It rained today and is cold and crappy, so I stayed indoors after work.
Tomorrow is my second dose of the vaccine. One of my project managers warned me that the line may be long - apparently it took one of her co-workers two hours to get it today. One hour waiting outside the building, and forty minutes inside the building. Oh joy. Although it did kind of take about forty-five last time - what with lines, being called, and the fifteen minutes after.
In a way, I'm envying the folks getting the J&J (Johnson & Johnson).
She advised to go early, but I think that may have been the problem. People coming earlier than their scheduled time. We get a scheduled time for a reason.
We shall see.
Mother has had no side-effects from her second dose of the Moderna outside of a really sore arm.
Mother: Of course I took two tynenol afterwards. But I hurt normally.
Me: That could be the reason.
Mother: No one told me not to take it.
Me:Well no - I'm not going to tell my poor in pain mother not to take pain relievers - I value my life.
Mother: Exactly. I'm in pain normally - I'm not going to stop taking pain relievers!
Honestly, I'm confused. They say not to do it before. But people do. They say do take it before and after for people who had a bad experience the first round. I don't think they know.
I told mother - they were telling people not to - because they don't want you to take a fever reducer. That's the reason.
Mother: Well, I've not gotten a fever.
Me: I should hope not, you took tynenol.
Hopefully it worked. I think it did. I'm going with that.
Sisinlaw got an appointment, because of her ashma. And in Massachustus they are apparently vaccinating all students - regardless of state residency, so niece will most likely get the vaccine. (Over 14, can get it.)

The Governor and the Mayor are still fighting over opening stuff up in the city. The Governor decided to open up gyms for limited capacity indoor classes (honestly - I think they've already been doing some of that), and the Mayor thinks it is too soon. The governor has changed the restrictions on domestic travel into NY, you no longer have to quarantine or get a test. The Mayor is upset about it and thinks it is too soon.
They've been fighting for months now. I've had it with the Mayor, who changes his views on things on a daily basis or so it seems. And I don't know what I think about the Governor. Co-workers and I have decided if the Governor were to leave office it probably wouldn't effect us that much or change our lives for the better. (I think we were all kind of hoping it might, but have come to the realization that it most likely won't.)
Meanwhile the Governor is still fighting with his fellow Democrats. Well, the democrats under the age of 55-60, at any rate. The voters meanwhile are taking the same stance that Biden and the Attorney General of NY has - waiting for her to complete her investigation into the matter - before coming to any conclusions. In short, after four years of Trump, and a pandemic, New Yorkers no longer trust insane marketing people. We're kind of onto their game now. This may mean that folks can't destroy politicians and fellow celebrities any longer via social media platforms? Not that they ever really did. Cancel culture is kind of an illusion - all you are doing is cancelling people on Twitter and Facebook. The world is not limited to Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. People can be successful outside of social media.

My game plan is to watch Justice League, and possibly The Falcon and The Winter Solider tomorrow and during the weekend. Possibly just Justice League. It's been enough time since the last one - that it will feel new. Also I can remember the last version well enough to notice the differences.
I'm still baffled by why WB chose Whedon of all people to finish and re-shoot Snyder's Justice League. Now that the reviews are out in regards to the Snyder cut? Even more baffled, not less. ( Read more... )
Anyhow, I finally figured out why I've been exhausted all week long - frigging Daylight Savings Time has screwed up my time clock again. If it weren't for the fact that I don't like the desert, require lots of trees, an ocean nearby, and am allergic to dust and dry air, I'd move to Arizona and be done with it.
