hits like a truck
As I mentioned, I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine on Friday afternoon. I was hoping for few side effects, as I had ambitious cycling plans for the weekend.
Those didn’t happen.
I can’t say this will be everyone’s experience, but for me, the exhaustion and “wiped out” feeling hit hard right around three hours after the needle left the arm. I crashed hard Friday evening. I was mostly better on Saturday, though it was like I was running on about 80% of full capacity.
Other than that, though, nothing serious. Get yours as soon as you’re able, okay?
I’ve got my second shot booked for the 23rd, right on time. I hear that one knocks you down harder, at least anecdotally, so I’m not making any serious plans that weekend. That’s two weeks out from the 50 mile Cap2Cap ride, so I ought to be okay, and I’ll have a few more long ones in in the interim.
Apart from that, I got a ton of laundry done this weekend, took care of the shopping, and made a kickin’ lasagna.
Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t promo my buddy Mikey Mason’s new record, Retrossance (out for pre-order now, available for purchase May 1), since he was nice enough to have me sit in on bass on one of the tunes, and give me “inspiration credit” for another. As with all his stuff, it’s quality, and I am continually bewildered that I get to call such amazingly talented people friends.
