vaccines!

I got my second dose (Pfizer) this morning at 8:30am. There was a slight mishap with the injection -- nothing serious, just the 1-in-a-thousand chance of nicking a teeny-tiny vein so it bled more than expected and the technician had to apply pressure with a gauze pad for a minute, before wiping the area down again and applying a bandaid.

I felt nothing until the afternoon, when my left upper arm began to ache.

By now I ache in multiple places and am feeling a bit wobbly and sweaty to boot, so I am going to bed in hope of sleeping off any further side effects.

And then in two weeks, immunity! \o/
