Department of Medicine: THB has another infusion of Rutuximab, about 11 months after the first one. This time around there is Covid relief: a week after the completion of the infusions, THB gets two monoclonal antibody shots (one in each butt cheek) that combined make up Evulsheld. "...this preventative treatment may provide additional protection for people with severely compromised immune systems ... who are within one year of receiving B-cell depleting therapies (e.g., rituximab, ...)."

Hey, amazing, just one year later and THB has his very own vaccine available. Shots may provide coverage for 3 or 6 months, so THB will be getting another double-shot soon. 

Department of Transportation: DB and THB turn in the BMW i3 4 months early (or is it 5). Love the car, dealers don't want to sell you the one you leased. So here is the new(ly) leased car: Volvo XC40 Recharge, all electric (no gas extender), which is slightly larger than the i3, has 4 real doors, a bit more trunk space and (most importantly) a bigger range on a charge than the i3. Oh, and it is 2.4 times more expensive per month than the i3 (for a variety of reasons). 

What's the hardest part of dealing with a new car (hint: it is not figuring out how to drive the thing)

Department of Objects in their places: some of the art buys from the last few weeks are now on hand, maybe not in their final resting places

Birdie Boone bowls

Chase Travaille: Shards

Lauren Ari: Twin Sisters (i.e., her mother and aunt)

Tricia McGuigan: Floats

Chase Travaille: Shard Amphora No. 8 (also not quite in its proper place yet)

Lunch? 

Monster Pho had to close the location near the Loft; about 1.5 miles away is their primary location. THB and DB dine indoors because MP has taken every precaution possible to avoid transmitting Covid: Robots!
