So as you know, last weekend, Will and I were on a mission to be safely inoculated with the booster that will hopefully hold Covid 19 at bay.
Our sons encouraged us to change our Saturday afternoon appointments to first thing in the morning when less people are out and about, and thankfully, upon going online, we actually snagged appt. #1 and 2.
Upon our arrival, we were thankful to see very few people (awaiting the pharmacist at Safeway), all of whom were distancing and masked. The pharmacist, seeing me masked, goggled, turbaned and in a wheelchair, inoculated us with haste, and thus were we in Safeway (my first excursion in two years time) a total of six minutes before I was wheeled— past the colorful array of flowers—outside, and next thing I knew, we were safely back in our air conditioned car, awaiting any side effects that might require immediate attention before heading for home.
Did I mention that Will had asked our dear friend, Andi, to be with me, outside, so that he could get the pharmasist’s attention before coming out to wheel me inside, past all of the beautiful flowers that led us straight toward receiving the booster …
As to side effects—
The shot itself is a doozy, and discomfort in our arms lasted for 24 hours. In addition to that, we were both so drowsy as to have spent most of the day dozing off. However, with no other side effects experienced than that, the next day saw us enjoying a masked BBQ hot dog lunch on our patio with Steven and Ravi (who played with her mermaids in our spa until a jar of sparkling play dough and a magical unicorn mold appeared, enticing Ravi to towel off so as to get busy at our patio table.)
And so while Will and I continue to take every precaution to feel well-protected from Covid, our spirits enjoyed a relaxing Sunday afternoon with beloved family, and what, I ask, could feel better than that?🙋🏻♀️🔆🌻🧚♀️Annie
