THAT phone call came.....

The City of San Francisco- Public Health Nurse called me to say I can get the J&J shot next Tuesday. They are arranging for someone to stay with me afterwards to make sure I don't TURN all PURPLE and explode into a shower of plastic diamonds... or whatever. Yes, they are coming to my house...I can't leave.. if I got the virus, it would tear into me like a hot fudge Sundae.

Biden arranging for free Lyft and Uber rides to get vaccines.
Cuomo arranging for a week of free travel in the transit system for shots.
People visiting homes to give shots.

FINALLY, after a year of nothing and a few months of Biden mobilizing the country we're getting there.

Good luck again - my wife had that shot, nothing - not even a sore arm!

So yeah it will be great to get out and about again.. I might be able to use my Scooter.. which would be awesome. Just walking around the mall again, even with a mask on would be great... But you know, it hasn't been all that bad.. with my weed deliveries and being able to order stuff on line, from Amazon, watching Movies on my PS4... and playing Monster Hunter.

And..find time to come here and hang with you guys!!!

Between now and Tuesday, start writing down questions that occur to you and be ready to ask them so you make the most of the visit.

And it's folly to think I won't give in and wind up going to Braum's this evening. So both I, and my soon-to-be-enlarged waistline thank you

Now I may have to have GRUBHUB send me as big fat Sundae... well maybe a smaller than "Big fat" Sundae... I don't need the extra pounds either.

A lovely DUer (and aren't they all??) suggested stretching, bending, swinging the injected arm to reduce possibility of soreness. During the waiting period for the second, I was doing that. The jabber asked me why, and I explained. She nodded with approval. The others waiting were all on their phones, so I doubt they noticed me.

Stay safe.
