Persistence make things happen. I persisted, then I got my vaccine appointment, which will be on Friday, March 26^th. The excitement came to me at the moment when I was told “your appointment is confirmed, congratulation!”, then disappeared quickly. I have been walking outside almost every day since the outbreak of the pandemic back to Mar of 2020. My life will not be quite different after vaccination, but I have to worry about the upcoming side-effects. The chance of getting severe reaction is minor, I have no food allergy, no drug allergy…, I bought lottery but never won a penny back. I am not an extremely lucky person, most probably I will be as same as the majority, either no reactions or having mild reactions.  I comforted myself.

Based on local news, 50% of people age over 45 have been vaccinated in CT, such high vaccination rate shocked me. I shared my thought with one of my neighbors, a guy at age of 60s. He said it doesn’t surprised him. He was born and grow up here. CT people’s personality lead to the current outcome.

Just a day after our conversation, I heard an interview from CT public radio station. “CT set a good example in dealing with this covid-19 crisis……

Since March 20^th, the first day of spring, We have been going through three warm spring days with the highest inland temperature at 60F, shoreland at 50F, today will be another warm spring day with slight shower in the afternoon.  Our Chinese have a saying that the rain in spring is as precious as oil. Today’s rain will be a start, I am looking forward the coming of more spring rains.

上周二的亚特兰大惨案，我也看到了事件对我的影响：前日中午接孩子放学回家，在学校内的三叉路口处，两道上的车子本该让行，交替通过。我前面的车子过了后，我开到路口，等待另一个路口车辆通行。可是等了几秒钟我也不见对方车子动，最后我想：难道是对方让我先行？犹豫一下，我开过去了。从后视镜中，我看到那辆车跟随在我后面开出。可能对方是在用这种方式表示对亚裔女性的同情或支持吧。
