Uno Dose

It was a big day for hubby and me. Not only have we survived 385 days in wedded lockdown (sort of), it was also Day 1 of fighting. Not each other, but fighting back against this pandemic. We celebrated with a date at the drive-in.

More like a drive-thru.

Here we are waiting at the airport to drive in...

When it was our turn, we got to drive into the magical building of sharp needles on a mission!

Honestly, I didn't even feel the shot. We got the Moderna vaccine and will get the second shot in 4 weeks.

We're pretty excited to the first dose out of the way. That's one step closer to possible normalcy. And one step closer way sooner than we imagined.

And we're not special. We're just two people in the 18-64 age group who got called up, so to speak. Now granted, we were on this specific list because they were allowing us through the school since we've got a coach and full-time volunteer in the house.

But we had signed up online through one of local pharmacies (Hometown Pharmacy) and our county health department. Last week, we got calls from both that our names were next on the list. So we would've had them by today anyway.

So my PSA (pandemic service announcement) for the day is GET YOURSELF SIGNED UP SOMEWHERE! Seriously, when they have extra doses, they don't want them to go to waste. They'll call whoever's next and you just need to be ready to go!

The sooner we all do this, the better, in my opinion. Plus you can sign up both you and your soul mate and make a date out of it. So far – knock on wood – a painless one with no regrets!
