Monday I had a very nice conversation with an old friend I don't get to see or talk to much.
Of course, the conversation at one point turned to the pandemic. Briefly. Along the way, he told me how he 'accidentally' got vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus. He suggested I look in small towns for my shot.
I have been checking every day to see if I could get an appointment sooner than my March 21 appointment, without success. I honestly don't know enough about the geography outside of my Syracuse-centered locality, but I did try and find something further down the list than I usually go, but still without success.
Yesterday i was up early-ish for me, because i had gotten a notification that over a thousand new appointments were going to be available at ten o'clock. I had set an alarm (good thing, I was asleep at 9:55).
But, no joy for me.

Which is when I got a text message from my friend Al (I have previously referred to him as Saint Al). Simple message: "The local Walgreen's just called my parents to tell them they are looking for people who need to get vaccinated. Check up here, zip code 13212."
So I checked. And got an appointment for Friday. It's a long drive (over two hours), and I'm happy and excited about it.
Second shot appointment is already made, exactly four weeks later, on March 12. In late March or April, I'll be driving to Florida, I think.

I'm grateful for my luck, including the good fortune to have good friends. I take nothing for granted.
