Vaccinated!

This morning I got my second Pfizer shot. I’m now fully vaccinated. They did say it would take two weeks before it’s fully effective. I’m willing to wait before we start getting out and socializing like we used to.

Getting the shot was very easy. They were on time and efficient. For most of today I felt fine. This evening my arm is hurting, I have a headache and I’m feeling really tired. Let’s hope that’s all I’ll feel from this second shot. I feel good about my COVID future now that I’m vaccinated. I just hope that the rest of the population will get on board and get the shots. New cases have started to go back up again and that worries me. Today there were 63,825 new cases. Of course that’s too many.

First Shot Done!

Last Thursday I got an email from Kaiser saying I needed to made an appointment. It didn’t say what for so I clicked on the email and it took me to the website page for making appointments for the first COVID vaccine shot. I couldn’t believe that I was getting the shot already. I didn’t think I’d be getting it for a few months. So I made the appointment and this morning went to Kaiser on Capital Hill and got my fist shot. I got the Pfizer vaccine. I get the second shot in 3 weeks. I’m so relieved! In the picture I’m covering up my medical patient number.

Sad Day

Today the death toll from the COVID 19 pandemic reached 400,000. That is just crazy. When will it stop? Who knows. This evening the bell at the National Cathedral was rang 400 times. We went up there to see the event. It was so quiet. On the cathedral they projected “Lord hear our prayer” and the number 400,000.

Vacation

We got home today from a small vacation. We had to cancel our trip to California because the wineries out there are all closed because of the pandemic. I lost money on it but that’s life. Instead we went to Charlottesville to visit wineries for a few days. We stayed at the little cottage we stayed at last year. We visited lots of wineries and experienced the different ways they are doing tastings now that they can’t have you inside the wineries. We experienced lots of different tastings. We had a good time on the vacation. We did a good job of avoiding people and having as little contact with others as was possible.

There were 50,273 new cases today. This is just crazy! When will this thing end?
