Pointless Storytime with Tara!

So mom and I are masked up, waiting in the car for our Covid vaccines (an incredibly efficient process, I must say!) So there we are, just sittin in the car waiting in our car line; there is lots of movement outside the vehicles and in the tents ahead of us and I am trying to mind my own business and not stare at people too much (i havent seen this many people all in one place in a very long time).

So there I am just focusing on minding my own business so I dont out myself as too feral to socialize but I get the feeling I am being watched. I notice a group of military clad humans looking in our direction and I panic a bit (because I had forgotten what it feels like to be perceived). Naturally my panic increases because I GOT CAUGHT!!! (doing what?! IDK!! People in UNIFORM NOTICED ME)! One of the watchers starts making their way over to my opened window. It was the same kind older Black gentleman who asked me a bunch of questions just a few minutes earlier, but had problems entering my information with his stylus into the Ipad looking device.

Despite my discomfort with all men in uniform, this man was really quite endearing. But now, he’s headed back my direction. He is still in uniform and so are all his friends. Who are all still percieving me! Did the device not work? Is it me? Maybe I am ineglible!? Did they run my license? Is there a warrant out for my arrest? Maybe I smelled like an extracurricular activity?! Why are they all still looking at me??! I must have done something!

He approaches the window, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Khaleesi?”
