WHY I DECIDED TO GET THE COVID-19 VACCINATION
When I first learned that a vaccine for COVID-19 had been developed I had mixed emotions about it like many people. In the past year my family and I have been fortunate enough to have escaped the virus but I know many close friends and family that have not been so fortunate and after seeing and hearing their stories I sure didn’t want to play Russian roulette with this virus or vaccine any longer than I had to. The decision to receive the vaccine or not weighed heavily on my mind still so I sat down and made a list of what I felt were important factors to help me make an informed decision one way or another.

This Chaotic Mess
I glance at the Fitbit on my wrist and its 10:30pm. Grrrr I growl to myself under my breath. I am at work and I have only been here thirty minutes. The night will be long; an eternity almost I am sure of it, before 6am rolls around. I pace myself and the paperwork in front of me for the next seven and half hours silently marking off each one in my head until I can get home and take off this mask, the necessary goggles, shoes and bra. Seven and half hours until I am at my apartment where I can retreat to my office slash guest bedroom, slash my cozy corner. Before I know it, the magical hour has arrived, HALLELUHIA! I quickly give a shift report to the next person in charge and then I gather my bag and head to my truck, and it is homeward bound for me. Once inside my apartment I drop my bag and keys on the floor next to the door and precede to take off the earlier mentioned items. I change into sweats and a comfy oversized t-shirt, my slippers and head to the kitchen. I pull out a frozen breakfast croissant sandwich tossing it in the microwave for one minute and twenty seconds because anything more will produce a brick instead of an edible sandwich. I make a cup of hot chocolate in the Keurig while I wait on my croissant that now has less than sixty seconds. Looking back at my wrist my Fitbit reminds me I still have 100 steps to complete within the hour, and I quickly dismiss it, I will just have to make it up later. I peek my head in the bedroom to check in on my husband who has no doubt probably just crawled into bed himself, he does not sleep well when I am at work. This works out to my advantage sadly, I mean I hate that he stays awake but that gives me that much needed quiet time, free from the world, free from the demands of work, just free from the distraction of everyday life. I quickly peck him on the cheek and let him know I am home safe and that I am retreating to my office, he returns the kiss half awake, and closes his eyes again, I look over at the bundle under neath the comforter and I see only the happy wagging tail of Bubba our fury little four legged Chiweenie. He is going to need to go outside for his morning walk before I can retreat to my office, I guess I will get those 100 steps in this hour after all, I think to myself as I whistle for him. Once outside I impatiently wait on Bubba to find the perfect few blades of grass to squat down and leave me his “gift”, at which time I remember I forgot to grab the “gift poop bag”. Oh my God, I yell silently in my head. I will just pick it up later besides the apartment manager is not in her office yet, I look to see if her car is the parking lot, it is not which tells me she is dropping her kids off at school. One of the cons of living directly in front of the leasing office, I remind myself as I tug on the leash signaling Bubba that it is time to go inside. Once inside I head to the kitchen and to microwave, where my breakfast is barely warm, but thankfully there is steam still coming from my coffee mug. With both in hand, and Bubba behind me I head to my office.
