We have to fly next week for my medical appointments and treatment. It makes me very anxious. The last time, despite masking rules, so many people were in violation. I received an email update from the CDC yesterday, stating that high quality N95 masks were available for free in my community. I went to the specified pharmacy to pick them up for next week’s trip, only to find that they are stiff, uncomfortable Made-in-China weird masks, and far, far to tight for a human head (unless you are an infant?). I literally cannot wear one of them, even for a few minutes, let alone for 5-6 hours. So the whole attempt to get them was a waste of time, unless I can figure out a way to refit the straps. They look nothing like what the CDC showed in their email/website. I question if they are even legitimate N95 filtration.

My 11 year old got her first vaccination shot yesterday!!!! Can we get an AMEN!? I love my school district for scheduling a vaccination event at her school. I love that she got to be vaccinated in a place she knew, with kids she knew around her. The whole time I was beaming inside. Dancing my way out of there! I love it so much. I listened to Fauci on the New York Times Podcast "The Daily" today. He is lovely as far as I am concerned. From here on out with most Americans eligible for a vaccine, unvaccinated people will be cause of future waves. I am so tired of questioning the sanity of so many people. First with Trump, then COVID, and it seems like almost everything these days. I carry a lot of blame. I blame morons who voted for Trump, I blame creepy extreme right wingers holding so much sway in our government, for the Supreme Court who will likely side with gun owners' freedom, but not the right of a woman to have - or not to have - a child. I am so tired of other people making me nuts. But - one more time...my 11-year got her first vaccination after 19 months and 10 days. 607 days! Amen.
