I was doing napkin math, because I Love napkin math.
If I have to make two drives in the MD area to go get a different vaccine (rather than the J&J I had an appointment for this morning), my odds of being killed in a car accident during those drives are actually about equivalent to getting a blood clot from J&J.
Caveat 1 : napkin math tells me that’s about 0.8 in a million but can’t account for the fact that I like to think I’m a relatively safe driver and this isn’t a totally random roll of the dice.
Caveat 2 : 0.8 in a million are the same odds of blood clots from the J&J vaccine – except that math doesn’t take into account the fact that I’m not a woman between the ages of 18 and 48.
I know none of the above is how the Force works… I’m just annoyed because 27 hours ago I totally thought I’d be getting vaccination OVER with right about now.
I bucked the odds already because yesterday we packed up and played a video shoot down in Silver Spring, MD – which was a longer drive than I’d calculated for on the above napkin. It was a good outing though, down to AFI (American Film Institute) to work with Domenic and Jason and Juels Bland (he and his father had put it all together), playing a set on a beautiful stage with Rowan and Kristen and Heather. I got into my head about it for a little bit, but one of the nice things about filming for a show going Live in a MONTH is that you can do a song twice. (Glom of Nit just went CLEAN out of my head)
In any case – very strange not to be in the Lair, and this is something we’re going to have to get used to again – and this was probably the most controlled version of no longer being in control that it was possible to have.
