Yesterday in Winchester

Sometimes when I'm in Winchester, I drive by this veterinary office just to see what sign they've posted.  This seems like good advice. I don't lie down in the snow anyway 'cause I'm too old for that. 

I posted some photos yesterday of the vaccination site at Shenandoah University. Here we see a depiction of the school's mascot, a hornet. It stands outside the athletic center where we went for the Covid vaccine. The vaccination stung but not as painfully as a hornet!

The process was well organized, a relief after the stressful sign-up process, which required racing through onine forms to secure an appointment before they were all taken. I tried every day for a week.

In three weeks we will get email messages telling when to get our second dose of the vaccine.


They gave me a sticker and a card showing when I got the shot. I was thankful and elated to get the vaccine.  I'm looking forward to feeling less threatened by the pandemic after the second dose, although we'll need to keep masking for a while. I should be able to see Lynn again in March! She is officially over Covid-19 and is isolating for a few more days. 

The final shot is a selfie I took while waiting 15 minutes after getting the shot. This is required to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. As someone with allergies, I stationed us close to the table with a Medical Assistance sign.

My hair was terribly windblown so I cropped this image rather than retouching it. Okay, maybe I did modify it a little bit. Can you tell?

  7. Glad to see that Bernie was overseeing your safety at the vaccine site! I had Covid over Christmas and my Dr wants to me wait 3 months to take the vaccine, so I missed mine today! Wah! Stay healthy and thanks for linking up.

  8. I got my first shot on Tuesday. Looking forward to the second. I didn't document it as they asked that no photos be taken in the venue.
