Fuck me. Chicago can’t miss a St. Pat’s. People in groups are already out, walking the streets without masks and waiting in lines to get into bars. Idiots.
I just got my first shot! The waiting list I got onto yesterday was 4 pages long, but they called me today right before 5 and I hauled ass down here. Sitting in the observation now. I’m so excited. My husband came in with me and is now on the list.
Meanwhile my fucking parents still don’t have an appointment. Their friends in the same town got theirs though. Hmm. I would have put them on this waiting list but they’re not in this health system.
Kate, I see appointments at Walgreenses in MA all the time, including right now, so they may want to monitor that vaxxmax site.
Got the J&J vaccine yesterday. Thought it was going to be the first shot of Moderna whether I made the appointment, but when I got there it was J&J. At this point, since I’m surrounded by idiots, I’m just happy to be vaccinated.
Yay, my mom just texted me that she got a call from a woman who will book them both at Foxboro stadium. My mom asked if she could also book my brother (48, obesity, definitely breathing problems but idk what’s been diagnosed) and she said yes, she’ll book all three of them. That’s a weight off my mind!
ETA, she can’t book my brother because he doesn’t have a verified second comorbidity. But she will book both my parents. This lady isn’t from the state site, she’s a volunteer who trained other volunteers how to book appointments for people. My mom got her number from her friend down the street who got her shot through this woman.
Phew!!!
Drew got his second dose of Pfizer on Friday. No side effects except a sore arm. I think he felt more fatigue after the first one than than the second. I get my second dose this week.
We had dinner with a friend last night who’s been vaccinated since December because he works for a hospital. He said with his second dose he was having crazy stroke-like symptoms but he just kind of crashed and woke up fine.
Because he was coming over, I was kind of dressed up and wearing a one-shoulder top that exposed my whole left arm. And that’s when they called me. So all I had to do was sit down and the guy could stab me. I felt so prepared!!
