I have been engaged in a little power play with Lil Zen. Now that it has come to pass, I won’t worry about jinxing it by speaking early.
Lil Zen has been giving me fits about getting her Covid shot. She used the J&J pause to not go forward with one of the others. I couldn’t get a straight answer out of her as to her reluctance to making herself safer. After bringing it up a couple of times, I let it go.
When Ca opened to all ages, I waited a few days for her to get it together but finally, in an email about other things, I told her if she would allow me to make an appointment for her, send her info. She sent it, I made the first appointment available, which was for Tuesday 4/20 and the next for 4 weeks later. Problem? She works Tuesdays. I had to cancel that one and get another. That turned out to be for Wednesday 4/21 and I just got a text that she is in the after shot waiting room!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

This should have been just simple but she was angry with me and thought I was being too pushy about something in her life. I was adamant that she needed to get vaccinated so I could sleep better. The argument that it was for me usually works and it did here but I have to stop using that NOW! This is the last best use of that lever.
I apologized to her for being so insistent, and she apologized for being angry and we pledged our continuing love for each other. But I have vowed to myself to let up, let go, let her do her. I think it will be the hardest decision I have ever made and I wonder how long I will be able to keep it.
Be safe and be well.
