43. Got my second shot of Pfizer last Wednesday

Tue Feb 23, 2021, 04:41 PM

Feb 2021

I had already put in for PTO on Thursday just so I wouldn't have to battle any ill effects at work.

Turns out I got a free off-work day lol. I had a bit of a headache Wednesday night and my arm was a little bit sore but no more than the first shot which was also pretty mild. I could easily have worked but my boss said I have plenty PTO saved up and needed to burn some anyway so don't worry. I didn't worry, I drank beer and made hamburgers and watched TV.

Been fine ever since except now I have to get more beer.
