DOUBLE VAXXED, BABY!

Jun 30, 2021 19:33

On Monday I went into town to get COVID Shot #2, wooohooo! This was the first day that our previously 37C/99F heatwave got into the triple digits, hitting 41C/104F for the first of two consecutive days. If you don't think I was a giant sweat bubble by the time I waited in that heat, then took 2 buses, then walked 7 blocks to get to the arena, you ( Read more... )

weather omg, family, covid, apartment, giant sweat bubble

Glad to hear it! (the vax, not the tree!). Also glad to hear the property wasn't damaged beyond the trees.

Woohoo, thanks! And yeah, we've had some pretty crazy storms here in the past and I always keep an eye on this *other* tree in our backyard. Never suspected that the one in the front would be the one that goes down!

Glad you got vaxxed.

Hope the weather eases up for you soon.

Thanks so much! It's down to regular summer now -- with humidity today it's 27C/81F. Unfortunately, they're predicting that by Monday it'll be back up into the 40C/104F range for a few more days. Ugh!

Yay for shot #2! :D

We were in triple digits this week, too, which is practically unheard of for the Seattle area. Very scary.

Oh, and when I got my first shot I couldn't move my arm for 5 days. Like, literally I could barely lift it a mere sliver from my body. With the second shot my arm still hurt like hell, but I was able to hold onto some mobility. That vaccine isn't messing around lol!

Thanks! And ouch to you! I have been fine since that initial 24 hour period of pain.

Climate change is no joke, right? We're back to regular summer weather today (27F/81F) but they are predicting we will be back to 40C/104F by Monday and it will last a few more days. Ugh.

I'm so glad you got the second shot and had minimal side effects. I was concerned because beyond being a bit tired (which I usually am anyway) I didn't have any.

So relieved you made it home before the storm hit. Winds that powerful... That had to be super scary!

severina2001 July 1 2021, 16:02:30 UTC

I know, it's weird, right? You hear that when people have side effects it means the vaccine is working, so then it's like, "... but I don't have any, so??????" I actually looked it up after I went for my first shot to find that in trials it was 50/50 between getting side effects and not, but the efficacy rate was the same regardless.

Like you I am tired. Like you, I usually am tired. So I have no idea if this tiredness is a side effect or not. Oh, us.
