vaccine shot #2
May. 12th, 2021 11:36 amI got my second dose of Pfizer on Monday around 5pm.
Thom and I used my Vax+Shop coupon to get Cold Stone and ate it across the street in the Christian Science Center by the children's fountain -- and took a selfie and sent it to my friend Holly :) (who used to live in the area and had suggested we have our ice cream at the reflecting pool).
We came home and had dinner and went to bed at like 9:15pm. (Thom was exhausted, and I was tired, so I rested for a while while she slept next to me.) I woke up around 1am with chills/shakes for like 2 hours and then kept waking up maybe every hour-ish to stretch/move my aching body and get up and pee and check on my low-grade nausea. Thom was working from my place on Tuesday to baby me if necessary, but mostly I just stayed in bed all day. Like, I did not shower with her, but I did get up to have breakfast with her -- I ate like 8 saltines -- and read the Internet next to her at the dining room table until like 11am, when I went back to bed, where I mostly stayed until this morning (mostly sleeping).
This morning, I considered calling out sick again (I had pre-emptively put in for a sick day yesterday), but figured I would try being a person, and take additional sick time if needed. I showered, got dressed, logged on (so glad to be WFH rn), did some work, ate some food (yogurt and more saltines, yay).
I have a little bit of a headache, but the body aches and low-grade nausea mostly seem gone. Just tired still.

Pfizer's been approved for 12-15 year-olds, and Children's Hospital emailed Thom on Tuesday to schedule an appointment for their 15-year-old \o/ So Den gets shot #1 this Friday and shot #2 on June 4th, so our whole pod has full immunity on June 18th.
