Covid-19 vaccine appt. for non-essentials in Atlanta area can now be made via dph.georgia.gov, but it's NOT straightforward

I had been wondering what's the right way for an adult who doesn't work for an entity in the state of Georgia (I remotely work for a company in Texas). Turned out appointment can be made through the Georgia state's Department of Health website. But as far as I looked around, there's no clear information I could find, so I'm putting together the steps I found. Note I'm non-essential, live in the city of Decatur. I'm sure there are other ways to make an appointment, so what I'm describing here is just one way to do that. Also note this webpage is a blog post of an individual. You need to register yourself to wait in a line to make an appointment. Without registration, I'm afraid I would have not gotten the invitation for making an appointment.  Go to covid-19 page on Dept. of Health https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-vaccine . Click "Health Dept Scheduling" icon. This will take you out of dph.georgia.gov website to https://gta-vras.powerappsportal

1st gender reveal party (remote) success for our 3rd

Image
Chocolate cake for girl. White vanilla cake for boy. Cake comes with white frosting so you can't see the color of inside without cutting it. We ordered a cake without knowing which content, a tradition we recently heard and have been interested had we had a chance for 3rd child, which we do now! My wife m and I are expecting our 3rd in Summer 2021. We both grew up as one in 3 siblings and m has been determined for 3 kids since I remember (maybe even before we got married), and no more than 3. Knowing this will be the last, and combined with pandemic where our families have been isolated, we wanted to make it a bit more festive so decided to go for remote Gender Reveal Party (GRP) inviting direct families of both sides. I guess our plan for the GRP was straightforward...I think m got a sealed note (at a 19th week OB appointment?) in which a gender is written. Then we ordered a cake, giving that note without us opening it (so that we didn't know the gender either until GRP day),
