Took my second dose of Pfizer yesterday. I had unpleasant but manageable side effects after the first shot; translated, I felt like crap but I managed to slog my way through the last two days of work for the week. The aftermath of this second dose is a whole 'nother train wreck. I woke up to a fever, body aches, and was more tired than when I went to bed. According to more than one doctor, I have a "robust" and "strongly reactive" immune system, so I expected side effects. I wasn't quite prepared for this. It'll pass, but I'm not a fan.
Anybody else taken the vaccine and had issues? BTW, I wanted to wait until there was more long term information about the long term effects, but I got backed into a corner. I am in regular, close contact with two immune compromised people and the rumor at work is that we don't have to take the vaccine, but we don't have to work there either.

I had the Pfizer vaccine. First one left my arm very sore for a couple of days. Second one burned more going in but had milder after-effects.

I called in sick yesterday and today. I'm feeling better this evening, but my arm still feels like Babe Ruth used it for batting practice.

Now 9, you know the men in black told you not to tell anyone about those little side effects.
I like you and all that, but their non-taxable $10,000 per tip is hard to pass up - especially when I need plastic surgery to get rid of the new nose by my left ear ;-)

Wonder how things are going with the no mask thing now in effect. Nevada went this route on Saturday, May 15th, with me going to Hobey's, a local casino/ restaurant. Entered the place with my mask on, right to the restaurant for early supper. No mask while eating and many people with and without masks in the casino. Afterwards, tried the slots, broke even, went home. Time there (total) was maybe an hour or a little past that. A few hours later, go to bed, but not for long. Wake up trying to cough up a lung and nose is running like a wide open faucet. Been smoking 40 years now and NEVER have I EVER coughed like this before. So bad that I decided I'd go to the VA emergency room Tuesday if I wasn't getting better. I did...kind of, sort of. Still got the hack, but not as hard or long as it had been in the beginning. Nose still dripping, but again, not like it was originally. While gambling, I smoked by taking a puff, exhale and put the mask back on.
Been back a couple of times, doing the same thing as far as eating/smoking. A lot of people are going maskless, but still see many others with theirs on...and that includes in the stores. And I think it's Oregon who will REQUIRE you to prove you've gotten your shots to enter any business, etc. without a mask.

Well, we have the completed cards for two shots of the Pfizer vaccine. We've had the cards for a while because our physicians group always seems to be on top of things like this and they sent out email of "Contact us if you want the vaccine." They were using an empty floor in one of their admin buildings as their "vaccine clinic" and they had people scheduled zip - zip - zip going through the two page "Have you ever?" questionaire and then to the sign in desk and then to a nurse for the shot. All in all, nicely done assembly line ;-)
We've been out to eat twice in the past year and we've done takeout. We'll sort of makeup for not going or doing later this month when we meet with some other family members about 100 miles from here for the weekend. Probably putting out some flowers at the community cemetery where a lot of my wife's ancestors are buried, eating out somewhere (nice place next to the Hampton where we have reservations), the ladies probably doing some shopping and me maybe working on another chapter of one of the current stories: I got a couple of chapters from my muses this week about where Jack Wilson originated and some explantion of him being in different places and being married multiple times. If anything more develops, it'll be a fun short story. If not, it might be an intro to another book - if there is another book - not optimistic with how little my muses have been able to contribute this year :-(

Yeah, sometimes those muses are SO damn fickle. Now they're complaining about hearing the same music over and over, so now listening to Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, Party Like Charlie Sheen and Workin' The Pole by Scuzz Twittly. As to that last one, VERY interesting video. Of course, the speakers are CRANKED up. On page 3 of Tale Of Two Brothers, some ideas for Thor's story, added more to another iMom chapter. But still need to get back to I Love The Night Life and Xray.

Our County has announced that 95% of the senior citizens have been vaccinated so they're re-opening the Senior Centers at full capacity.
Not that we've used them, as they're not that convenient for us. The Silver Sneakers perk (local gym membership, among other things) that came with our Medicare Advantage plan gets us into an almost new LAFitness that's closer than any of the Centers.
Now to see how much, if any, the Delta Variant of Covid-19 changes things...
