My son got his 1st Covid shot through his work. He works in a lab that tests for - among other things - Covid!
I'm a little embarrassed to say I'm kinda jealous. I really want to get this vaccine, but I think I'm awfully far down the list of eligibility. I'm hoping by April we ( hubby, daughter and I) can get it.

Well this is random but I have to make fun of myself. I grew up watching “Unsolved Mysteries” every week. The music gave me the willies. Some of the stories scared me, some were just creepy. Well I’ve just discovered that amazon has the entire original series on prime video and I started watching it and good grief!! I am 40 years old and this show still
gives me the willies LOL!! What a great show it is though, they really did a great telling the stories. And Robert Stack was a brilliant choice of host. His voice adds to the eery creepiness! But jeez I am a bit surprised at myself, I can’t believe after all the true crime shows and books I’ve read over the last 2 decades, that Unsolved Mysteries still gives me the willies! I thought I had outgrown it but I apparently not LOL!

I finished my first term back at college with 99.5 in one class and 99.8 in the other. Fingers crossed I can keep doing this well. I keep telling myself I'd do anything to finish this degree and just hope I can keep putting the work in every week. I'm on a little break right now before new term begins February 3rd.

One of those moments that I am loving this small town! Service extraordinaire! My smoke/CO2 alarm started beeping yesterday. Contractor came to change one battery in the one that was beeping, not knowing that they are all connected. The beeping just kept getting louder and more frequent. Yesterday, about an hour after the battery was replaced it started chirping again. Contractor was on the way to Vegas.

Found the electrician that wired my house on FB. Sent a message he walked me through finding the right breaker to get the beeping to stop. Love that! Finally found the right breaker and all is quiet. Electrician is coming tomorrow to replace all of the batteries.

Contractor, you would think, would know that, he will learn something that I know and he doesn't!

We were getting ready for my mom bath. She must have heard us. When I went to take her blanket down she appeared to be asleep, I gave her a kiss on the cheek and she did not wake up and then told niece we will let her sleep. As I exited her room her eyes were wide opened when I looked back and when I came closer to her they were closed. I think she does not want her bath this morning and is faking sleeping. I told her I will let her sleep for awhile, LOL.

Looks like the vaccine will possibly be available for children by late spring. Testing is being done on teenagers now and later they will begin testing vaccines on younger children.

The recovery rate is much higher with children. Some sadly have died.

I like what Baylor University has done. All students are required to be tested weekly.

College students are thought to be large spreaders of COVID-19.

I can't help my twinges of jealousy when I read all the posts here and elsewhere about people getting vaccines. First we were screwed over by Pfizer and now Moderna is also cutting back on deliveries, and I'm not comforted by the PM's assurances that everything is just fine.... We are still under a SAH order and it's getting old.

cwille,

I hear you. It’s not perfect. We had hundreds of doses that were lost in transit to our state.

They are supposed to replace them as soon as possible.

NHWM - you hear but I'm not sure you get it. Canada has zero domestic supply of vaccines or the special syringes which can coax more from the BioNtech vials, as of now vaccinations in my region have pretty much ground to a halt, anything we have is being given priority to try to complete 2nd doses in long term care.

I’m sorry cwille. It’s frustrating to be sure. Hopefully, things will turn around in your area.

I will say an extra prayer.

This Sunday PBS will broadcast, ‘Inside the Mind of Agatha Christie.’

I have watched the earlier episodes of this series on Agatha Christie. It’s very good.

Here is words for all of us who have a LO that just can send you right down the rabbit hole to never be found again. Whether it is someone who has dementia or a mental illness or whatever. If you feel like I do on my worst day then this might me for you!


I don't care

I try to make it
through my life, in my way there's you

I try to make
It through these lies, that's all I do.

Just don't deny it
don't try to fight this
and deal with it
that's part of it

If you were dead or still
alive, I don't care, I don't care

Just go and leave this all
behind, cuz I swear,
(I swear) I don't care

I try to make you see my side, I always try to stay in line,
but your eyes see right through,
that's all they do.

I'm getting buried in this place, I got no room your in my face,
don't say anything just go away

If you were dead or still alive, I don't care, I don't care.
Just go and leave this all behind, cuz I swear I don't care

I'm changing everything cuz you won't be there for me,
I'm changing everything cuz you won't be there for me.

(Sole)

If you were dead or still alive, I don't care, I don't care.
Just go and leave this all behind, cuz I swear,
(I swear)
I don't care.

If you were dead or still alive, I don't care (I don't care).
Just go and leave this all behind, I don't care (I swear) I don't care. at all.

I was feeling bored so I checked my horoscope for today on MSN

"Sometimes you can get a bit too isolated, so it will do you good to be out and about right now. Welcome neighbors over for lunch or spend time with friends you haven't seen in a while"

Really.
I guess that means it's fine to ignore the pandemic and stay at home orders?

cwillie: Too funny. Perhaps the author of horoscopes needs a reset for COVID-19.

I've often had the impression that one branch of healthcare doesn't have a clue what the other is doing and since the pandemic it has only gotten worse. I had a telephone appointment to discuss genetic testing and was sent a script for blood work in the mail and told to go to my local lab. The only labs available in my small town are in doctor's offices and my office (associated with the local hospital) doesn't know what to do with the blood they've drawn, they send it to a lab but apparently it needs to go to the regional hospital's genetics lab.
nurse: "Can't you have this done at their lab?"
me: "Uhm, no, covid restrictions"
nurse: "I'd hate for it to get lost"
me in my head (oh for FFF sake, can't somebody make some phone calls?)

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I just got the call from my friend who is a pharmacist.

I have an appointment this afternoon for my COVID-19 vaccine.

This woman spends every single night coordinating these vaccines. She works at an independent pharmacy. She grew tired of the large chains.

Anyway, she works all evening when she gets off coordinating the vaccines. People here place their names on several lists. If their names come up on another list first she has extra doses. She will not throw them away.

I’ve got the next one! I am so happy! Have to get ready for appointment.

Prayers requested for no reactions. 🙏 Thanks!

Did anyone see Tony Bennett’s wife speaking about her husband’s Alzheimer’s disease?

Really interesting. He knows his memory is going. His mind is perfectly normal as soon as he hears the music!

It’s absolutely amazing how music effects the brain!

I looked up the power of music on the brain with dementia and Parkinson’s disease. I saw several amazing YouTube videos on the topic.

I already told my husband if I go into a facility that I want my favorite music playing every single day!

If you get a chance look at the YouTube from Australia on this topic! I cried because it was so beautiful!

I just got my first COVID-19 shot! I have to wait for 15 minutes before leaving the pharmacy.

Next shot scheduled for next month.

I am very fortunate to have a friend that is a pharmacist to make this happen.

I am so grateful!

Our state is only vaccinating ages 70 and up at the moment but it’s kind of unorganized like everywhere else right now!

People are placing themselves on several lists, then don’t take their name off of the other lists.

My friend takes quite awhile awhile figuring out the schedule for vaccines and when she has extra she calls friends to get them. She refuses to throw them away.

Thanks, EB. It’s a relief to have the first one down. One to go!

I got Moderna which requires two doses.

I wonder when the new J and J vaccine is going to be ready. That one is only one shot!

I sent a care package to my Aunt via FedEx. It consisted of lipstick, eyebrow pencils, a box of chocolates, a Valentine's day card and her new debit card.

I was finally able to get her on the phone today. She told me that she hadn't received anything. Of course I was panicked about the bank card! Fedex tracking said it had been delivered. So I called my Aunts facility. After hours of waiting for a call back, I learned that my Aunt had in fact received the package. She just doesn't remember!!

I completely understand that it's not her fault! However, I'm not gonna lie, it stings to know that she has no comprehension of the things that I am doing for her.

I know so much of what we do as caregivers goes unnoticed and unappreciated, so I wanted to send my heart out to all of you!!
Even if only here, you are appreciated!!!

(((HUGS)))
