I got my second shot on Monday! In an effort to fend off side effects, I fueled up on this delicious steak from Gran Gusto to celebrate.
As I went to bed on Monday night I kind of felt so proud of myself. I was doing something important for my country. Maybe I felt patriotic? I set up all of my side effect therapies, aspirin, Icy Hot, thermometer, etc. I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my arm and my muscles ached a lot. I didn't sleep very well and was super groggy all day Tuesday. Teaching from home was clutch because JO could take care of me in between my classes. After school I developed the chills. I'm not sure I've ever been colder, even with three blankets and a space heater running. A few hours later I got a slight fever, just over 100 degrees. And then, two hours later I was feeling a lot better. Now, I just have to wait two weeks and I can hug my dad again! And I'll for sure still be wearing my mask until they tell me it's ok not to! It's a piece of cloth. Not a big deal!
This week also featured some amazing weather. JO booked us a fire pit table at Bow Market and we had a lot of fun relaxing after a challenging week.
On Friday, I had a doctor's appointment in Boston and it was so nice to see the city coming to life again.
On Saturday, it was 72 degrees out so we made sure to get out an enjoy the day. We stopped at Sulmona for brunch and dinner at Nubar at the Commander Hotel.
Wow! I'm always partial to Nubar because we got married at the Commander, but there patio is even better than in the fall. We also got a sneak peek of the renovations inside and I'm loving the navy blue and gray color scheme. The food, as always, was delicious and they even gave us a free dessert because they heard us talking about our wedding.
I can't wait until JO can get his vaccine and we can go out without being so nervous about people who aren't wearing their masks!
