I got my booster shot at a special event put on by a private doctor in the city. I attended one of her events in the Summer so i was eligible for this one, which is really lucky as others are booking their booster shots into February up here.

The events don't run as smoothly as the city clinics tho. Despite booking appointments there was a 90 minute wait in the Summer and an hour's wait today out in the cold. I bundled up warm in the gear that i collected for taking my dog out and was relatively comfortable.

I saw people who were not nearly dressed sufficiently, with bare heads, clutching their cold ears. I had on a knitted hat lined with thick fleece and my enormous parka hood and i don't care if i looked like a lunatic, at least i was relatively comfortable.

I held up surprisingly well. I was worried about standing for a long time but my weight has exceeded the rating for my portable camp chair and portable stool so i just went and stood and hoped for the best.

I didn't feel any pain from standing for an hour. It's nice to know i can stand for a decent amount of time. Indeed, it was my cold feet that were the worst bother and my boots are expensive sturdy utilitarian boots so i was disappointed in them.

So i am glad to have that over with and feel a little more confident about the future with Omicron circulating. I had hoped for a tremendous surge of pleasure and pride in getting this ordeal over with as i have been staying inside for a week or ten days but instead i just feel mild relief. Oh well.

That's depression for you. Almost no one on Earth is feeling good at the moment tho so at least i am in good company!
