My daughter is the best

-

 For Valentines Day she gave me the best gift.


An appointment to get the COVID vaccine.


Seriously. 


She previously got appointments for my mother (age 88) and for Drew (teacher).  I become eligible tomorrow, since NY is now allowing those with co morbidities to be vaccinated.  And this morning Jen found an appointment for me.

    My first cousin (in her 70's and in remission from breast cancer) in Queens can't get an appointment. I tried to help her after she had basically given up. It's quite an experience. Right now the state sites are overwhelmed. I have the greatest of respect for "vaccine angels" like your daughter. It's a hard job trying to help one person (I wa also trying to help an inlaw up here who also became eligible today) never mind several, again, like your daughter. The local inlaw, btw, finally got an appointment this morning for April - 200 miles from here. There is something so wrong with all this. I'm happy for you!! Please give your daughter a thumbs up from me. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      I know what you mean. I have friends who can’t get appointments, I have a friend here on Long Island who has to go to Westchester in April. Jen was able to get appointments for my mom, Drew and Hen’s boyfriend’s mom on Long Island. My appointment is in two weeks, at the Javits Center. I have no problem traveling into Manhattan for this. Jen is amazing,

      Keep trying to get something closer for the in law, it can happen. Good luck.

      The good news is that another friend's son was able to get her and her husband appointments yesterday for mid March at Stony Brook (not on the same day, alas). And the in law was also able to get an appointment scheduled locally after hours of trying. I'm glad they got other help because I totally struck out!

    Our daughter helped us get an appointment also. The website was really bewildering.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
