I'm number 2!

I think I should find a better way of announcing this: I got my second Pfizer shot Friday after dinner.

Oddly, my arm hurt a bit. It didn't with the first shot.

Saturday... Oh the body aches. It was worse than the first shot. Later in the evening I had a brief bout of the chills but that passed quickly. The body aches got worse so I couldn't fall asleep. I basically stayed up until they passed.

And this is just the vaccine. If this had been COVID I'd be in big trouble.

I'm still achy today - but yeah, I'd rather a day or two of discomfort than to be really, really sick.

So when when you go for your shot take a day or two off. Eat soup, drink ginger ale and relax as best you can.

Totally worth it.
