A shot in the dark
posted in Illnesses, NaBloPoMo, OmegaDotter, School |Okay, not the dark. But definitely the cold.
The local school district had H1N1 vaccinations for registered students. Having read tales of people waiting in lines for three, four hours to get the shot, I determined we should get there early. We got there, not the first, but close to it, and waited inside the outer doors, but were not allowed inside the inner doors until it was Time.
In the meantime, more people came with their kids. And more. The airlock filled up with people. And then still more came.
And these idiots propped the door open.
It was 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Gah.
But once the time came, we got in and out within ten minutes. The dotter and I went off to lunch together, then off to her gymnastics class, and then home again.
Not a sign of pain in her arm, not a whiff of fever, not a single side effect. She was happy as a clam all day long.
