We got our first COVID vaccine today. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the Lyon County Health Department. We were both in and out in less than 20 minutes which included the 15 minute mandatory wait after you get the shot. We go back February 19 for the second one. They will send us a time for that shot when the date gets closer.
We dropped cookies off at Jason and Michelle’s houses and then went to Cottonwood Falls to dump recycling and pick up Jim’s car. The recycling trailer had been emptied but was almost full again. We were able to get a car load of stuff in it and then we came home.
I handled five calls on the hot line last night. Three were high risk texters and I had to get the supervisor involved in them to monitor the calls. They watch the conversation in case they need to call emergency services for the texter. Luckily I was able to talk them down to a cooler calm and that didn’t have to happen. I usually can handle two cals at a time but when they are high risk I only take one at a time.
I hit my 200 hour mark last night. I had been on the hot line taking calls for over 200 hours now. My original commitment to them was for 200 hours so that is paid off. Now I can decide how many hours a week I want to volunteer and if I want to stay on the schedule or just pop in to see if they need more hands. For now, I think I will keep my schedule as it has been and go from there. I mostly enjoy volunteering for them although it can be stressful at times.
I cleaned the bathrooms this morning. They were disgusting again. I’m not sure why I let things go so long before I clean. I am getting lazy these days I think.
I slept well last night so didn’t take a nap today. It feels so good to get a good night’s sleep. Wish I could do that every night.
I got my stimulus check today. I will get that in the bank this evening. Good to cross that off my pending list.
I’m fixing green chicken for dinner tonight. That will be another easy dinner. Now to decide what to fix tomorrow night. Never ending it seems – deciding what to fix. That is the hardest part of the meal.
The girls gave me 18 eggs this morning. Jim hasn’t been down this afternoon yet to see if they have any more for us today. I now have 2 dozen eggs in the refrigerator with more in the egg basket on the counter. Easy come – easy go. Three dozen will go out Monday to my regular customers.
Jim’s car fix was an easy one and not too expensive. That was a relief to him. Good to have his car back. I love small town repair shops. They left the keys in the car and asked him to put a check under the door. Bet they don’t do that in big cities.
I’m so disgusted with the KS legislature and the disregard for safety precautions regarding the virus. We all look to our political leaders to be leaders and in my humble opinion the Republicans in office in KS are failing. I just don’t understand why they don’t listen to the science and put their little egos aside and do the right thing.
Grateful to have gotten shot number one today, grateful for all the health professionals that are doing a bang up job getting the vaccines out, and grateful I reached my 200 hour mark on the Hot Line.
