Yay! I am in the office today. Got here at 7:00 and realized that no one is here to open the building until 8:00 during COVID. So I used my laptop and connected to the wifi and worked in my car until security arrived. I am so excited to be in the office today. Sitting in a real chair. And I never realized how much lag there is working remotely. Everything just feels so much snappier.

I have the second COVID vaccine shot scheduled for this afternoon and hopefully it doesn't kick my butt like it has other people. My coworker got it yesterday and ended up taking today off. CEO got it last Friday and was sick all weekend. So, now I am feeling a bit anxious.

We got 18" of snow with this weeks storm. Didn't get to go snow shoeing last night, hoping to go tonight. We are expecting mixed rain/snow on Friday, then again on Sunday. So today and tomorrow are my chance.

I didn't die from shoveling snow, so that is good. I am getting vaccine so I won't die from COVID, so that is good. I have a job still, so that is good. Life IS good. Hoping things get better for everyone!

Thanks! Sometimes, I count that as success.

Just a quick follow-up on my vaccination expreince for those that are curious...

I got the shot at 4:00 on Wednesday. All was good until around 10:00. (Not sure if related or coincidental, but I was teasing my wife about something stupid and she punched me in the spot where I got the shot). Around 10:00 I started feeling feverish, which lasted until nearly 5:00 on Thursday. Fever never got very high, hung around 100, but it was enough to make me shaky and shivery. I slept as best as I could, waking up once or twice an hour then immediately falling back to sleep. Today I am just tired.

Your mileage may very.
