nosrednayduj1st Pfizer shot down, 2nd scheduled. Having a 5-week gap because of planned CA trip. I don't want a potential fever at the airport, so I'm delaying until after my return. This confused bureaucrats but they coped. I figured this is what they're doing in Europe as a matter of course, so it must be okay.
Separately, Valerie has been part of a health-related study for the past couple of years, for which they outfitted her with a fit bit. The study is now over, and she has passed the fit bit on to me. I've had it for about five days. I'm finding it fun to look at my sleep patterns, and I'm amazed at its ability to figure out what I have been doing for exercise. It accurately detects brisk walking, outdoor bicycling, and running on the elliptical. It did not detect kayaking. Valerie said that it often detected kayaking as "outdoor activity", but it didn't detect it at all for me today. I haven't yet done yoga with it, so I don't know what it will say about that. I have not been so impressed with its ability to count steps. It gave me like 25 steps for sitting and changing my clothes. There was a lot of waving my arms around as I changed my shirt and tied my shoes, but there was only a little bit of standing up in order to pull up my pants, and there was no walking at all. I think it's doing a little grade inflation.
