I had my covid vaccine a week ago today. As expected I had a torrid night with violent shivers, nausea, headache and generally feeling like crap.

While that was the worst of it, I had a whole 48 hours of ‘mild flu symptoms’, followed by a whole week of feeling like the day after going on a massive bender.

I was hoping for a good night’s sleep tonight, in preparation for a long drive tomorrow, but it’s Diwali.

Which in our neighborhood means a non-stop onslaught of fireworks for several hours this evening.
