Now that the new year is on us, there is some cautious optimism that this one should be better. With old 'Sleepy Joe' about to take over from 'The Donald', it should get interesting on the political front.
On a personal note, I did get my first COVID-19 vaccination this past week. I got the Moderna vaccine, which will require a second shot around the first of next month. Although I have already had been infected and suffered through this crud, it's still a good idea to get the vaccine; if nothing else, it will keep my immunity boosted. As for side effects, the only noticeable one was just pain at the injection side, which at its worst lasted about 2 days, then subsided. Tylenol does help with it, and made the pain manageable.
Looking forward to the weather warming up again, although overall the temps have not been as cold as it had been, no hard freezes so far.
