Post-vaccination report. My arm got sore yesterday afternoon, but it wasn't sore enough that I couldn't sleep on it. It is still sore this morning. I noticed feeling a little light-headed this morning, plus some weakness in my arms and legs. The world is a little distant. Temperature is up about 1℉. I've always imagined this is what people feel like after a couple-three drinks.

Do not like.

Just have to wait it out. Might go back to bed.

I support going back to bed. Hopefully that will all pass without too much difficulty. I had no side effects other than the sore arm this time, which was a nice change of pace, but previous years I felt better after only a day or two of ick

I thought the official election related stuff I got in the mail the other day was just informational, but one of those envelopes appears to be my actual ballot, so I should get on that. Maybe lunchtime today. That state bill my employer was worried about has been vetoed but my city seems to be full speed ahead on the California Forever expansion deal so I hope I can get enough to be happy about out of this election to keep my local politics engagement somewhat positive

dentist today. just a cleaning and they're nice, but I have found more than expected a time or two. And there's just a reason people don't say "Here's a minor diagnostic, just to cheer you up."Even when I keep it in mind that there's pretty much no "acing it"--I'm not Ralphie with the A++ And the lack of access just makes it all harder, too. (Which I know that I am boring about, but I have seen so many good liberals--mostly not here, but still-- just kind of settle back into "Since you have the ADA...(complacent pause) I have to say it doesn't feel like that. Pretty much ever, actually.

I've had 2 Phews! this week. What is up with that, Wordle?

I hope the dentist visit is boring, erikaj. I always dread the cleaning, but the last couple times it was no biggee. May it be the same for you.

Thanks, Laura. A few summers back with a different dentist got unexpectedly dramatic. Keep thinking I'm over it, but not quite.

Yeah, dramatic amd dentist are not descriptors I want to have in the same scenario. May your cleaning be brief and uneventful.

Used the water-pik beforehand--that helps a bit.

Compadres in dentistry today, erika! I'm off as soon as I exchange indoor pants for outdoor ones, and do sometshing with my hair. I love my dentist tech. She (imaginarily) pats my head and tells me "good girl" about flossing and so on and gives me the toothbrushes I like and the little fishline loops for cleaning under my bridge, and toothpaste I don't use. DH does though, so he gets the toothpaste. I get a scenic drive after, and since it's sunny today, that will be nice.

Our furnace has come on this week, and it's been welcome. It's fall, finally, and I'm glad to see the back of summer. It's usually also the back of fire season. Of course we have the tsunami warning sirens check tomorrow--it's always something. So far no volcano warnings, though. Crossing rain of fire off the list, at least for now.

Yes I had to turn on my heat when I got home after this weekend. Otherwise it was way too cold in here.

Dental both as good as expected and ran into a Dem organizer that has the same dentist. Sent her a link for virtual #NoKings--smallest morsel of fate ever. Brought Victor's book with me, so you were there in spirit, too.
