Yes, another person I know was scheduled to get her Covid-19 shot today. The way things are going, I'll be among the last of the people I know to get the shots I need to start living a "normal" life again.

It seems as if every time I chat with TCL, and I make a mildly negative comment about something (though I'm doing well) she asks why I am complaining? To give you an example of this, I made a negative comment on the paperwork my brother and I will need to fill out to claim some of the money left in my dad's estate. When I made the comment, I was thinking of my dad, wishing he was still with us and that the money was still his. She focused on the paperwork as being a small price I would pay to have some more money in my bank account, so I shouldn't complain about paperwork. The reality is, most of us complain a little about the minor inconveniences we have to deal with in life. If these were big problems, most of us would act upon them as best we could. Minor complaints seem to be the way we try to make ourselves a little bit more comfortable while dealing with the little bumps along life's journey.
In my case, I have a minor item to "complain" about today. Since my friend had her Covid-19 shot scheduled for today, it got in the way of me seeing her. Kvetch, Kvetch, Kvetch.... Not seeing her today may be a form of a blessing, as we were thinking of walking around Chinatown a little bit. Did I really want to bring my car into Lower Manhattan? Not really. But I would have thought about doing so to have some time with her.
If I had known what this day would be like, I'd have considered going out as Marian. But today ended up being a Mario day. Could I change into Marian? Yes. But I might as well do a load or two of laundry and relax for a while before going out again....
