I got a Covid shot appointment at a Target about 20 minutes away that’s near a supermarket we don’t normally shop at so I took advantage and went early and got the salsa closer stores seem to have stopped selling. Plus lettuce for BLTs and some other pantry items. I was going to get Swiss chard but it was $6! For a tiny bunch and not even organic. That’s bonkers.
The shot was uneventful, the pharmacist was nice but unmasked which always strikes me as bizarre. Matt had an appointment this evening at the same location but they called and canceled it an hour before saying they were out of vaccine. Not sure what happened there but he rescheduled it for another CVS in a Target in another location for next week. I really wanted mine now since I’m going away for a couple days in October for a class and they said it takes about 2 weeks to kick in.
We are supposed to be hit with a tropical storm (or the aftermath) this weekend so didn’t want to schedule it for then. That’s why I didn’t do a big shop or buy any expensive perishables this week just in case! My dad lives on a river and has a well so he has to do more prep than we do in the city. I did charge my kindle.
Matt picked up sandwich stuff at the Italian store for lunch and then made this dumpling filling inspired chicken meatloaf for dinner. It was pretty good we had it over rice with furikake and I had some cucumber spears. And leftover cake.
My arm is pretty sore from the shot! I can’t really lift it very high. Hopefully that’s the only side effect!
