It was a chilly 27 F. when I rescued myself from the Arms of Morpheus this morning.
And once again there was a dusting of snow.
It was a chilly 27 F. when I rescued myself from the Arms of Morpheus this morning.
And once again there was a dusting of snow.
I'm in Arizona.
It's snowing.
Are you laughing?
Then I'm off to a good start.
Yes, Gentle Readers, it's the end of another week and many of you (Judy and I included) are fully vaccinated, the stimulus bill is passed and signed and checks will soon be in the mail (or however the funds are distributed) and Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend.
Wait a minute, that was supposed to be a good news sentence.
Oh well, it wasn't a bad week and I've got some advice especially for the ladies this morning: how to spend some of that stimulus money.
If you Trekkies and others are groaning right along I know I've done my job.
Now jump joyously but judiciously into a weekend full of juxtapositioned jollifications, maybe enjoy some jabberwocky, jaunty and jolly, without jitteriness or jealousness, and journalize about it in your own jurisdictions.
Oh, and always remember to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .
(Ah, just as I suspected!)
No, we don't look like that anymore but the feeling of glee is nearly as good as a fresh bottle of wine brings.
In short, we apparently have recovered from the second dose of Moderna vaccine with minimal side effects.
After struggling through an upsurge in painful neuropathy and/or arthritis in my feet yesterday I woke at 4:30 this morning feeling great and pain-free.
(I know.
You're thinking 4:30?!
Hey, I'm sorry but I'm older than you and it's usually lights out at around 9 p.m. and up by 6 a.m.)
But to get back to the subject at hand, I show no side effects from the vaccine today and when I asked Judy how she felt and if her arm was still sore she said "no".
So apparently the much-ballyhooed side effects barely touched us, unlike some of you, and we're now fully vaccinated and back to normal.
Well, in a couple of weeks and still wearing our masks and social distancing in public.
Stay well, my friends.
Judy and I will get our second shots of the Moderna vaccine for Covid today.
I've been hearing a lot from friends about the side effects they've been having.
As far as I can tell, there is no rhyme or reason for them.
Some people have chills, some have fevers, some people are fatigued and sleep a lot, some have just a slight soreness in their arms and some have no reactions at all.
(I'm counting on being in that last group.)
But mostly the effects seem to last only a few days at the most.
And as one of my correspondents put it, better to be sick for a day or two than to get the virus.
So we will march in like good soldiers and hope for the best.
Judy has a reward for us.
We're going directly from the shot-shooting arena to pick up a take-out dinner from a Chinese restaurant!
