Thanks Shedunto (teehee) for setting me straight on Texas. The guy I was talking to is a bit of a Trumpster and def spinning it. What an ass that Governor is.
So, I have an appointment for my vaccine. I phoned the instant my age group was announced and I still didn't get one for two and half weeks. My friend phoned later than me by about an hour to an hour and a half got an appointment for three or four days later. They keep us in the dark so much of the time. I know my sister doesn't think so but I still feel we really aren't hearing the nitty gritty stuff. At least not the stuff I want to know.
Anyway I do have an appointment now. So by the middle of May I will be immune...to a point. Monte will be safe by April 21st. So I am happy.
On the Wrangler front we have a new dog. Monte took him to the vet and she said all his joints are super hurting. She ran some blood tests. And the good news is he has the organs of a teenager! She said he is in amazingly good shape, it's just his joints. He will have to be on pain meds forever now. So we started a couple of days ago and he is happy and bouncy...like we haven't seen him in a long time.
Apparently though he has to lose ten pounds. I hate it when the house dog is on a diet...they aren't happy, always looking for food, getting into the garbage, something they never normally do when they get lots of food. He constantly comes over to me in my chair and lays his head on my lap and gazes imploringly, or rather hungrily, up at me. This is worse than Molly was!
Other than that he is bouncy and playing with his 'baby' running around. And this is dangerous. He is quite blind, is constantly tripping over stuff, banging his head on everything. I see we are going to have to go into Molly mode and clear the place out for him. He still has trouble getting up from lying down and he still goes down with a hell of a thump. He can't do it slowly.
So, covid. I don't really feel like talking about it anymore. I am so tired of all the ins and outs. It all seems impossible. We are getting up to approximately 1200 new cases per day now. People are not obeying the rules. All those hundreds of 'little' exceptions add up. Makes Monte and I feel kind of stupid. Here we are not even going into stores, certainly not going anywhere, not letting anyone into the house, just to see and hear of people just visiting their family over there, or heading to a ski resort for a little needed fun, or visiting the neighbour.....it's really annoying and disheartening.
Like I said I got through and made my appointment. It was easy peasy but it still took some time. Everything seems to move in slow motion. Now that pretty much all of the older generation is vaccinated, the deaths and sick have moved into the younger generation. I guess the hospitals have filled up with whole families and a lot of twenty plus year olds. Other than getting covid at work, shame on those that pick it up in the community. Stay home people...Bonnie Henry has been saying this for some time now. Just stay home. It may not be that pleasant but it's what needs to be done. It's just not that hard. And stop making little exceptions here and there, no matter how tempting. Okay this has turned into a lecture so I shall stop now.
This is a very lame post. My apologies. Things are happening in this house at the moment so I have to go. I shall post about it next time. I will leave a hint. Stay safe, noodle and chat an oldster. TTYL
a haiku....I will explain next post.
