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. "We are well-educated, we believe science , we learn and accept new things, we are people who having common sense! We are neither extremely right, nor left.

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.

上周二的亞特蘭大慘案，我也看到了事件對我的影響：前日中午接孩子放學回家，在學校內的三叉路口處，兩道上的車子本該讓行，交替通過。我前麵的車子過了後，我開到路口，等待另一個路口車輛通行。可是等了幾秒鍾我也不見對方車子動，最後我想：難道是對方讓我先行？猶豫一下，我開過去了。從後視鏡中，我看到那輛車跟隨在我後麵開出。可能對方是在用這種方式表示對亞裔女性的同情或支持吧。
