I got my first vaccine yesterday. It went by quickly so there was little time to worry. Queue here, queue there, sit here. There was a real nurse doing it, which comforted me and she gave me a painless jab. I was able to calm my breath and I read the ingredients from the information sheet and did not look. This is a better strategy, clearly. It didn't hurt at all though now my arm is sore. The best part was that we went to the South End and got coffee at Flour. A beautiful day. I Can See Clearly Now that we've moved to Brookline and across the Rea Sea and I've had my shot. One more to come but at least now I probably won't die of COVID-19.

Honey's play, Twelfth Night, opened last night. She starred as Viola. Truly the best actor of the lot, performing, even on zoom, with feeling and using her face. I think it was good casting because as the most animated and comfortable with the show, it's understandable that people would be attracted to her.

A fine and sunny day. I'm going out to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir before heading to Blackers for challah. I'm not feeling ill from the vaccine, but DH had his second so we'll see how he feels later. Birthday coming soon!

Lovely warm day. I took a bike ride out and around Jamaica Pond. I remember when that was a stretch for me. Biking is good because it gets my heart rate up. I'm sure there will be many more days of walking in the chilly damp of spring, but it was great to get out on the bike. I can almost throw my leg over without much effort. The surgery seems recent but it was almost six months ago.

Things are improving on the vaccine front. Spouse has his appointment next week. I signed up to be in the queue. But I also ordered a new mask for spring, so it goes on.

I watched two more episodes of IMDY and there were some pleasant turns. Still challenging to watch before bed though! Only two more to go.

The weekend looms. Should be better than last week. Wish I found a room behind the mirror. There are crocuses in the backyard. Daffodils soon. I remember this from last spring, the earth pours forth her bounty though we mourn.

There is a lot of year in review bullshit out there. I wrote "It's hard to look back when you're drowning. More worried about the sharks than the shore". This isn't over, we're still in the middle of the storm. Still in fear and trauma.
