Shelter in Place, February 1, 2021
This morning John managed to snag one of maybe a hundred vaccine appointments at our local clinic, while I kept refreshing the link in vain hopes of doubling our luck. Downtown together with plenty of time to wait for his appointment, we visited the nearly empty SalesForce park, four stories above the street, its lovely, long green walkways flanked by small mini-gardens that represent each continent. Here, South African protea frame one of the city’s tallest towers.
It would have been nice if we both had gotten our first vaccine together today, but at least John’s jab gets us 25% of the way towards safety. I’ll take it, even as I keep on refreshing the website through the night and into the wee hours of the morning hoping that maybe, just maybe, things are looking up!
