The things you said about being ornery made me smile. For better or worse, I've been a contrarian all my life and my husband is too. Makes things interesting at times in our relationship but when we are united in our contrarianism it's awesome because we reinforce each other. The most surprising member of my circle who resisted was my mother who is as far opposite from me as it is possible to be. She is a born rule-follower. I am shocked to this day that she resisted and there was immense social pressure on her to get it, even though she is retired. She is the healthiest person I know of any age (and she is turning 75 this year) and has not had COVID. She didn't even get the flu that I most certainly was already infected with after spending 5 hours in a car with me on Thanksgiving plus spending all day together; I became symptomatic the very next day.
