I've been (flu) shot

In all the decades I've been getting an annual flu shot, this is the first time I can remember having a reaction. (I'm fine now, other than being up with insomnia.) Not anything serious--a little nausea, headache, some fatigue and, I realized in retrospect, just a bit of a fever. Almost a normal vacation day, for me.

It was within twenty-four hours of getting my allergy shots, but I doubt that's connected unless I'm allergic to needles.

The way I see it, since I haven't had my knee operated on like Emily, I don't have any room to complain. Beowulf is keeping me company ... well, he was until I finished my toast, then he rolled over and went to sleep.
