I had an appointment for tomorrow morning to receive my first shot of the Covid vaccine. Last night I got a text from my provider that the vaccine is not available for my appointment, so it has been rescheduled for next Sunday, Feb. 28. My original appointment was for Saturday, Feb. 13. They called me Wednesday, Feb. 10 to tell me that it wasn't available for that appointment, and rescheduled me for Saturday, Feb. 20. Mind you, I have been eligible to receive the vaccine for over a month now, as I am 69 years old with severe asthma. So I wait at home for my next chance at vaccine roulette. This is so frustrating! But, at least I can stay home and wait. Both of my children married teachers, who have been ordered to return to work in March, but cannot get vaccinated until July as they are under 50. If I could, I would forgo my vaccination (both doses) to give it to them! This all just sux so badly! Where the f**k is all the vaccine doses going? To assholes like Ted Cruz, that's where. I'm done here.

(9,952 posts)It has been a year of isolation. What is in a week.
So, what part of Texas? I too have been counting my blessings in now living in very blue Oregon. Actually Or isn't that blue but I am in Eugene and that is. I was surprised seeing it voted red consistently before the 90's I believe. Not this rw'ers have lost the state for the most part and they are really pissed about it. The keep blaming people like me that moved here.

(3,414 posts)for about 10 years. When my daughter and her family moved from there to the Tacoma area in 2015, I sold my house and moved here as well. Since my son and his family moved to Washington state back in the early 2000's, I have no family remaining in Texas. My friends back there remind me that I'm lucky I got out in time....
