You helped, thanks!

This is what I like about blogging. I asked for help and I got it. I appreciate it. It was varied, like my readers. There was an excellent mixture with suggestions on how to best implement a ‘diet’ or healthier eating. 

There were suggestions on TTWD and whether or not to try to restart it for all this. And if I did choose to incorporate it, how it might work to help me achieve goals. Mixed in with all that were a few gentle kicks in the butt to get myself started with whatever I chose to do.

 

I received emails from a few people who took the time to give detailed. That helped. Details help me. It felt like people cared and that was a big boost. That definitely made me want to get started doing something.

 

I did take a big step toward good health by getting my first vaccine this past week. My county, a county I rarely brag about, has done very well with the vaccine roll out. I showed up one afternoon and asked if I could get my name on a list they might call if there were any doses left late in the afternoon. I told them I could be there in about fifteen minutes. She gave me a number to call and leave that message. I didn’t know how long it would take, or if I would ever hear back.

The next day around 3:30 I got a call asking me if I could be there at 4:00. I said, ‘You bet!  All I have to do was throw on a bra.’ The woman laughed and, ‘We don’t care about that, wear one or don’t you’ll be welcome either way.’ I walked in, they asked my name and pointed to a nurse. I got the vaccine, Moderna, and had to wait for fifteen minutes. Then they gave me an appointment for the second shot for later this month and it was all over except for the sore arm the next day.

 

I  feel safer already. All the people I usually visit with, friends and family, have all been vaccinated now. I’m not ready to run through the streets kissing strangers, but I will feel like I can go to a restaurant, with limited seating for dinner a little after that second dose. Now when LJ and Collin can get theirs, I’ll be even happier! Hope everyone who wants one can get theirs soon.
