Vaxx 2

our second dose day - in about 4 1/2 h. It s a 10 minute drive to the Centennial College location

Weather has us at a humidex of 104 F < sorry its 98.6 > or pretty uncomfortable. The next five days are much more seasonal. But this is S Ont and we get humdidty at times. Basically, the temperature outside will match your body temperature. Thus, no cooling

And from Parent Today, online

In case parents needed to hear another thing we’ve been getting wrong all along, researchers from Stanford University published a study recently that suggests we might need to rethink what we’ve been told are normal and fever temperatures. The study analyzed databases from the mid 1800s to 2017, and found that humans’ normal body temperatures are now running almost 0.5 degrees Celsius cooler, compared to the 1800s.

This means that normal human body temperature isn’t the 37C or 98.6F that most of us have been taught. Instead, ‘normal’ seems closer to 36.5C or 97.7F. What’s perhaps most surprising is that this isn’t even news. A number of studies in recent decades have shown that normal isn’t 37C.

And funnily enough, we've been using an aural thermometer and my temperature has been reading 97.3 to 97.8 for about 9 months < since we bought the ear thermometer >. Who woulda thunk it - I'm normal at something

In the news, CBC online. From Business

The government should commit to a date to reopen the Canada-U.S. land border — which has been closed to non-essential travellers for more than a year — in order to help an industry that has been "hardest hit and will be the last to recover" from the pandemic, said Beth Potter, president and CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada. 

"The industry has been crushed and we cannot lose another summer tourist season," Potter told reporters in Toronto on Tuesday, launching a campaign to demand the federal, provincial and territorial governments work together on a plan now that vaccine rates are rising and COVID-19 caseloads are decreasing.

The Prime Minister has set a rough target of 75 % of Canadians  < 1 dose > before thought of border changes can happen.
Meanwhile, predictions are that the U.S. will fall short of the 70 % vaxxn target of Pre. Biden for July 4. 26 states are pretty much guaranteed of making the 70 % vax level

Done in one. EZ PZ for our 2 nd shot. Kudos to the Scarborough Health Network for ease of EVERYRHING. TG for SHN

And of course, I've got a rash. On the opposite arm. Allergy time for me. Pollen is flying all over the place in the backyard. 

And do not panic b/c the rash or whatever died down. Sprayed on Benadryl and all is good. Just me, allergic to the air.
Now, its 10 PM and I'm saying ' what rash  ? '. Yep, disappeared
