i feel it’s necessary to talk about this because i know there is hesitancy even in people who believe in science. the trade off is worth it. it’s just tough to plan and schedule downtime, and see the future rewards.

got my booster at 11am friday. shortly after going to bed that night the side effects hit me, wasn’t a good night of sleep. saturday i was tired, feverish. but i still worked on house projects. by bedtime saturday night, side effects abated. good night sleep, sunday normal.

got my bivalent booster today so i assume tmrw i’m gonna feel blah & sunday i’ll be better. tough decision to make — to choose to feel bad. but when i actually got covid (after 3 doses) i was glad to just be uncomfortable at home for a few days, not in the hospital, not dead.

like i wonder if the brutal physical projects i undertake are conditioning me and making me more resilient to change and injury as i get older… or if i’m just happily hammering nails into my own coffin

now that our yard is fenced in, can someone invent a Roomba-like robot that picks up dog poop? Poopba? Poo-bah? Scoop-ba?

had our tree guy leave this stump to be my new chopping block (previous one finally rotted out, it was a round that was cut from a tree felled in the ice storm of 2008).

also: there are lots of places where you think you can turn right but it’s prohibited. that was a fun surprise.

something i’ve observed from driving in Manhattan (not fun)
in general, you can remember the flow by remembering EveN: the even numbered streets go East and the even numbered avenues go North
(yes there are certain two-ways and exceptions)

one of my biggest challenges post-Covid (recovered in early June) is absolute and total exhaustion after physical activity. i mowed half my
lawn today and now i want to literally fall over. it doesn’t prevent me from doing physical things, but i pay for it later.
