Def agree on keeping the arm active. I did not after either one of my doses and regretted it the next day. Was sooooo sore. 

Mr Map was down and out all day yesterday, but felt fine this morning. I'm feeling great, arm soreness is completely gone. 

And we decided today that the kiddo can go back to school in the building now that we have dose 2 coursing through our veins. She is SUPER excited, and we are too. She will be going 4-days a week and that means a very quiet house! 

It is so nice to be able to start to do things again right! I took over the grocery shopping from Mr. J. He is so awesome that along with working from home he took that on for over a year. Thought I would be a little more anxious going in, but it was like I had never stopped doing it. The girls are out for the rest of the year. We had to make a decision before the end of 3 term and at that time none of us were vaxed and did not know when we would be. But I did just last week purchase tickets to watch the older Miss J's recital at the Weinberg Center next weekend. She does not have as many dances this year as we only let her take 2 classes, but will be so nice to be able to watch her dance again. Her studio is also doing a live feed as capacity is limited for in person. Also went to an awards ceremony for the younger Miss J last night for FFA. Was told by the Principal that the ceremony was the first awards ceremony held in person since schools shut down.

Got my shot earlier and it hurt a lot less than the first one. So now I just wait and see what I get from it if anything. Tomorrow will be telling

I was the same way. The second one hurt a lot less than the first and I had no other side effects. Hopefully you will be the same way.

Thanks to all for posting vax experiences.  I get the second Moderna on May 18.  I have parents and siblings in Calvert and St. Marys and none of them plan to get vaccinated. 

Thank you for getting your vaccine. Neither me or my daughter had any side effects from our shots, me Moderna and her Pfizer. Mr. J got the J&J and again no side effects. Drinking a lot of water helps and keep your arm active.

Yep....the wx radio just started doing its happy dance. Forgot I had the volume raised and it just about blew me out of my office chair.   

That is the Carrot weather app warning sound for me. Makes the cats scramble out of the room of the offending sound.

Cool!  My daughter is 17, and is eligible for the Pfizer shot (once I can get her in for one, looks like it's getting easier now).  So far that has been the only one available down to age 16 I think.

I heard that all the mass sites have them. That if you call the number and say you have a minor that they are holding Pfizer at all locations even if it is not the dominate shot there that day.

My daughter is very excited! She turns 13 in a week!

I'm stoked that both my youngest kids will be eligible.  Get them all vax'd up and the whole house will be safe right when summer break starts.

Yep even my 14 year old who has a major needle phobia is excited. She wants to see friends and her cousins this summer.

Yep...the Monocacy too.  And just when the rivers were getting into good fishing shape.

The creek in our backyard is just about to break out of its banks...Think it may come up short though.

Yea will have to look at Ballenger Creek right behind my house. It runs through a cow pasture back there, the cows get agitated when it floods.

That cell just passing @Mrs.J’s area looking healthy.

Yea the Southern tip of that put me over 1" for the day. Much more rain to my North going to be bad flooding from all this rain. The Potomac will be raging tomorrow for sure.

Not trying to put the cart before the horse here, but the LSRs from Frederick County are right where the transient CC drop was.

 

That second report is right in the middle of Libertytown. Literally 26 and 75 meet in the town center, not a very big town. 

And caught the tail end of the storm over here pushing my rain totals up to 0.94" still raining lightly so may go up to an inch.

Hearing scanner reports of multiple trees/wires down around MD 26 in Frederick County.

I was going to say it was right along MD 26 Libertytown area. Mostly farm land out there hope nothing was hit.

Line's gone pretty linear.

I just might catch the end of that line over here, although looks to be keeping just to my north.

@Mrs.J The storm by you in Ballenger Creek also looks a little sus. Are you seeing any sign of rotation?

 

Did not see any. 

Out back to the SW

Out front to the SE

Got home and house was too stuffy. A/C time

Have managed to keep the A/C off for today. Have been under clouds most of the day. But did go up to the older Miss J's room and she had her window open and the ceiling fan off. Told her that the room felt like a sauna and to shut her window or turn on her fan. 

My sister works at Emory as well as my BIL. They are currently under a tornado warning.

Ok I’ve got questions. Don’t laugh lol. 
1. how was that made

2. it almost looks like it’s pulling moisture off of trees as it approaches. Like mist being sucked in. What is that?

Drone went in. The guy who took it said he lost the drone to the inflow as he had to reposition. 

Amazing footage!!

Glorious evening lounging on the deck.
