Jesse, I don't think I'll need to cook again this week.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

No reaction to my shot on the 23rd, but then I never have a reaction to flu shots.
In other shot news, shots were fired on the street in front of my building about 1:30 this morning, and someone was hit in the hip. Funny how there are six bars/clubs on this block, but the same one always seems to be the source of any violence or public disturbance.

I got the flu shot on Friday, but I feel fine. I was planning to bake fruitcake today but I'm going out for lobster rolls (!) with my sister this afternoon and the cake has to be in the oven for 2 hours. So I think it will have to wait until this evening.
There's lots of stuff to do around the house but I just did a 5-mile run and I just want to laze around...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Matt.
Jesse, I don't think I'll need to cook again this week.
Noice!
I am feeling almost msbelle-level, as I just wrote voter postcards while my cake is cooling....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I will give it another day then, and not jump straight to weird COVID symptoms.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Dana, I also got my shot on the 23rd and felt kind of not-quite-sick-but-not-right yesterday (chills, mostly, although your prickling description is apt) and not great today. I hadn't thought of the a reaction to the shot, but that could be it.
I'm lazing about sipping coffee in hopes that I will magically feel better soon, basically.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I usually feel kind of blah and have a low-grade fever (like hovering around 99.5) for at least three or four days after a flu shot, but my immune system is kind of a mess to begin with.

Y'all, I am so tired of managing my mother's emotions. So. Tired.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Aw, Jesse, I'm sorry. That's hard. Is there something nice and low-effort you can do for yourself?

Eh, it's OK. I was thinking I would love to take a proper week off, but I'd just have to spend it with her! Oh well.
