Short blog entry today because I don't have a whole lot to report from the last month. The highlight I guess is me getting the first vaccination for COVID-19. After trying numerous websites to try and get an appointment booked without any success, my coworker pointed me to https://podvaccine.azdhs.gov/, where I was able to find plenty of openings at the University of Arizona.
The U of A has a really good setup in my opinion. I apparently registered for a drive-thru vaccination, so I was in my car the whole time. They blocked off a part of the grassy mall area (usually where football game tailgates are held) and I drove up to get my shot and was in-and-out in about 30 minutes. [mmm...In-n-Out...] You have to wait 15 minutes after getting the shot just to make sure that you don't show any allergic reactions or immediate side effects. After getting my first shot, I felt fine and all I had was a sore arm for a few days.
My next appointment is scheduled for May 7, but I hear the second shot could make you feel sick/weak. I prepared for that consequence by scheduling it for a Friday afternoon should I need all weekend to recuperate.
Here's to trying to get back to a normal life! Bowling league ended and I finished the season with a 206, my highest score ever and since I averaged 193 many years ago. We're back and playing pool at the hall without masks and gyms don't even require masks upon entry. And I've got my first out-of-state travel planned for next month when I'll be flying out to D.C. over Memorial Day Weekend.
Stay safe out there everyone! We're almost FREEEE! :D
