Got my first jab this am

Astrazeneca. I don't think it's approved in the US. No pain, a little itching at the injection site.

The way it works in the NL: I got a mail telling me I was to get my first shot today and had to log in to a website to get a time to show up at the GP. I imagine that should go smoothly but my log in didn't work and it took me six phone calls to finally sort it all out and get a time. My Dutch is pretty bad. Mostly everyone speaks English but we still managed to create some misunderstandings.

Anyway hordes of people lined up at the doctor's office. Masks were required. Employees directed us to follow the duct taped arrows, 1.5m apart. Got the shot, went to the physical therapy gym to sit for 15 minutes in chairs that were spaced 1.5m apart, left when my time was up.

It was super easy and I've not been in a room with that many people in over a year, so that made me nervous. But it was fine and I'm thrilled to think we may have an end to lockdowns sometime. And maybe I'll see my kids again, I hope!!

For people without electricity

I know very little about surviving the cold but I was trying to check on things and found this. Maybe it helps a little.
