With a caveat I hope. If a store or restaurant requires a mask, I'm going to wear one out of respect. There are still more who haven't been vaccinated than not. Once the numbers reach critical mass and the recommendation has changed to no longer needing a mask, then I'll lose the mask.

I have enjoyed not going to restaurants this past year. Plus I have saved quite a bit of money no longer eating out and have lost weight as a result.

That much demand or that little vaccine?

It's a highly populated, progressive area.

Well, today was rougher for me than last night, some generalized malaise, body aches/chills, nausea, etc. Still 100% worth it knowing that I've been able to get both doses. And I will keep wearing masks in public.

It's a 5 week wait in my area. Those of you who can just go and get it are very fortunate.

I was really shocked I got in only the second day I started checking.

I am not anticipating a reaction but my friend who is an RN says she hasn't heard of anyone not having reactions after the second dose. So, greaaattt. But I don't expect to have greater peace of mind, I just want to get it over with.

Not me. I've got the COVID 19. At least.

My dad didn't have anything after his second dose. He went to work the next day with no problem.

Scheduled my first shot for the 25th today. Since I've had covid I'm wondering if I'll see symptoms with the first shot. My wife got it between shots and had 24 hours of symptoms after she got her 2nd shot. I expect I'll have some with my first.

I was probably one of the first to get vaccinated. But I’m still wearing a mask out and about. Why? Because we still have local laws mandating it, and I’m doing it so that the majority (unvaccinated) continue to see where masking as a good idea. It’s essentially for show and to be a good citizen. But I’ll probably ditch the mask when local mandates change.

Very good to know. It's always been the reason I never got a flu shot. Mine's on a Friday anyway so I'd have the weekend if I do feel bad so it'll be okay.

Same
Although I seem to cook expensive things.

Indeed. Same here. I do pick up orders every now and then. I actually prefer eating at home anyway, mostly.

And I don't have to shave!

I’m averaging once every 2 weeks.

I’m averaging once every 2 weeks.

When I worked in the office, I shaved daily. Now, probably once every 7-10 days. My beard is fugly so I can't grow a proper one. Once I get to 10 days, it just bugs me too much and I go ahead and get it done.

I have a light beard and it mostly grows in white these days so I don’t worry about it.
