SPRING RECOMP 2021 - DAY 15
REST DAY
Not happy. Triggered by everything. Spent the last 12 hours alternately shivering under a pile of blankets and writhing in a fevered sweat. That was preceded by twelve insomniac hours curled in a ball with an ice pick jammed through my eye, like a migraine, only impervious to migraine drugs and accompanied by a sinus infection. Interspersed with bouts of spontaneous weeping to the beauty of Russian figure skating, which for incomprehensible reasons now headlines the utubes feed. I haven't been this sick since, uh, oh wait, the last time I took a fuckin Pfizer product.
So I'm going to try this, though I am surely not feeling it a bit...
This morning I am most thankful for -
* French Press full of Fresh Ground French Roast
* Feeling well enough to give a fuck about coffee
* Front Squats up, minutes pre-vaxx
* Giving myself permission for an extended, gentle, leisurely vaxx recovery
* Nothing having fallen apart, except in my head, but other than that, nada
* Clean dishes, clean sink, trash pulled
* Inside skirt, on sale at $3.91/pound!?!
* Man Yams - whole 40# carton of those bad boys for like $13 bucks, none under a pound
* Impending sun - sky's gray, but the birds know what's up!
* NOT being triggered by Pop, somehow....
* The revelation - true or not - that the severity of one's adverse vaxx reaction is strongly positively correlated with the strength of one's immune system. Ha!
* The understanding that engagement with FS diet warriors would be as productive as engagement with one's Ex, and the wherewithal to STFU when shouted down in ignorance
* Yerba Prima psyllium husk fiber - for that gut/butt connection! Why blather on about diet ideology when you can take a big fat dumper instead!?!
* a momentarily quiet house
* the prospect of a clean shave and a hot shower
So there we go! I certainly feel better!
Timed my last lift immediately pre-vaxxx (and on like 14 hours recovery) to minimize downtime. Front squats up, although I don't recall the (unimpressive) numbers. Missed my overhead press by a rep. Vaxx 2.0. Food. Then sick as a dog.
Chunky Monkey 2.0 was a significant improvement. Calories down more than 50%. 71g protein. Still too caloricaly dense at 1000k per quart, but that can be solved by killing the walnuts. Also too creamy, so less xanthan and guar gum.
Rest day yesterday. Ate ad libitem, which came in around 1000k.
Giving myself a full day off today. Back to full practice with flex work etc. tomorrow. Back under the bar Sunday. No rush.
Sun just came out!
Let's go!

Sorry you had a bad reaction to the vaccine. The good news is that you have a heck of an immune system that is armed to the teeth against the coronavirus! It's funny how the effects differ with people. I harassed my 92 year old mom to get the vaccine even though she was hesitant. She got the Pfizer and the only bad effect she had was a sore arm for a couple of days. She now brags about "her" decision to get the shot.

I got my second Pfizer shot last week for all the same reasons listed above. Plus one more....out of those who choose not to get it some are going to draw the short straw. Get the COVID smackdown and end up dead or severely sick. Wouldn't that be a shame after all the months and months ahead of wearing (or not wearing) a mask, not being able to spend time with family and friends, shopping, traveling, eating out or whatever else you feel has been taken away. You gave up all that for what ?

@kat Heard. My "experts" tell me the same. Who knows. Pretty sure both our next door neighbors were infected very early on. One dude was coughing so loud off the plane from China you could hear him down the block...

@all Appreciate the support. Have a great weekend.

@mountainman. Heard. It's difficult to both know the history and take a largely untested product. That said, I am not interested in curtailing my ability to act in the world and the vaxx passport looks to be right around the corner. Peace.

@kat Yah. I found some "chef" who told me 1/4 tsp each, guar and xanthan. That's too much for me, so going to halve or quarter that next batch. Also looking into adding eggs, which I am told "purists" use instead of the gums.

@jenge. LMFAO Wow. Apparently I have had yet another personal growth experience of which I was unaware. Just like me...

@Peaches. Sorry for your loss. That's a big toll. We have had several among our once removed circle, but no immediate family. Hugs.

@laneslate. Holy shit! I'm glad you're still here too! That's exactly what I feared might happen to Pop, who, of course, is like "what vaccine?" Be well!

It’s either take your chances being sick for a few days or possibly dying or becoming a COVID longhauler. My sister became a long hauler and most days wishes she was dead and some days, for her sake, I wish she was no longer suffering as well. This Covid is not over by a long shot and is nastier than previously known. Take the jab and Know you will live to fight another day.

TYVM, Sarah1950 for setting the "Whipper-Snappers" straight! lol Yup! I'm w/: She_loves in "hoping for the latter". :) Prayers for: Laneslate to be healthy, strong, and blessed all ways...Amen. Maybe a sauna or steam-room will help you out?! Also, you can create a sauna in your own bath-room or just close all of the windows in your vehicle, if it's a warm/hot, sunny day, or better yet, just go outside and get yourself in some Vit-D/sunshine?! Does anyone know what is going on w/the ppl that got blood-clots & those who still died after getting vaxx? Is it safe to say to stay-away from Johnson/Johnson? I'm perplexed about setting my and my husband's appts for the vaxx. I want it and I convinced him to get his along w/mine....when I set the appts., but now this blood-clotting/dying after some ppl got their vaxx is bothering me. Thanks and may God, please, bless us all, always...Amen O:-)

My Big sis doesn't want the vaxx. I need to convince her to get it. I love her very much and I don't want to lose her. Thanks, again.

Slow Meta—I am already vaccinated but there is no doubt in my mind that I would still take J&J. I have been following this from the beginning. You just have to know the whole story. Lots of info out there. For the full 411 you cannot rely on popular media. Another way of thinking about this is how many hundreds of thousands of younger women take BC pills without even giving it a second thought knowing that there is a risk of blood clots. These women are all younger, under 40 — read up on this and then make your informed decision

I'm with Mountainman2. I've had covid. H1N1 was worse in my case. Grateful I live in state with no mask mandate and very few businesses & jobs lost.
Vaccines & masks are personal choice IMO.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stay well.

Love your gratitude and sense of humor! Sorry you feel so bad. It usually doesn't last more than a day. Hope you feel better soon and have a great weekend!

What an interesting post! Thanks for sharing. I ramped up my immune system before getting the second shot and just recovered from my inflammatory system ‘s response of - Not today!!😂 Anyway, that’s how my pain and suffering was explained away to me.🤗 I hope that you feel better real soon. I am clear in that being fully vaccinated is an example of adulting at its best. Take care!
