The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question, as amazingly identified on Micro.blog: it’s an ice pack on top of a bandage, as part of the after-care for my skin cancer removal surgery yesterday. ❄️🩹🦵

Jenn and I are feeling super-stressed at present. Our house closing is one week from today, we’re busy sorting our stuff for take/store/sell, we’re nervous about our RV adventure (awaiting test results for it, driving a big coach, finding places to stay, issues with it, etc), and before that our upcoming trip to Yellowstone in a rental trailer (with our new coach sitting idle at home, since it won’t fit in Yellowstone). Plus today I’m getting some skin cancer chopped out of my leg, so I didn’t get much sleep last night, and Jenn is feeling very ill (probably as a result of the stress). I’m sure everything will be fine, we just need to get through this transition. Deep breaths….
Health update: I’m feeling much better now. Still a cough persisting, as these things do, but otherwise fine. Jenn is feeling unwell too, but also improving. We both did at-home COVID tests today, just in case, but both were negative. So just the normal bugs. 🦠
Still sick; my temperature dipped down last night, but is back to 100.4 °F this morning. Better than 102.3, I guess. 🦠🌡🛌
That’ll teach me not to go out amongst the unwashed masses. In bed with a mild fever. Hopefully not COVID, but at least I’m fully vaccinated, so I don’t need to worry too much about symptoms or transmissibility. 🦠🌡🛌
To celebrate being maxxinated today, @jidabug and I went to the local restaurant (yes, there’s only one) for a tasty lunch. The first time I’ve been in a restaurant (the same one, as it happens) since March 2, 2020. 💉🦠🍔🍟
Today I am maxxinated, i.e. it’s been two weeks since my second Moderna COVID-19 vaccination. Such a sense of relief. I’m still not in any hurry to go into a restaurant or be without a mask around other people, but I could. 💉🦠
I had a relaxing day in bed yesterday, enjoying a second-vaccination fever with a high score of 102.2°F, which broke just before bedtime. This morning I feel totally fine, other than some mild lingering arm soreness. Not a big deal at all. Get vaccinated! 💉🦠🌡🛌
Yay, here comes the vaccination fever! I think I’ll spend the rest of the day in bed. Totally worth it, though; I’m sure I’ll feel better by tomorrow, and won’t have to worry about becoming unexpectedly dead from COVID. Get your vaccinations, people! 💉🦠🌡🛌🦸🏼
I just got my second COVID-19 vaccination today (Moderna), at a drive-thru clinic again. Less busy than the first time, no waiting to get the shot. Easy, and now I have superpowers! Well, in two weeks when I’m “maxxinated”; the best birthday present. Such a relief. 💉🦠
