Some Vaccines and Rings
Today I got my COVID booster and pneumonia vaccine. It was the first time for the pneumonia vaccine for me but my PC recommended it given my asthma history that was the result of having pneumonia in the first place. I got pneumonia in 2019, when I was running for office in a competitive race. It was the combination of long days (working full-time, taking graduate level courses, and campaigning) as well as the tail-end of campaign door-knocking in cold weather.
Let me tell you this: don’t get them in the same arm. I sort of feel like the Hulk punched me in the arm after seeing a yellow VW Beetle go by. I don’t know who all gets that reference anymore but suffice it to say the left arm’s a tad painful. That said, the pain is preferable to either COVID or pneumonia. It’s not all bad, though. I’m rewatching the extended versions of “The Lord of the Rings.” I’m currently on, “The Two Towers.”
It’s the small victories these days, I suppose. Remember to look out for each other.
