A message from the University of MN President acknowledging we've been doing this for 2 years.

I was standing in line for a Rapid test last week, and while looking around at the carefully placed dots 6 feet apart, the National Guardsmen checking people in and administering tests, traffic cones guiding the flow of traffic, the sanitizer stations and double-masks, I was really struck with how normalized this surreal situation is. Remember when we thought we'd be working from home for like, 2 weeks max? Like, people for real said the Covid fear was an overreaction and everything would be fine soon.



It really made me loop back like, I have almost no documentation of what Covid Times are like, because it's just so a part of everyday life now. We have a concert that has been rescheduled 3 times, in Chicago for Final Fantasy VII Remake, and apparently it's still happening in early Feb. Coordinating Rapid tests and navigating requests for isolation periods to not expose Sean right before her Actuary exams, negotiating masking and distancing based on comfort levels. All just so wild.

Vaccine

I got my 2nd dose of Pfizer on Saturday morning. It was itchy at first, like the first one, and then just like the first one, for a half-hour or so I was a bit "off" — not quite dizzy but definitely a bit woobly. 


I didn't start getting any noticeable symptoms until I went to bed — I started feeling like I do when I drink and then don't drink enough water before going to bed. Waking up constantly, a little confused and disoriented, hot and headachy. In the morning on Sunday I took Tylenol because my head was an actual helmet of pain, but that worked quickly and I was able to go about my normal activities.


Monday late morning I started feeling achey — but not in my muscles — in my bones and teeth, like when I was severely vitamin deficient. The hangover feeling returned, so I took more Tylenol. I was good the rest of the day. I kind of expected I'd have really mild symptoms, but you never know!


Steve has his 2nd dose on Friday, so we'll see how it affects him this weekend!

Just wanted to document for posterity that in the last two weeks I have had TWO dreams involving wearing masks. 


One of the dreams the masks were just there because we were outside, and the other one there was a kerfuffle about people NOT wearing/forgetting their masks.


Fascinating.



Zoom

I'm the weirdo creep that takes screenshots of people during Zoom meetings.

I do it a lot more than I realized. I just find people so fascinating and I want to capture a candid facial expression or document a funny background.

I don't like, share it or ever tell the person (I would never want to make someone feel bad because it's always in love or humor). I'm just a weirdo creep.

If you Zoom with me, beware XD
