Got my second COVID shot Tuesday afternoon. Had soreness in my upper arm a couple of hours after. Woke up Wednesday with a mild headache and felt feverish; checked my temperature throughout the day and it never read higher than 98F. Felt gradually worse as the day went on. Got home, started to change clothes, woke up two hours later. Headed into the kitchen to make dinner; opened the fridge and discovered that I had about enough energy to get something out of the freezer and microwave it. Headache and fever were worse. Checked FDA docs, and there's no interaction between diphenhydramine and the vaccine, so I dropped a pill and knocked myself out. Woke up Thursday morning, much better but ravenously hungry.
Skipped gaming Friday night, intending to get some personal work done, but that didn't happen. Really tired when I got home, and napped for a little while. Big mistake, waking up around 11PM and couldn't go back to sleep until around 3AM.
Slept another five hours or so, got up, got myself together, headed to the Kentucky Steam Heritage facility in Irvine. Saw a big lovely Kanawha under restoration and most of the other equipment the organization has accumulated. Met up with Sean Howard for lunch. We hadn't seen each other since, Christ, 2014? He's in Irvine now, running a PR business with his girlfriend and living a pretty darn good life.
