Week 44

Waiting patiently for vaccine. Arizona doesn't seem to have gotten its full promised allotment, and Phoenix doesn't seem to be following any priority, but its own. We just barely got out of phase 1A (medical personnel and nursing homes) this week. It's supposed to be 1B now all over the state (people above 75 and first responders). Too few sites, too little vaccine, you have register on-line and I've heard, there aren't any more slots available for 1B here or in Phoenix this month. Hopefully more vaccine will show up, there will be more sites, and we can get rolling in a serious fashion. I'm in 1C so there is no point holding my breath.

I haven't gotten my $600 stimulus yet. It took a long time to get the $1200, so I'm not expecting this one soon. I've only spent about half the first one: on a new thermostat, a new web camera with microphone, and this week, a new laser printer. I got tired of my color ink jet printer constantly wanting me to waste paper and ink on registration tests, when I almost never use color printing. I'll keep that ink jet printer for its scanner. This laser printer is b&w only. The toner is expensive, but will print many more pages of B&W than the ink jet cartridges cartridges and won't dry out quickly in the Arizona heat.
