Immunized

[dr_tectonic]

As of today, I am officially fully immunized against SARS-CoV-2.

I'm still working from home (and will be for a while yet), and I'm still wearing a mask in public (because we don't yet know whether being immunized prevents you from being an asymptomatic carrier), but last night I went grocery shopping and just... didn't care about how many other people were in the store and whether they were staying away from me, and that was a huge relief. Not feeling like I needed to be vigilant the whole time was really nice. I am looking forward to switching back to shopping based on convenience rather than when the stores are mostly empty.

Jerry is still only a few days after his second shot, so we're not yet attempting to socialize with people again, but we are making lists of things to do.

I think I'm going to go see a movie this week - Scott Pilgrim is back in the theaters.

I feel like the last few weeks have been busy, but I struggle to come up with anything to report. I think it's mostly that I ticked off a bunch of tasks that had been looming for work, like submitting revisions for one paper and finishing all my contributions for another. Still haven't finished my taxes, though.

Oh, and I made some D&D 5e fan content about tieflings. But I think I'll put that into a separate post.

I'm looking forward to mid may where my two weeks after last shot are up. We'll be starting to more generally socialize with our other immunized friends, and I think that will relieve me of a lot of my stress.

Our hobby means unfortunately we're likely to end up socializing with a lot of unvaccinated folk. It still fills me with angst.

Can I ask what hobby it is?

I want to see Scott Pilgrim but I'm not shot enough yet. Second shot tomorrow, then waiting for it to do its stuff.

Oh shit taxes.

It's getting extended, so maybe you'll still get to!

Seeing movies and weekend travel are the two things I miss the most! And I was telling Jerry that every time I go to HMart I see the new Bad Axe place, so doing that again has become a bit of a fixation. :P

More axe-throwing is one of the things on our to-do list!

Then I'm dragging you two with me. ;)

Congrats on getting your 2nd shot. It's a great feeling to know that is done and, once the two weeks are up, you guys will feel almost invulnerable (or normal).

I'm starting to feel much more normal already, and it's very nice.
