Update on my 12yo now that it's been more than 48 hours since her first dose: day 1, sore arm. Day 2, arm still a little sore but much better. No other side effects.

Woohoo, weekend! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!

My 12yo is also saying she just has a sore arm this morning.

My state has never had a mask mandate. My county did, but plenty of people ignored it, and the governor suspended all such local mandates recently so it's gone now. Our unvaccinated kids will continue to wear masks when indoors and when unable to distance outdoors. We will continue to have them avoid indoor things when it's possible/reasonable to do so (e.g., not dining indoors at a restaurant). So basically...nothing is changing for them. DH and I (fully vaccinated) wear masks when a business requests it, but we don't if there's not such a request. I believe the vaccine works.

Walked 2 miles with a friend.

Finally Friday! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!

I'm glad to hear it's not a chain-wide problem! DH and I had our vaccines at Publix, and it was super efficient there, so this experience at CVS was quite surprising.

I would not have an ethical problem with it. At this point, in my area of the world at least, any adult who wants to get vaccinated has had the opportunity to do so. The people I know who haven't been vaccinated don't plan to get vaccinated, or they plan to wait a while longer. I am not going to change their minds about that. My presence or absence at the event will not change their attitude toward the event or toward the vaccine. If I wanted to do it and felt safe (I understand that vaccinated people have differing levels of comfort with such things), I would do it. Exception to the abov

DD#1 got hers a couple of hours ago. I don't know if every CVS is like this, but it was not a very efficiently run site - we got there about ten minutes before her appointment time but she wasn't called back until about 45 minutes after appt time, so we were in line for 55 minutes. They said it was appointments only, so I'm thinking it wasn't planned very well. At any rate, she did get that first dose, so hooray! She's not reporting any new super powers yet (or other side effects - her arm doesn't even hurt at this point, 2 hrs post shot), but we're keeping an eye out. 😉

Did a 1-mile walk with the younger two kiddos this afternoon.

Quoting myself to say I got DD a spot at CVS for tomorrow, so we'll be doing that instead of the ped's office.

Our pediatrician's office is starting to schedule existing patients for covid vaccines! I left a message to get DD#1 on the schedule.

Good morning! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!
