What's it all about, Alfie?

Today I was able to publish my first Open Source TypeScript npm library for using the Notarize service. Their docs are good, but the only client they offer is really just the docs on the REST endpoints for the service, which are nice, but it's really nice to have a good client that makes accessing the functions of the service easy. So at The Shop, we decided to make a Client, and then give it to the Notarize folks so that they can give it to other clients looking for a simpler access interface.

This was a nice foray into TypeScript, because the interfaces are easy to define, the domain components of the service are nicely separable, and things generally worked out quite nicely. The tests didn't seem to fit into a simple CI/CD pipeline, but that's something that we can work on - if needed, and now that it's out in the wild, we will see how it's used, and if we get requests for additions.

All in all, it was fun to get this out. And it made working with the service much nicer. 🙂

I just got back from Walgreens, after my second COVID-19 vaccine shot. I was a little surprised that I had to fill out paperwork for the second time - after all... I had filled it all out before the first, and they had to have it on-hand. But it wasn't too bad, and I was able to fill out the form in a few minutes, and then a very short wait, and I got the second Moderna shot.

This is supposed to be the more significant, in terms of side-effects, of the two, so I'm going to take it easy today and tomorrow - just to be safe. But I know this is the right thing to do, and it may feel bad for a bit, but that's because it's doing it's job, and I know it'll be gone in a few days.

Now it's just waiting a few weeks to have the immunity built up, and I can feel much safer about my interactions with friends and family. 🙂
