hermionesviolinWednesday (Mar 17) morning, the Massachusetts governor announced the schedule for the remaining vaccine rollout.

Last night (Thurs Mar 18), I was messaging with my partner and my (now fully vaccinated) housemate about plans for next week (Thom's and my next shared-air window under the new "Thom's 15yo is in school 2 weeks out of 4 instead of 1 week out of 4 -- but also CDC guidance changed from 14 days to 10 days") and she said:
That is extra exciting because on Thursday, March 11, Massachusetts announced a push for K-12 to go back full-time in-person. High school plans won't be announced until April, and we can do a reprise of our Christmas accommodations if necessary, but that would probably get us one weekend/month at best -- which, I mean, I can totally live with for the next few months while school is still in session, but it would be an excellent bonus if I didn't have to.

It was not the official notification of when Phase 3 starts (I knew I'd _eventually_ get a vaccine), but seeing that my mom is eligible starting next week (ages 60+ are eligible starting March 22) that made me feel physically lighter.[N.B. My dad is older than my mom and got his first vaccine shot a couple weeks ago -- Fri Mar 5.]
My parents have been staying pretty isolated, so I haven't been particularly worried about them _getting_ covid. And of course who knows how long my mom will have to wait for a slot once she's officially eligible. But what even are emotions?

[R] has had the first shot. Once they get past the second shot we should be able to loosen this up. Any word on when Thom gets theirs?(R is my housemate's metamour.)
