COVID Vaccines and Cherries

As soon as the new Covid vaccines became available last week I scheduled an appointment with CVS for both me and my husband for yesterday. We had to go to another CVS in Vienna as it always seems to be an issue trying the schedule one in our neighborhood. We weren’t looking forward to it because every time we get this vaccine we know it will knock you out and your arm will hurt. And that’s exactly what happened. Since we got the vaccine later in the afternoon we are feeling the results of it today. We are both very tired and our arms hurt a lot! This makes for the NINTH injection! But when you are in the at risk category you really don’t have much of a choice. The last dose was in March 2024 followed by an actual Covid infection within two weeks. Luckily it wasn’t horrible, but I lost my sense of taste and it was quite awful. My husband had two pretty bad days. But it could have been so much worse without having been vaccinated all along. After we got the shots we walked over to Giant to see if they had any cherries. We didn’t get any on Tuesday on our usual grocery day because our Giant store didn’t have them. We were happy to see that they had some so we got a bag and drove back home. I am hoping that we can eventually have a week where we don’t need to make any appointments for anything. Good luck with that. All I can say is that the process is so much easier than in was when we got the first vaccines. Everything is automated from scheduling to vaccination records.  We should be thankful for that.
