Weekend accomplishments

[pinstripe_bindi]

Saturday I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a tank. I got both my flu and covid vaccinations on Friday; that was a mistake and next year I will go back to spacing them out. I've never had much of a reaction to either one individually; some injection site soreness, maybe a mild headache. Saturday I felt like I had the flu and could barely

My COVID vaccine and the two booster shots I got knocked me the fuck out. Yes, I'm glad I got them, but that was the sickest I've ever been and probably the only time in my life I had zero appetite. Not really eager to get more boosters as I'd have to plan to be sick/arrange my work schedule accordingly.

I know, I was glad that I got them on a Friday so I had time to recover. Not that work are assholes when I call in sick, probably because I do it so rarely, but I'm just glad I didn't have to worry about it.

I like the yellow watercolor! (and yellow is my least favorite color too!) They all look awesome.

You and Jamie are incredible people for looking after your mom to this extent. Not everyone would, including myself. I have microscopic patients for adults who refuse to take care of themselves at the expense of others. I know it's not totally her fault--depression is a bitch as is mental illness--but dragging others down with you is, to me, borderline unforgivable.

Every single person I know has been doing their double booster and getting knocked the hell down for at least a day or a little more - so you're not alone! I'm still trying to find a Friday appointment so I can be angsty and whiny on the weekend without having to take a day off work. Hell, just getting a flu vaccine always puts me on the ground for at least most of the day after.

If you react strongly to one of them then I would get both at once and just get them over with. Just make sure you have plenty of whatever you want when you have the flu (for me it's Coke--real stuff, not diet--and Ritz crackers).

I'd never had a reaction like the one I just had from the latest covid shot! I never take it with the flu vaccine, and, boy, am I glad I didn't. Just hoping the flu shot isn't as bad.

I'm somewhat leery about watching The Haunting of Hill House series because of what a train wreck the remake was.

If you mean the version from the late '90s, it's nothing like that. It's not attempting to be a one-to-one adaptation of the novel. The novel serves as more of an inspiration and the series is really about how grief and trauma haunts people, although there are also plenty of scares.
