I’ve finally gotten around to reading this article from five months ago. Why did it take me so long?
“As we age, it’s harder to have a get-up-and-go attitude toward things,” says Ann Graybiel, an Institute Professor at MIT and member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research.
I’m feeling some side effects from the J&J vaccine. I went to bed at midnight and didn’t get up until 10. In the middle of the night I woke up shivering, and today I have that vague “I must be coming down down with something” feeling. It’s Sleepytime tea time, then back to bed for me.
Well, it’s done. I’ve received the “one and done” dose of the J&J vaccine. I hope this unexpected side effect doesn’t last more than four hours! 😉
I have been informed that my 2020 taxes are done. Having prepared my own returns since I was 16, I am for the first time ever using an accounting firm for my personal taxes.
The time seemed right to let someone else prepare my returns, after a good experience with a CPA in Arizona, who handled the Trust taxes after my father died. Combined with some bad experiences with Intuit, the parent of TurboTax.
Today I will be getting a shot in the arm, by invitation of Massachusetts General Hospital. AFAIK it will be the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Getting an appointment for a Covin-19 vaccination in Massachusetts has been a nightmare. Last week the online registration system crashed completely. Today had only an occasional application error, and despite having a good spot in the virtual waiting room I wasn’t able to get an appointment at Tom Brady’s former playground, Gillette Stadium. The problem is simply there isn’t enough vaccine available yet.
I’ll try again next week, but at least I snagged a pair of tickets at Gillette for Springsteen’s upcoming Tequila Road Tour. 😉
The year got off to a good start, right on New Year’s Day. But then came the rioters at the Capitol building, and now my nephew’s sudden death, that I’ll never be able to get over.
I have a couple of pleasant prospects coming up. Here’s hoping they turn out well.
