Got my first Pfizer jab on Tuesday; so utterly sensation-free that I became paranoid that the nurse administering the shot might be up to no good. But Wednesday morning I woke up knowing better, with the injection site absolutely screaming NO TOUCHY! at me every time I moved. So I took a day off to wear an ice pack and sit around going, "urrrrrrrrr."

Now I'm really looking forward to my second shot! Ha! Still better than COVID itself, of course.
