Would like to emulate my grandmother...

...and take to my bed for the rest of my life. Only she had servants and I do not.

Eh well, got to the drugstore for Benadryl and Gravol so I'm fortified against some of the side effects of the covid shot, if and when. Still not champing at the bit to get it because if it makes everything that usually aches ache worse, then I shall be completely immobilized, given how immobilized I am now. A bit better after an acupuncture session but still remarkably owie in both muscles and joints. I'm inclined to wait for a less debilitating month than April, frankly. Even if the allergies are, as last year, muted by indoors and masks, allergies are still happening and my system is registering them at some level.

Also got to the dollar store which didn't have the kind of slippers I wanted or the strength of reading glasses I wanted but did have underwear which might fit. I have enough underwear in the ordinary way of things ie if I can do laundry, but won't have enough if I'm unable to do laundry for a month. But that's thinking very far ahead at this point.

Also however missing brace turns up on the downstairs sofa, so that's ok.

Whatever the aches (and I do realise I’m speaking from the perspective of the less-aching here) I really would advise getting the jab/s as soon as possible.

Very glad the brace turned up.

Is it like our own UK policy, where they're delaying the second shot as long as possible in order to get the first shot to as many people as they can?

(My parents are expecting their second shot within the next couple of weeks. As a person who's below 50 with no significant relevant comorbidities, I can only wait for my first shot...)

Yes, still working from home, and doing so for at least the next few months by the look of it - our bosses have said that we can come into work if absolutely necessary, but they'd prefer us to work from home. It feels weird to think that we've been doing it for a year now.

I'm currently hoping that the "shops reopening" on Monday 12th April won't cause another huge surge and lockdown. But I do very much want to go into a shop for something other than the bare necessities...

Same here. Mask and distance.

It could be worse. But when one's having to say "it could be worse", it's never really good.

Nicely put.
