Happy New Year!

 We spent a good bit of time on New Year's Eve trying to decide whether to make an appointment to get the Moderna vaccine.  And then trying to MAKE that appointment. 

I just so happened to text a good friend of ours that evening with a Happy New Year message.  She immediately called me and said that the University Health System is making appointments RIGHT NOW for the vaccine to be given in January.  I told her we were planning on waiting until the end of January and that Guillermo most likely was going to get it from his doctor.  I thanked her for letting us know and after a while we hung up.  I checked the website she told me about and there were appointments available from January 5 - 17.  I told Guillermo about it and he said he'd prefer to wait for his doctor.  Then I texted Fernando and asked him what he thought about it and what he thought we should do.  He didn't hesitate to say we should get the vaccine as soon as possible.  So I went BACK to the website and now there were only slots available for January 13 - 17.  I tried to get the 13th but evidently they were filling up on the spot and finally was able to get an appointment for the 14th for both of us.  As soon as I made Guillermo's appointment, he got a confirmation email.  I made my appointment before making his and to this day, I have yet to receive a confirmation email.  I'm going to go to my appointment anyway, but it's worrisome to not have a confirmation email.  My friend also did not get a confirmation, yet her husband did.  Her appointment is on January 5th, so she said she will let me know how it goes without a confirmation in hand.  We heard on the news later that all available time slots were taken up within a 5 hour span.

After that, we watched another episode of a show on Netflix until about 11:40 and then listened to and watched all the fireworks going on around us.   Happy New Year!
