Day of frustrations
Sep. 10th, 2025 10:27 pmGot up this morning somewhat after 10:00, had breakfast and coffee. Showered, and washed my hair.
Then I dressed and puttered on the computer and my phone til 2:15 when I left to go get my vaccinations at 3:00. I got to Duane Reade by 2:30 and checked in on my phone and sat down to wait. I thought they might take me early bt they didn't call me.
At 3:00 they took in a walk in and I said I had an appointment for 3:00. The woman said had had to go to the desk and tell them. So I was standing on line when they started talking about smelling smoke. Everyone came out from the pharmacy area and security went in. They were saying it was the middle computer, but the next thing I knew they were saying it was gas and everyone had to leave the store.
I asked what about my vaccination appointment and the woman took my name and said she would call me and I could come in tomorrow as a walk in. The fire department arrived around then.
So I left the store and went and got my face waxed, which I needed. That was fine.
I walked to the bus stop and had just gotten there when my phone rang and it was Duane Reade and they said that the store was reopened and I could come in right then. So I said yes and headed back.
Then it turned out that they were only going to give me the flu shot, because corporate was upholding the ludicrous standards set up by that clown RFK jr. they wouldn't give me the Covid. Despite Governor Hochul's executive order stating that pharmacists could give the Covid vax without a prescription, to anyone.
They said they could only give it to me if I had an underlying issue. So I told them I was prediabetic, which is true except borderline, and they accepted that. I was pretty steamed though.
So I got my shots. No problem. Came home and called
mashfanficchick and told zer. We discussed it for awhile.
I went into the bedroom and read Partners in Crime til 6:45 and then I came out and got the computer ready for Teaming the FWiB.
But his end of things got screwed up somehow and it took us over 20 minutes to connect. So we had little time before I got off at 8:00 for Monster of the Week time.
I was hoping that Discord would be better than last week. It wasn't. It was about the same. It was another session zero, setting things up, so I didn't miss any game time, but I still missed an awful lot of what went on.
We ended a bit before 10:00. I got on Roll20 to try and input my character sheet. That was difficult too but eventually I got in, then couldn't figure out the character sheet setup.
I logged out, fed the pets, and had dinner, and here I am.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got my face waxed.
3. Got the vaccinations finally.
4. May get to see
mashfanficchick tomorrow.
5. My gaming group.
6. Good books.
