Holy Cow! Crazy day yesterday and the biggest craziness was how fast the “bad” stopped. A day of feeling like every movement was VERY difficult and kind of mildish flu-like symptoms that just disappeared early evening. Like a 24 hour bug … BAM, they were gone. I am not complaining at all, it was just a bit bizarre!

And then, a light supper, a last walk and to bed 8:30ish … slept well and today, I feel 100%.

So, that is my experience. If you trawl the internet, you will find other … most in the 48 hour range. Mine was about 30 hours. I got off light and in theory, a reaction is indicative of a strong immune system. I think there is a lot of unknown, but I am happy to have my 1st 2 jabs complete and hopefully they work as advertised. I intend to follow CDC guidelines of continued masking, distancing, etc.

And speaking of CDC. My vaccination clinic handed me a flyer from CDC which had info for signing in with the intent to report after affects. I did and do and I hope everyone (U.S.) did/does but I am not overly optimistic… It IS the best way to collect data and to gain understanding of how the vaccinations affect people. So. If you have yet to receive your vaccination and are given the CDC request … PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE register and report your experience. You will be benefiting all of us!!

Off my soapbox, but honestly … it is easy to complain about lack of specific information and then easy to say … Oh, I can’t be bothered with “reporting”…

On to the weather.

We started overcast with a forecast of rain/snow/wind…

But there was some blue sky bits…

I tried to make up for yesterday with Emmett … He was a champ!! He has always been in tune with me and been kind of a Nurse Emmett with me as well as with Auggie. Yesterday, he seemed to understand that I was not 100% and did not pester for walks or play, although I did my best to stick to our schedule.

Today, we had extra of everything: walks, play and TREATS :)

We arrived home, from a beautiful long walk … just before it did this…

Graupel.

And then the sun came out and melted it all…

We had a beautiful day … BUT as I am writing this post … first it thundered, then a whoosh of wind and THEN…

It is graupel, not snow so I don’t think we can call if thunder-snow, but it is a bit unusual: thunder and graupel ???

Still, I am thrilled to be feeling 100% so … a beautiful day … bizarre weather or not :)
