Wheels are in motion.
Some of the people most important to me have received their first dose of a COVID vaccine: my parents, my in-laws, Cherished Friend. The rest of us are doing what we can to get into one line or another to try to get the vaccine ourselves. As I was told by a doctor during a telemedicine visit this week, it's a lot like trying to score concert tickets online. Yes, it is. I want that ticket. I NEED that ticket.
It's hard to be patient, but I know that other people's needs are greater than mine -- especially in our medical communities, which are so exhausted. At the beginning of another telemedicine visit this week, when I asked the doctor how he was, he replied with a little sigh, oh, trying not to die of COVID. The poor man. My heart. It didn't even occur to me until later that he might have been making a literal comment, rather than just one about the state of the world in which we currently live. Universe, have mercy on this man.
I will only begin to rest easier when the Offspring, Beloved Husband, and I are all vaccinated as well. Hopefully, soon.
Soon is relative.
Someday, though, we'll be able to more safely venture into the world again.
