34. This is my day after the shot, too.
Sat Apr 10, 2021, 01:35 PM
Apr 2021

The shot was at 10 am yesterday (Friday). I felt energetic afterward, which I think was due to relief at finally having both shots. I picked up a few items from a store before going home.

Started drinking lots of water, per advice at the vaccine site. They also said to relax, but I felt energized, so I did a LOT of cooking to have food ready for when I was too sick to feel like cooking.

Slept only an extra hour more than usual.

This morning I woke up feeling a little "off" like in the very early stages of flu. Slight achiness in the back muscles. A little queasiness. Achy behind the eyes so I checked my temp. It was up a few tenths of a degree over my usual 97.7, but not high enough to even call it a fever.

No appetite until after I'd been up for a few hours. Ate a few meatballs in pasta sauce, with melted mozzarella cheese on top. The queasiness stopped.

Right now I have a very slight soreness at the back of my throat that I associate with the beginning of a cold or flu.

If I'm lucky, it won't get worse than this. If I'm not lucky, I might feel sicker as the day progresses, or when I get up tomorrow.
