Shot Day

[susandennis]

My appointment isn't until 2:15. Yesterday, it was announced that Amazon is teaming up with one of the hospitals to hold a major vaccination clinic tomorrow and shoot up a bunch o' peops. Also Microsoft is setting up is now empty campus as a giant vaccination clinic. And Starbucks is in the mix as well. It's kind of cool to see all these major players fighting for a chance to help. And, it appears, actually doing practical stuff to get there.

But, I'm grateful to my doctor's organization that they will shoot me up and I don't have to fight the crowds.

My brother convinced me to switch grocery list making from Google Keep, which I've used for years, to Alexa which I had tried once and abandoned. But, they have fixed my issues and it's gotten very excellent. Yes, I can add to the list by voice but they main feature I now discover is shopping at Amazon Fresh. When I think of something to add, I find it on Amazon Fresh and click 'add to Alexa list'. Now, if I am at the store, I have a solid list to work from. BUT if I want it delivered, I just go to Amazon Fresh and with one click, can order up my list! This is exceedingly handy.

I have also created a Trader Joe's list and a Costco list and a list for the fancy market.

And, speaking of food, I saw that fried chicken place on the corner is going to have fried catfish tomorrow. I believe I'm going to have to give that a try. His chicken isn't as good as Popeye's but I'll bet his catfish is going to be excellent.

Biggie has discovered that there is interesting stuff behind the fire screen and how to get back there. That shit needs to stop. That's the top of my todo list today.

I'm glad you are getting shot and I love the company involvement too. AND I see that they are mobilizing FEEMA to open 100 centers. Feds at work. I so love it.

And glad you like the Alexa set up. I've not used Fresh so much but I've assumed that Amazon would integrate the Alexa app with Amazon more closely and that is a step. It is such an easy thing when working in the kitchen and I see something to replace to tell Alexa. That and turning on/off lights is 90 percent of what I use it for.

I rarely do the voice command thing but I have a biscillion routines set up to turn on/off lights and ceiling fan and window shades.

One that cracks me up is... Biggie naps in the bedroom in the evenings. Alexa turns on the ceiling light about 10/15 mins before I go back there to get into bed. BUT, if I lose track of time, I know, when Biggie comes out to the living room (because the light woke him up), it's bedtime!

Also, you know all those lights that I used to keep on at night? Alexa now turns them off and then on again in the morning. You can thank her next time you are here.

I love that you're getting your shot - as I look at the time 3 hours from when I'm typing this! Yay! It also sounds like Washington State has its act together much more than some other states that will remain nameless!
