Do you ever yawn when you’re exercising or working out? I do — so I looked up why it happens. When your core temperature fires up as a response to movement, a yawn is induced to cool your brain down. After Wednesday’s Moderna #2 vaccine, there was no yawning on the treadmill for me yesterday. My brain was not heated up… it didn’t even function much until evening.
After I posted how awful I felt yesterday morning, I struggled through a hot shower and a 30-minute SLOW walk on the treadmill. Then, I fixed breakfast and napped for about an hour. When I woke up, the headache was all but gone. Still tired, I did regular desk work and early afternoon took another slow stroll for 30-minutes. By night, I felt VERY tired, but not sick. (Maybe only tired because I didn’t sleep well the night before.) By evening, Perry was feeling almost back to normal, and Jerilyn’s fever was gone.
When I awoke this morning, I felt totally normal. My arm no longer feels like I was knuckle-punched and I only know it’s sore if I mash on the injection spot. I have ZERO symptoms or side-effects remaining. Isn’t it weird? The power the vaccine has to make you feel totally awful… and the power it has to make you immune to this horrible virus…
Hang in there, Beast — I know you miss us! We’ll be back soon.
Even better news today for my business and many others…
TIL (Today I Learned): The DEA raided Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate in 1987. It removed the poppy plants that had been planted continually there since Jefferson was alive and using opium from them.
