spring is here and for the most part, i've been well and able to keep up with my own expectations again! though i did fall a bit behind this last week, as ren had a surgery to remove two bad teeth and alph was bit by a mastiff on his route aaaand i got my second shot of moderna which absolutely -flattened- me for a day. like, the nausea wasn't as bad as chemo but it was honestly very close.

i also have family saying they'd like to visit later this month, and i'll be without power all saturday this week as an electrician updates stuff on the house.

i'm relieved to be vaccinated now though. i don't have to worry if other peoples' masks are being worn properly, and while the risk of me being a carrier still exists for others i'm now less likely. and as bad as moderna jab 2 was, it was only a day. and it didn't really seem to sicken alph at all, so ymmv. please get vaccinated.

the sooner youre vaccinated, the sooner we'll all be hanging out in person again.

hang in there yall. the future is dependant on you caring about others as well as taking care of yourself. if you cant do both, its gonna be hard. if you refuse to do both, youre goin backwards my friend.
