Three things for a rainy Saturday

[nwhiker]

1. On Thursday I got my second dose of the shingles vaccine. OMG. Dose 1 was routine. This? The side effects started within hours and had me in bed all day yesterday. Today I felt marginally better, still a bit headachy this morning. Miserable. Pretty much as bad as after the mRNA shots. I know they say that the side effects of the vaccine don't predict the immune response, but I still wonder: is my immune system making me miserable because it's working had to prepare antibodies against a future infection or... is it running around screaming PANIC! PANIC! INVADER! PANIC like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off? So far I've managed to avoid Covid so I'm hoping the former, but then again I think my avoiding covid is largely luck. Ah well. But yeah. Yesterday was awful. I did manage to get out for a walk late in the evening because I just had to get out.

2. Perry won his singles race for Head of the Lagoon and came in second in the double. From what I can tell the whole team (so kids he coaches) did pretty well, yay!

3. My MIL is trying to figure out how she can get a bigger apartment because she wants All Her Stuff back. There is just no way. She keeps on asking dh to bring MOAR stuff into the new place. There is already no horizontal space left. UGH. Start of dementia in someone who hoard stuff and is greedy for space just does not jive with the reality of live.

Oh and my sis and BIL are headed to Patagonia tomorrow (and Easter Island). I am SO jealous!
