Meditation happened yesterday, and was good. Charlotte was delighted to be on ZOOM.

I wrote and submitted my book review and the invoice. Got paid (yay). I got a few other things done, too, and headed off to get the vaccine. In and out in five minutes, easy peasey for once.

Glad it was so close, because I started feeling dizzy in about a half hour. My arm hurts more with this version than the others, from shoulder to elbow. Other than dizzy, I didn’t feel too bad until just before 8, where I got the chills so badly I physically shook and could hardly pour the liquid Tylenol into a dosage cup.  My joints felt brittle, which was weird. Every time I took a step, it felt like my ankles would shatter. That’s new and different. It was fine this morning, back to normal, but it was a strange sensation.

Took the Tylenol, wrapped myself like a burrito in the fleece blankets, and went to sleep. I woke up a few times, not feeling great, but still better than during previous shot. I don’t have the horrible headache (yet) I usually get, and I’m not fluctuating between chills and fever. It’s mostly chills. Staying wrapped in the blankets and focusing on yoga breath helps a lot.

Got up late to find cat chaos, because Willa was bullying Bea. So Bea is back in her room with the door closed for a week or so, to settle everyone down and make sure Bea feels safe, and then we’ll try a different way to get Willa and Bea on good terms. It means I have to go out and run an errand later today, which I would rather not (as of right now, there’s no way I can drive) to pick up a few things we need. Not a good way to start the day, especially with me feeling bad.

I had a little breakfast, just toast and an apple. I’m going back to bed for a few hours, and then see where my coping skills are.

Had trouble with a Nift gift card – I don’t know why I even bothered. I’ve never had any luck with one of those actually being redeemed. I usually just throw them out. And their “customer service” is totally useless. Intentionally useless, but don’t waste my time.

Anyway, I’m going to take it as easy as possible today, and I hope I feel better. I feel just well enough to be grumpy about not feeling well. Which is definitely an improvement on the previous shots!

Have a good weekend, and I’ll see you on the other side.
