How tenderly the melody keeps me hanging on
I had not expected to be shot in the shoulder this afternoon, but since I was right there with
spatch for his latest jab against COVID-19, the staff of the Theatre Pharmacy offered me the same and I filled out the paperwork immediately. I had not brought my vaccine card, but was kindly sent home with a little sticker to keep my records up to date. The ability to purchase and eat a caramel bull's-eye after a minor medical procedure feels very old-school. My mother fed us tom kha gai and chicken satay and massaman curry and khao tom mad for antibody-building sustenance and Rob took a picture of me with his eyes closed. My plan for the rest of the evening is to lie on the couch and wait for my arm to fall off.

My grandparents used to keep them in a glass jar in the kitchen, along with the strawberry candies whose foil wrap looks like a strawberry itself.
I had my flu shot this week so solidarity! Had my 7th COVID booster a while back, I'm in a study.
Oh, neat! May I ask what kind? This shot was my eighth, but my excuse is medical reasons. Godspeed your flu antibodies.

I have not had Covid yet and hope never to, despite interest well and truly dying

down public and government wise here in Western Australia.
Same, and, honestly, same. Our government just stopped issuing the free monthly tests that had been such a lifeline and the CDC has declared it's just fine to test positive for COVID and walk freely among the public so long as you're not running a fever. We are trying very hard to stay safe. I wish you the best of luck.
This is the study.
I think it's so cool that you can participate in a project like that.
