I got my first shot of the vaccine today! At the end of the day volunteering at the vaccine clinic today there were enough extra doses for all of the volunteers who hadn't gotten their first doses yet. It was so exciting, especially that all of us got to be vaccinated together. We've been volunteering together for several weeks now, and for many of us it's pretty much the only in-person interaction we have with people we don't live with. It's been great to get to know everyone as we've worked together every week, and volunteering has been fun and really rewarding. It was just a terrific end to a long but good day.

Right now I’m avoiding speaking to my parents. I’m so mad that my mom is not taking her Covid exposure more seriously and doing more to protect her and my dad’s health that I’m worried about what I will say and where the conversation might go. If they get it, and they get really sick, it will take time to make arrangements for someone to take care of my daughter so that I can go (drive 2 days? Risk flying????) visit them or take care of them. Worst case scenario, I don’t want our last words before intubation (or worse.....) to be us yelling at each other. I guess I don’t know if not having any last words at all would make me feel better. I hope I don’t have to find out.
