Got both my flu and Covid vaccine boosters on Friday, right after work. Like I always do, I got the shots in the same arm. Like I always do, I started feeling like crap shortly after, culminating in a night of poor sleep, a devastating headache that lasted all night and most of today, and a fever. The fever's finally broken, and the headache is fading. My arm is still sore and stiff, but I think I should be good tomorrow.

Downside is that I missed hotpot night with the Cabal because of it. I was too dizzy and in pain to be good company, and the noise, heat, and light would've made me too nauseous to eat. But having the worst of the symptoms fade about an hour after everyone wrapped up is still a bummer.

At least I treated myself to a (too) sweet treat right after the shot. Bought pastries from Tous le Jours for everyone after my shots, and I got a hazelnut chocolate spread filled chocolate muffin for myself. Delicious, but extremely tricky to eat while walking home on icy sidewalks in the dark. While one arm was getting sore. And carrying all of my work bags. Sigh. The ice has made me walk less, which means I have to be stricter about my diet since I can't stave off the glucose spikes as easily.
