expect he'll write it off as no big deal. Here's hoping for a terrible reaction to treatment.

Thrive to spite them

I have my vaccination card in my wallet. This being SC no one has asked to see it or any proof I'm vaccinated.

I haven't heard an update on my cousin in a bit, except the rehab place he is at had 2 cases of covid and was under quarantine but that should be ended by now. His ex wife had her sentencing and for getting a DUI with property damage and driving on a suspended (or maybe revoked license) while on probation for those same charges she got- 6months with time served so she'll be out in mid Oct, right around when the temporary guardianship runs out. So that will have to be dealt with again. When she gets out she will be on probation and have to go to AA 2x a week and go to a DUI class, not sure how the AA will work if the pandemic.

Various family members and I think she will get another DUI in less than 6 months of being released and will just get the same turn around of a short sentence and probation.
