Got my latest COVID booster today.

Spur-of-the-moment thing when I was in the Target pharmacy.

Right now I am as sick as a dog, a lot like how I felt after my second shot back in April 2021. Fever of 101 (it’s coming down because I’m drinking water, but will probably go back up again) and head and body aches.

But wait, there’s more…I think I had undercooked shrimp for dinner tonight. My own damn fault. So my body is in full revolt.

It sucks having to go through this by yourself. Just feeling sorry for myself, LOL. Carry on.

Currently still up, as is my temp, and watching a very unfunny SNL rerun (IMO, YMMV), which is very Pete Davidson heavy for some reason.

I rarely get sick, but when I do…

Sorry for that unholy combo of ickiness. Your body will sort it out, but in the meantime lots of water and as much sleep as you can manage. Oh, and LESS Pete Davidson. Get better!

I felt a lot better the next day, hoping that you do, too...
