Today was the day. It was the long awaited, time passing
slowly, feels like forever day I had wanted all vacation. It’s amazing how long
the day seems when you feel like death on a cracker. It seems to be side
effects from Friday morning’s Shingrix shot.

| A very long day. |
According to their website, “Pain, redness, and swelling at
the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and
upset stomach are all common side effects of SHINGRIX.” Starting Friday evening,
it has been all those and more. Freezing in August is fun, and thank goodness
for blankets.
Today dawned with bonus ailments included lightheadedness. Moose
needed to go out for his usual 6:00 a.m. pee, which allowed me the joy of
laying on the bathroom floor to avoid passing out. After that, it was back to
bed and sleeping on and off until 10:00.
Once out of bed, the day was spent laid out on the couch,
sleeping in hourly increments, with brief bouts of Netflix in between. The idea
of food was unappealing, which was fine, because there was insufficient
strength to prepare any. Each awakening delivered the surprise that it was earlier
in the day than it felt. Talk about a long day.
