Boosted 💉

By Joe

Yesterday, I got my Pfizer booster for the COVID vaccine. I was eligible because of my diabetes but also because universities are considered high risk work places. As of last night, I only had a sore arm. I barely felt the shot itself, but it was definitely painful afterwards. I basically did very little over the weekend. I ran some errands yesterday and watched the Alabama vs. Tennessee game Saturday night.

I roasted a chicken for dinner. Besides that, I watched the new Dune movie staring Timothée Chalamet that was just released in the U.S.; it’s streaming on HBO Max. I’ve been looking forward to its release for over a year when first saw the trailer. I have to say, it was far superior to the original 1984 film. What I did not realize was that this was Part One. So now, I have to wait God knows how long for the sequel, which doesn’t even have a script yet.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

Howdy, Joe. I’m pleased to report that I get my booster today. I’m a front line worker at Target. I watched Dune opening day in the theater. Really liked it. Young Mr. Chalamet is definitely one of my favorite actors.

I hope you have a great week.

  I hope you don’t have any reaction to the booster. My reaction has been a doozy. Also, that’s not me in the picture. It’s just a random picture I found on the internet.

    I am having the same issues as you did. Headache, chills joint pain. Same as when I had my second shot. Mine was Moderna. At least I pretty much know the end date.
    
    Hope you feel better soon.
