Wowser! That second Covid vaccine wiped me out for 36 hours, as predicted. I had chills, and lethargy like I have never experienced. No fever. Once my babies went home, I went to sleep at 6:00 p.m. Bill said he thought I had died in bed. I was in such deep sleep.Woke this morning energetic, no symptoms.
Some things I heard this week that made me snicker, raise my eyebrows, and wonder about rude people.
I gave the boys a pan of uncooked rice and plastic eggs to fill and then crack open. When they hooked the tops and bottoms together I'd say, "Oval."
Two-year-old Charlie insisted, "No, Nanny! Pac Man!" He no longer calls me Nana, he likes Nanny.
When I received my second vaccine, the nurse advised, "Do not take pain reliever. Drink Gatorade to keep your electrolytes up." Then she leaned in and said quietly, "And if you get a severe headache, drink straight tomato juice." She might have been an alcoholic.
I stopped at the Goodwill store. There was a little, old, Italian woman with her older teen grandson ahead of her in line. As the young man at the register was ringing up the boy's purchases, the grandma snatched the sports jersey out of his hands and said, "Now-a you ah listen to me. I will a pay for this. You no seem a too bright, so let me explain. You a take off that price and put it on a my order. You ah get that?"
Oh dear. It's not that the clerk looked "ah not too bright" he looked stunned.

So sorry you didn't feel well after the second shot, Linda. My daughter got pretty sick as well with a fever too. It's good that you got the vaccine though. That was a funny story about the woman at Goodwill. I always enjoy hearing your delightful stories, Linda. : )

I must have been lucky. No reaction except a sore arm either time. Glad you're feeling better!
I like your Italian accent, Linda. I had a headache and chills after the J and J vaccine but I was glad I got it. One and done worked for me. Take care and have a great weekend. Susan
I've never heard of that particular headache remedy, so thanks for teaching me something.
I'm glad you're back to normal. And as far as the grandma is concerned, I bet if she were talking to HER grandson, she'd insult him, too, and maybe give him a slap. But I bet the two young men were equally embarrassed from her "plain talk".
I had an Italian landlord. He called every female Maria, and if you told him you needed some maintenance done in your apartment, he'd say, "I'll fix a you up."
Linda--I had no side-effects from my "one and done" stab. I'm sorry you had such a rough time, but I'm sooo glad you're vaccinated.
Nanny. I love it.
I suppose that like you have to spend money to win money at a casino, you have to feel sick to get healthy with the vaccine.
I am not looking forward to the second shot. Not for me, but HeWho! He seems to think the list of "possible" symptoms he might have should all appear and then I have to listen to him complain! He's ah not ah too bright and highly suggestible!
