Poke in the arm for justice!

chanter1944I note, for both the greater good and the tangible, local good, that I received the latest Covid vaccine earlier today. I barely felt it, and I do mean that. The flu vaccine was much more noticeable, don't ask me why. So far, there's extremely mild arm soreness to note, mostly if I mess with the injection site, and that's it. Oh, and the low-grade warm fuzzies, but does it really count as a side effect if it's beneficial? :)

There were all kinds of vaccinations going on while I was in the pharmacy, too. I counted at least two others who definitely got one or more vaccines (as in Covid and flu shots together, I've done that myself in the past) before I left. This information made a local friend's day slightly brighter when I passed it to him. He was having what sounded like the mother of all rotten weeks, and I figured he would appreciate news of people taking care of both themselves and each other through science. I was right.
I know I have a longer, friendslocked post to write, but at the moment, I've got something of a mellow glow going, and I'd prefer to keep it. I haven't forgotten, I just need to be in the correct headspace, and this isn't it.
