My second Covid shot was either much better or much worse than my first one, depending on how I look at it. After the first one, I was in intense pain for about twelve hours, then I was fine. After this second one, I've felt like low-level ass for over twenty-four hours. I barely moved off the couch yesterday and I loathe myself for it - but I could simply not muster the energy to do anything. Today I have more energy but I also have muscle pain. The joint pain's gone now. For some reason, it's shooting pains in my abs and obliques - I would have said "stomach," but that implies pain like indigestion, and this is very specifically the skeletal muscles.
Fox also caught it pretty hard, he slept most of yesterday but seems to feel good today. So huzzah, we both survived our Fauci Ouchies.
I did manage to get a decent amount of reading done, though. I finished The Three Pillars of Zen, started A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy, and I also started The Vegetarian Myth.
I read that they're going to be releasing an all-color edition of the Attack on Titan manga later this year or maybe next year. So, I need that. I like black and white art just fine but a full color edition would be slappin'.
Today's run is supposed to be a 40 minute tempo run, but given how rainy it is, I think I'll stay indoors and do that on the treadmill. Treadmill runs have their drawbacks, but I can lose myself in a podcast since I don't need to worry about environmental hazards. I've fallen behind on Old Gods of Appalachia, so between today's speed run and tomorrow's long one I should be able to catch up.
