Ordinarily I hate shopping, but the fact I’m now immunized is glorious FREEDOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! to go pick out my own stuff at the grocery, see new things to try, etc.<\/p>\n
Jane is still ‘percolating’ from her shot, but she was able to join me in a foray to the pond store, where we got supplies and the one koi pattern we’d not been able to find, simple orange-white pinto type. This koi only understands Japanese: he’s an import, and has very nice color. He’s about thumbsized, but he’ll grow. Jane and I did go to the Swinging Door for lunch—I went in after food and she and I shared a burger in the parking lot. <\/p>\n
Next week when she’s fully percolated, she and I have dinner reservations, and I’m going to have (gasp!) a glass of wine. I may have to practice beforehand, to be sure it doesn’t drop me facedown in the bean dip. I jest.<\/p>\n
The hands and feet are a tiny bit improved. It’s slow. But it’s more nuisance tingle than pain. I can type, and think, and I’m working…we’re both working. Just my own sideways bit on vaccine risks—there’s a risk to anything I ingest or take in that it can affect my hands, and yes, the vaccine did a number on my hands for a few days, and it hurt, but a) it passed and b) I bet it would. Sometimes you just take a sensible risk—and the chances of you being run down tomorrow by a taxi stolen by a lunatic clown are out there too. So is the chance that we will rear-end an unseen asteroid the size of Chicago. BUT—the chances we won’t are greater. The chances of your developing your own unique reaction to the vaccine are out there—but the chances of your getting that clot reaction are 1 in a million who got the shot safely, you can always search out Pfizer and Moderna, which don’t have the problem, and your chances of getting clots from Covid if you get it are 16 in 100. I’ll take my chances with the taxi and the asteroid, not the virus. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
