Wednesday Musings & COVID vaccine

Tweet

How’s it going? It’s 1113p in my world on Wednesday (which is my new Monday) and I am really dragging my feet. 45 minutes left of work and I am exhausted. Outside, it is sleeting/freezing rain. Yesterday morning I received a Moderna COVID vaccine. My employer actually came through for us! since we are “essential” but not quite as essential as front line workers. About 6 hours after receiving the 1st shot, I felt nauseas, general fatigue, and a bit of a body ache. The nausea went away after about an hour. Now all I’m left with is fatigue and some arm pain (it hurts to lift the arm I got the shot in! Worse than any other shot I’ve had). Next dose will come in ~28 days. I am convinced the symptoms for the next one will be bad. Only time will tell though. I got a few things done today that I was proud of-did a Target order, did a little bit of EMT studying, got 30 mins of walking in on the treadmill and another 15 at a nearby park (pictured). and ordered a cute home made Etsy gift for a friends birthday. Tomorrow, I have to work also but I plan on trying out my sisters air fryer on tofu. I have decided on reducing my carb intake... not officially doing KETO but I’m going to try to do my own thing and concentrate more on carbs than calories. I have been SO hungry restricting on calories. However, there is a ton of carbs in fruits and veggies, which is what I need to subside on since I am vegetarian. But, more to come as I do research on that. Any plans this week? Has anyone gotten the COVID vaccines- and what was your experience? Hope everyone stays safe.
