Thanks, Tupp.
Nope, the poet friend he dissed was an older long-time mentor in another city, where I went to school (under- and grad-). This poet he's very fond of (largely because her parents were famous academics he revered) but he hasn't seen her poems. And I'd never show him any....
Things do feel a lot less compulsive with M. I'm relieved. And he still might drop by some ice cream. (He asked if I needed anything to tell him, repeating it five times, so I decided I "need" Cherries Garcia. Haven't had ice cream in forever.)
Yes, in two weeks I will be comfortable having others in my house (only those I know have been fully vaccinated including two doses for some brands and then have waited two weeks afterward). But that's still HUGE! Otherwise, nothing changes yet as to public behavior, masking, distancing, etc. One thing is that I'll revert to those simpler paper masks in public. The N95s nearly suffocated me and trigger SOB.
The timing with spring is really nice, though any time is good to feel a first step.

I'm picturing you in the sunshine, Hops. Smiling. Feeling free. Happy.
Congrats I'm in your second jab; )

Thanks, Lighter.
We only stood in line for two hours this time.
I think I told the saga of two weeks ago (Jab One). People shared a link for appts they weren't supposed to share, so 1700 people showed up for 400 slots. Most of them did have appts. They turned back, apologizing, those under 65 and the rest of us waited 4 hours in line.
Yesterday was much better, the National Guard really helped and the actual vaccinating was done extremely efficiently. But they'd re-booked all the OVER-numbers that appeared two weeks ago for yesterday, so had the same crowd!
Fortunately my appt was earlier in the day this time, so not so bad at all. Gorgeous weather and people getting to know each other in line was fun.
Hope you can get jabbed soon, Lighter. Hope EVERYONE soon will. It's coming.
hugs
Hops

Everyone needs ice cream, Hopsie! It's a very basic human essential; we get ours from a local dairy and oh my days, it's delicious. I have to limit myself to a small scoop as a treat every now and again because I could easily eat a tub of the stuff lol. And then the empty tub becomes a bird bath! Perfect all round. I'm glad the tie to M has loosened a bit and imagine how lovely it will be to have friends round again! Astonishing. I'm glad the second jab went well. We have been so lucky with the way ours have been orgnanised - I took son yesterday for his, we got there bang on time, straight in, jab done, he got a well done sticker! I told the nurse I hadn't been given a sticker when I had mine done and she laughed and said neither had she and she wanted one, too :) So efficiently done, how lucky are we all that science can do this and make it possible for us to get on with our lives? I'm looking forward to reading about your first soiree! I hope it's an ice cream party :) xx
