Yesterday, Tuesday (4/6), I got my 2nd COVID-19 jab. I had only a little soreness in my arm for the first, but the 2nd … a tough night with really bad arm pain when I moved … ok when I stilled, but I think I woke every time I moved in my sleep so Wednesday started with that feeling of “I need more sleep” … BUT, I knew from 1st jab, that if I got up and moved around, the arm pain would go away and it did.

But, I was still in a state of too little sleep and also slight chills (nothing like teeth chattering kind of thing), mild nausea, fatigue …

So, side affects or just lack of sleep … whatever. After a short, a medium and a long walk with Emmett, I gave up and took a nap.

Did some work.

Everything kind of felt like it took horrendous effort.

Skipping forward to this evening … MUCH better. I did have an afternoon nap and considered a 2nd, but pushed through.

Ultimately, I got about 1/2 day of work done, nearly normal Emmett out and about and play, and fed us both – HURRAY!!

I think we will be good to go tomorrow with “normal” energy.

This date 2020:

102 year old woman… Make a List

Yes, that woman!! 102 and Zooming and making food for family and friends and generally just getting on with it! She was and remains inspiring to me.

What a crazy year, but … it was just one year compared to the WWII war years. We … as in the U.S.A. … are an incredibly whiny bunch. I am appalled … sometimes … BUT there are some stellar folks out there.

Montana Milk Moovers

And some of my favorite youTubers:

Refika from Istanbul!! She and her team are so full of joy and love for food! I love the Turkish spices and breads and everything. The above rice pudding is my Easter dessert. Go watch! Even if you are not a love of cooking … I almost guarantee that you will LOVE Refika and her team.

Lily’s Loaf … Good grief!!! This young woman started a micro bakery from her home. It is doing well. She is doing well. My favorite thing is how much she is learning and sharing from other bakers. Lily shares links and thoughts and ideas. It can be challenging to admit that you don’t know it all :) … and asking or looking for help from more experienced people … I absolutely LOVE that dear Lily is not only sharing that she is learning … but that she is LISTENING to experienced bakers, micro-bakery persons, etc.

This is an older pre-professional video from Nikki at Kitchen Sanctuary. BUT, it is going to be my Easter Dinner! And the latest from KS are super-wonderful videos. I have a number of NIkki’s recipes on my “to make” list.

Meanwhile, at the fambly Summers…

My Emmett … next to me

After the first daylight walk.

Bunny Rabbit survived until Easter morning – YEA … Happy Easter to all from Emmett and me.
