Five more days until I’m fully vaccinated (two weeks after my second shot). My husband gets his second shot on Wednesday. And our roommate got his one and done Johnson & Johnson shot a week ago, so he’s fully vaccinated next Friday. The kiddo won’t get his turn for a while yet, but the rest…
Ahem. As is probably clear by the title of this post, I GOT MY SECOND COVID SHOT on Wednesday afternoon. At 3:51pm, because Rite Aid picks odd times for appointments, because why not, I suppose? I am verrrrry tired (napped at 10:30am today - Thursday), so I almost didn't write this week's post. But like…
It's April! And thankfully, by the time of this posting, April Fool's is done, because it's definitely up there on my least favorite holidays list (along with Valentine's Day). In other good news, my husband got his first COVID shot this week! The state opened up vaccinations to the construction industry, and I was able…
We're in the final stretch of the month of March, and it's definitely sped by in way that March 2020 did not. We're still deep in pandemic life, but it's better than last year. We know more of how to see people safely (outside, masked up), and that makes a huge difference for me. March…
It's Thursday night, and I got my first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine yesterday. I'm about 24 hours past the shot, and I'm pretty dang sleepy (I slept in until 8:45am this morning!), but otherwise very, very thankful to be on my way to being fully vaccinated. After helping assist 200+ people schedule their…
Thursday night, President Biden gave a speech commemorating the official year mark of the pandemic in the United States. We might have already been in it a few weeks here in Kirkland by that point, but this time a year ago, people were starting to realize things were going to be really different, and really…
We went on on an actual vacation! We headed out to the Olympic Coast Thursday morning for a long weekend, which was so needed and so wonderful. The last time we spent a night away from our house was the beginning of October when we went camping in Lynden, which was five months ago. Before…
Well, it’s happened. Week 52. The final week of the first year since COVID-19 descended on my city. Since and before then, it’s spread all over the world, and the United States alone has seen over half a million people die. I tend to be nice about most things, but if you refuse to wear…
This week, we celebrated Ash Wednesday from our computers, just like we celebrated Epiphany, Christmas, Easter, and every other church service over the last year. I am so grateful for my church putting people’s safety first and keeping us fully remote, but it was hard to be remote this week. It was especially hard because…
After a month of counting weeks differently thanks to my birthday, the new year, and the intense weeks we lived through in January, it's time to go back to counting the weeks by COVID, since we are about to hit the one year mark. Going back and reading my first few weeks living with COVID…
