I am worried about geting the vaccine, I had to take advantage of the Hot Sale, so last week I bought a ticket and booked a hotel room to LA, websites were super slow, everything is very expensive but anyway I made it! The next morning I watch the news and they say I can now register for vaccination, apparently it will start in June. You can imagine me trying to cancell everything, hours on the phone and in the end I couldn't cancel anything and will have to go to LA. Listen to 1 or 2 stories and look for TL use.
