I need to apologize to everyone for being a disappointment, but this is really not a good time for me. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over a week, and am feeling far from my best. I had a nice topic lined up for my turn, but I'm afraid it will have to wait. I am also finding it increasingly hard to write about music - hence my lack of comments in the previous polls. Fortunately, I have seen that a lot of people are willing to contribute, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem to find a replacement.

Dang, sorry to hear that Raff. I was looking forward to your topic, but no reason why you shouldn't be able to postpone it. I have chronic insomnia and know too well how a lack of sleep affects one (it increases my anxiety, for one).

I am having my first covid jab today, so I will try and get it done before then, as from what I understand once I’ve had the jab I might not feel like doing anything….

Other than some minor soreness in my upper arm, I had no ill effects from my first dose, nor did any of my family members.   I had the Pfizer. I'm scheduled for my second dose tomorrow, and with that it is more common to feel ill. Unfortunately we recently had a delay in Pfizer shipments, and we may get the Moderna. I'd rather get the Pfizer again and wait a bit (been some issues with Moderna and in this case getting the same brand is often thought better), but they won't tell you in advance and I have to travel a bit for the shot, and then if I say at the time I don't want it, that can make things hard to reschedule. 3 weeks between doses is what is recommended for the Pfizer, but we have to wait a couple of months or more here commonly (had my first dose on May 1st and this was the soonest I could book one). It's still better here than in a lot of places, to be sure, so I'm not complaining. The more virulent Delta variant is quite prevalent here, so will still have to remain cautious.

I wanted to do a topic on this before. Viruses/ pandemics/ plagues/ contagions/ contaminants and related things might make for an interesting if morbid Interactive Poll theme. Might call it Tainted love. I won't do that.
