Flu shot side effects...

I've had two or three flu shots before, and no symptoms whatsoever from them.

This time? I started coughing a few hours later, a miserable, cloggy, awful cough that fortunately went away within a few hours. I'm still wicked hoarse and my throat is a bit sore from the coughs, though I don't have any other problems... and the literature says mild side effects like this usually start shortly after the shot and last 1-2 days. Blech. Do not like.

Taking the morning off (massage!) and have many grand plans for the afternoon that may or may not happen.

Cough and phlegm from the flu shot seem to have mostly cleared up; I'm feeling much better! A bit of fatigue, still, but that could be from anything.

My massage this morning was heavenly, and I had a chiro adjustment directly after. I still feel all rubbery and happy from it.

My optimistic list of things to do did not get done. I built a fire and did laundry... and that's about it. Oh, I cleared out the nursery a little - cleaned up the drop cloths from the last big stage of drywall and paint, and moved the nightstand into the bedroom (finally!), consolidated the toys that are already starting to accumulate, and cleared the areas that will next need work.

I also took a nap and shower, scooped the catboxes and did the dishes. No programming, art, scanning, paperwork, emails or writing. I am a terrible waste of a creative person and deserve no cookies. (I TEASE, I tease... I recognize my own ridiculous standards and mock them to save you the trouble.)
