8:27 a.m. - It's Sunday, and it's just the cats and me and a quiet house.  I have a few little things on my agenda for the day, but it appears that it's going to be a fairly quiet day.  There's apparently a big snowstorm headed our way - maybe even a thundersnow event.  I don't know if that means there will be a snow day tomorrow or a full-remote day tomorrow.  There are two big NFL Conference Championship football games scheduled for today, and I'd like to get all my crap done before 2:00 p.m. today, so I can be a couch potato and watch those games.  I need to head to my parents house and help them with a couple of things and visit for a bit.  I'd like to get a little exercise in somehow.  And I'd like to do a little schoolwork.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (1/24)

I'm a little disgruntled about this whole vaccine thing.  I'm supposedly an "essential worker", and our school district has deemed in necessary for me to be in a work environment that has not allowed for social distancing ALL SCHOOL YEAR, but for some reason it's up to me to take time out of my day and schedule a time to get a vaccine, and then report back to the school that I've completed that task.  The school/county was able to come out to RHS and provide a flu vaccine.  I was asked to complete a survey of whether or not I would be willing to receive the COVID vaccine.  Can I be sure my parents can get the vaccine first?  And is my school district's interest in me getting the vaccine a show of concern for my health or just another show of concern of keeping the building open?  Grrrrrrrr...
