@rekiwi First, which of course gives me a few months to worry about the second. Spent all yesterday going “oh yeah I remember this feeling from when I had chicken pox.”

Woke up absolutely drenched in sweat and barely able to walk because apparently I didn’t move at all last night and my hips did not like that. OTOH I know longer have any vax-related aches. Woo hoo!

got a few months to worry about the 2nd shingrix shot yay

@jalcine Thanks for the transparency. We all got here from different places, but when there’s enough overlap to recognize shared challenges it makes the world a little smaller.

@DoctorDeathray I feel that one in my soul.

@chris I had to ponder the same. The countering thought: friend of mine got shingles and was down for about six weeks. Couple weeks with what he described as the worst pain he’d ever felt, a few more weeks to feel “okay.”

Oh and a few months to get his bodybuilding routine back to the level it had been.

A day of unpleasantness seems like a low price compared to that.

@chris Fair. My friend’s shingles experience was almost a decade ago so clearly I’m not gonna judge on waiting for the right moment.

We have the privileged position of being able to hire lawn dudes.

But not enough to hire lawn dudes with a predictable schedule, such as not when @IamMrsGeek is in an important meeting.

Also? It’s 32F outside right now. Extra leaf blower usage. Lawn dudes: WTF?

I was so pleased when we were making enough to rent a house with a lawn and enough to hire someone to take care of our lawn. Nice for the executive dysfunction, you know?

I did not predict being annoyed about strangers on my lawn every 1-3 weeks.

@jamie @IamMrsGeek for a little while they were consistent enough that I could say sometime early in the week, probably Monday, probably afternoon.

Turned out that was just a phase. I honestly thought they were done for the year. The lawn was still crispy with frost!

@senj @infernusgoatus the more important question is have they learned

Mastodon is an appropriate name, since any time someone declares with confidence what Mastodon is I get reminded of the blind men describing an elephant.

Middle of a meeting and my brain dropped a “Hello, we’re talking about (meeting topic)” on me, so for the last hour or so I’ve had a Fry and Laurie skit bouncing around in my head.
