Like many of you, I suppose, I have way too many apps on my phone. To keep things organized, I store links for the most commonly used apps in folders. There's a “Social” folder, a “TV, Radio” folder, a “Games” folder, a “Shopping” folder, a “Utilities” folder, and several others.
This morning I was more than a little surprised to find two brand new widgets staring at me! I've got them circled in red in the screenshot above. I did NOT put them there.
Now, I know what they link to, at least in part. The USPS Mobile app allows easy access to several Post Office services that I use, usually from links in emails, other times from a browser on my laptop. And the QR Code links to a nifty personal information sharing tool I experimented with on my laptop recently.
BUT at no time did I download these apps to my phone, and I certainly never stuck their widgets in my phone's Utilities folder. I wonder who did.
Then I see this article about the Postal Service clandestinely monitoring social media posts of conservatives, and I wonder again about the mysterious appearance of those apps on my phone this morning.

Today is the first day following my 2nd Pfizer covid vaccine shot and, as sort of expected, I'm experiencing the common temporary side effects. There is the soreness in the arm that received the injection and elsewhere (shoulders, etc.) and more than usual tiredness.
Most folks who report these say the symptoms pass quickly. So I also expect all will be returning to normal over the next few days. Given my age, this may take a little longer than is the case with younger folks.
So I'm not overly concerned. But I am adjusting by dialing down my level of activity, I'm rescheduling chores, and I'm resting.

Earlier this afternoon she and I received our second (of the two-shot series) Pfizer covid vaccine shots.
Now the waiting game proceeds until we achieve “official immunity.” Some folks say that ten days after the second shot we're as immune as we can be, others say it takes two weeks until we're there. I think I'll play it safe and go with the longer estimate. That'll put May 4th as the date I can relax a little and begin mingling more in the outside world.
Just had a nice text chat with Sylvia's older brother in the Philippines. He's my age. He's glad we're doing fine and getting vaccinated. We're glad he's doing fine, too.
