I like the aberrant literalism of today’s xkcd.
I also like being able to say that Elaine and I will be two weeks past our second dose of the Moderna vaccine in two weeks. Moderna: aka the Bodyslammer, the Sledge. The second shot has knocked me for several loops. I’d ask Elaine how she’s doing, but she’s asleep — see? After the vaccine’s side effects wear off, we should have ample time to practice our basic conversational skills before putting ourselves back into circulation.
Thanks to science and medicine and all those working therein, without which — I don’t want to think about it.

[The mouseover text: “You still can’t walk into someone’s house without being invited!” “What? Oh, I see your confusion. No, this vaccine is for a bat VIRUS. I’m fine with doorways and garlic and stuff.” The alternative Moderna names are my coinages. They fit.]

I’ll be on your doorstep in two weeks—I got my shot today too.
And came home and slept like a log for 3 hours.
Got up m, had dinner, going back to bed now.
Xo to you and Elaine—Fresca
Hey, congrats!
We got our first Pfizer shots on Monday, and experienced considerable fatigue for a couple days after. Our second shots are scheduled for August, four months later, which is the norm here in Ontario. The 3rd wave is out of control, so with limited supplies, the idea is to get first shots into as many as want them before moving on to 2nds, so visits are still awhile in the future.
Stay safe in Ontario, Jim.
Remember you're 95% protected at best and that's for the "vanilla" covid not the variants. . .
Yes, absolutely.
And if you drop in on random households, wear a mask. : )
