Tuesday. Dark and cold. The trash and the recycling can stay in the garage until next week.
Woke up at 2 am with a blinding headache, shivering so hard I could barely walk (not an exaggeration), all my joints aching, and also the arm into which the happy COVID vaccine was injected. May have been in an Altered State, but fell into one of those not-asleep, not-awake states that’s so unpleasant, and apparently fell back to sleep, because I just woke up.
I do have a small fever, but the headache is less ouchy, and I’m brewing a cup of tea before I find a breakfast bar or something like, so I can take Motrin/Tylenol and either go back to bed, or make a pillow fort on the couch.
And that was, for the record, Mister Pfizer’s little effort.
So! Calling in sick today.
Everybody stay safe.
My husband had a very similar reaction to this year’s Pfizer COVID shot, complete with teeth-chattering shivers. He was somewhat functional 24 hours after symptom onset, and mostly back to normal a couple of days later. Hang in there, it will pass.
