I Got Pfizer Shot #2 And It Was Pretty Interesting
I thought I could “decide” not to have side effects. I was wrong.
I got my second shot spur of the moment. I was supposed to get it Thursday, but I had plans to interview someone on Friday. So I went in Monday to see if I could do it Wednesday and the woman at the vaccine place, a former pub, actually, was like, how about now? I said sure. It was 2:30 p.m.
I went home and made a big salad and cleaned up. I put new sheets on the bed and got into it about 7 p.m.because I felt I had a good excuse. Physically I was tired. Mentally, I was wide awake, maybe even mentally aggressive. A friend sent me an edit they’d gotten. She said she felt overwhelmed. I am not overwhelmed, I said. I am here to serve! I felt good and alive but also a little fuzzy — I had a vision but it was hard to put it into words. I wrote a lot of stuff like “tk tk here talk about your brother tk stuff about school, etc. now go back to the trip and be like OMG WHAT A COOL TRIP WOW SO FUN and then get mad again about everything again but also resigned— you get it right?”
At around 10:30 p.m. I started to get chills. I took a Xanax and had weird dreams about department stores and mountains. When I woke up in the morning I felt chilly and semi-feverish and had a headache but also still possessed this…
