One for Me, Two for Hawk

canyonwalkerAfter I got my first Covid-19 vaccine shot yesterday, Hawk got her second this morning. We are both experiencing reactions today.
After not really experiencing any symptoms yesterday (I got my shot at 4:15pm) or early this morning, I felt sluggish this afternoon. I checked my temperature (I've done this once or twice a day anyway as an early-detection precaution for Covid-19) and found that I'm running almost 1° F hot. Then I took a nap for a few hours in the afternoon.
In a way I am glad for this reaction. It shows my body is reacting to the fake virus in the vaccine, recognizing it as an intruder and building natural defenses against it. This is what we want to happen.
Hawk's having a similar reaction to her second shot of vaccine. After getting shot around 9 this morning she's feeling achy and sluggish this evening.
We downsized our dinner plans from making tomatillo chicken. "Let's order a pizza," Hawk suggested. You know I must be running a fever because I said No. 😅 Instead we made easier comfort food: mashed potatoes and green beans for her, and frozen ravioli with fresh meat sauce for me.
