I don't have the heart for a long, sad poem this evening for PAD Challenge, Day 10 so haiku it is!
birds chirping in tree cat chattering, creeping near... disappointment: flight! (Penelope really thought she was gonna catch one of 'em earlier, but it was not to be!) |

Instead of a sad poem, I think instead I will make a list of what I am grateful for.

So H and I went to the ER last night. He told the ER doctor that his chest had been bothering him for about a month. News to me! Thankfully all of the basic tests came back normal, but the doctor did recommend that he see a cardiologist for possibly a stress test.
Artie, I understand the allure of a program like that, but I would be very cautious.

Found an organization nearby that offers free support groups for victims of crime and abuse. They offer many other services such as domestic violence, crime and abuse advocates for all age groups as well as a 24 hour crisis line.
Two groups I might be interested in are “survivors of sexual assault support group” and “Boundaries support group.” Also, the open and closed groups for domestic violence are possibilities: The description says “This group is an especially good fit for adults who are survivors of childhood abuse, multiple abusive relationships, and issues related to low self-esteem.” The website doesn’t say how they are handling Covid restrictions. I feel it’s worth a few questions. T is fine with it. I would still be seeing her. |

Wentto bed earlyish and I woke up from a nightmare in which I ate something with gluten and knew I was going to get sick. Now I’m awake and worrying about getting sick still.
I think I’ll run my building’s back stairs till I calm down. |

I am getting more and more irritated at places that want to make you use hand sanitizer before doing anything. Covid is not spread by hands. I despise senseless acts and I hate putting that stuff on my hands - I hate the way it feels and smells and is sticky. I usually just leave because there isn't any reason I have to go in but the idiocy of it irritates me. Sometimes I just pretend to use it like at the vaccination center (gym of my university - where they should know that it is stupid because it was the idiots at the nursing school doing it. And the student nurse who did mine was patronizing and told me I "did great" - I snarled back not to patronize clients). Theatre of pandemic for sure. After the first shot, the woman told me "congratulations" - I was like wtf? What is wrong with these people?

I wasn’t congratulated after either shot. There was nothing to congratulate me on. I sat there and got a shot.

I wasn't congratulated either. And also don't get why I would be. I also don't get why people are posting pictures of their vaccine cards on facebook.

In old Western movies, arent people always spitting on their hands before doing something? The way SD described using the hand sanitizer, it triggered something. Plus im watching Dodge City (1939, colorized). I'll watch for it!

I don't spit in my hands. I don't usually spit anywhere.
The only reason I can think of for the congratulations is that the morally bereft governor of the state I live in made it more difficult for people in cities to get it and sent all of the vaccine to the counties where he got the most votes rather than evenly spread out throughout the state. I was driving eligible friends two and three hours away to get their shots __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

our county's cases have been steadily decreasing since mid-January, since people started getting vaccinated I guess. But in my state overall, they've started creeping up again. Still way, way down since January, but even a slight increase in cases is too many. Probably spring break related, not sure? I saw on the news yesterday that forest rangers broke up an illegal 5,000 person gathering in a national park recently - probably contributed.

Isn’t spitting on your hands supposed to give you a better grip? As for the congratulations, I think it’s “congratulations, now you probably don’t have to worry about getting covid.” |

You can buy the blank cards on ebay and etsy. They are not identification cards.
And I really haven't been all that concerned about catching it so congratulating me for that is even more ridiculous than congratulations you got one of the doses the evil governor finally released to your city. I am even gladder to be old now than I was (and I was pretty happy about it to begin with). Crappy half-assed propaganda and cheerleaders annoy the bejesus out of me. I have several plans to avoid being placed in a nursing home against my will but if that fails, I will be one of the old ladies trying run down the irritating staff with my wheel chair and refusing to play jelly bean bingo for the chipper social worker students who want to be do-gooders. I hate them most of all. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

For my second shot on Friday, I had an appointment at 1:15 so I showed up at 1. I had to stand in line for an hour. (I only had to stand in line 10, maybe 15, minutes for the first shot.)
At around the 40 minute mark, I started getting tears in my eyes. My back just hurt so very much! The pain never started going down my leg, so I guess that was good, but it was very bad. When I finally got to sit down in a chair, I just started crying and asked for some tissues. Which of course They Don't Have. One of the techs had some in her purse. Anyway, my leg was shaking and they were offering me Advil and Aleve, which I can't take, so I politely declined. I said I'd take a muscle relaxant when I got home and I'd be fine. They said I should have spoken up...To who? There was no one to speak up to, in the middle of this long line! Anyway, I got my shot and played with my phone for 15 minutes and ran through the rain towards my car. I had to stop short at the edge of a driveway because a county vehicle was hot rodding it out of there, and didn't want to stop for a pedestrian, but I made it home safe in the end. I got a button that says something about vaccinations on it. Whoppee? I used to stand while teaching but that ended a year or two before COVID. I just couldn't do it anymore; it hurt my back too much. I might have to buy one of those canes that turns into a small seat for traveling, for when lines are unavoidable. That makes me feel old. I'm only 48, darnit! Thanks for listening!

My mum with demetia kept excaping the nursing home and going to the train station they even bought a security bracelet and installed a security system but she kept taking the bracelet off. Eventually they just assigned a nurse to watch her 24/7
