Good to hear. Probably not really back, just checking in.

Same old, same old. Don't want to feel like I just come here to complain about stuff.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Fine. Come here so that we who miss your presence can say to each other (here and in other venues) "Did you see? Sorus posted to the Watch!"

If a Watcher needs to complain about something, where will they find people more willing to lend an ear? Feel free. We help each other as we can. But "just"? No, we want your joy as well.

Yes, but ALSO though, joy is in the ears that hear, right? :D Just 'cause it sounds like that to you doesn't mean their isn't joy for the rest of us in it, including that of your simple presence. :)

(And there's always the Discord too. ;) )

There is Discord aplenty on the Watch, albeit mostly confined to the Tank.

CDC wrote:Additional Primary Shot and Booster Shot for Some Immunocompromised People

After completing the primary series, some moderately or severely immunocompromised people should get an additional primary shot.

Everyone 12 years and older, including immunocompromised people, should get a booster shot. If you are eligible for an additional primary shot, you should get this dose first before you get a booster shot.
And
CDC wrote:Who Is Moderately or Severely Immunocompromised?

People are considered to be moderately or severely immunocompromised if they have:

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood (me due to walking chemo for leukemia)
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response
Guidance has changed since my 1st booster back in August. Then it was a booster 5 months after the first two shots. Now it's 3 primary doses, with the 3rd dose 28 days after the 2nd, and a booster 5 months later. I got a booster 5 months after my 2nd shot, so as soon as it's been 5 months after that booster, I was told to get another.

Definitely.
I had no idea until my hematologist sent out an email saying "go get another booster."

bleh...
So usually when I've been vaccinated, my reaction to each of them has been fairly mild. My understanding is that is typical for an immunocompromised individual. However, the more intense the reaction, apparently the more the immune system is kicking in in response to it.
Last night I had very intense chills in the middle of the night, and I'm now running a fever of 101°F.
Good thing I timed this so I have no substitute gigs pending this week.

So...seems like the Watch was down for a few hours. I'd like to encourage everybody to join the Discord as an alternative venue for when stuff like this happens.

Wasn't just me? I had the same problem several days ago. I texted dlb, who was able to get on no problem, then I could, too.

Nah, this one seemed to be a host / server issue. BTW, even Vain is on the Discord now. ;)
