Sore throat, runny nose. Granddaughter had it first. First cold in more than a year and I feel like crap, but I’m not worried that it’s Covid. Yay.

Even the sun is trying to come out.

We had nothing but rain for several days.

No more fear of getting really sick.

A major load off.

Hope you had a lot of fun.

I have a convention to go to in August.

I am ready


Room booked and everything.

... I'm well past my 2nd shot and 'incubation' period but found that after 14 months of 'stuck at home' I had trouble deciding where I wanted to go first..... would have thought I'd managed to prioritize things better ....

... of course, the first few times out you find you're still a little skitzy about the whole experience...
... just remember, even if you're fully vaccinated; you're not bullet proof -- take care out there and stay wary
-- but you can actually smile at people now and they can see it....

kudos for getting your badge of honor - your shot is your 'love note' to society....

It is a good feeling, a great relief. You may yet get the Covids, but you will not be hospitalized for it, you will not die, you will not get "long-haul" disabilities from it.

I still wear a mask in stores, and still don't eat inside restaurants. Maybe that day will come. For now, I wear the mask and walk with confidence.
