Dealing with the first small prick

Got 1st Pfizer shot at DuPage County Fairgrounds yesterday (3/16). Very coordinated and working well. If you live or work in DuPage and are eligible, sign up for weekly email updates and then the magic email comes with link to dates & times. They schedule your 2nd dose on the spot (with a choice); you can have the invite sent to your email and/or have it printed at the table.  There’s also a table of “goodies” like bottled water, sanitizers, masks and probably more, but I didn’t bother to check it out – I wanted to exit, stage left.  Longest wait was in the line at the parking lot but that was only because for once I was 30 minutes early!  Once I got in (on time), I was driving out the parking lot 24 minutes later.

Glad to be done with the constant checking on the always-crashing Walgreens site, never heard back from Meijer and I firmly believe Jewel expected me to hit someone in a walker to free up a spot.
