l33tminion | Vaccinated but Exhausted

I got my second vaccination dose a week before Friday, making another trip out to Marshfield. Half of the drive was pretty at least. The bit on I-93 through South Boston not so much, but MA-3 south of that is very beautiful in the spring. I am glad to be done with the extra Boston driving.

Afterwards, I was pretty wrecked over the weekend, though I think I made things better by drinking a lot of water and Gatorade, the arm pain alone was enough to wreck my sleep Friday night and I was achy and exhausted. I get the sense I would have been better in a day if I could've just spent the whole time resting, but that was not the case. Things were mostly better by Monday, but I still felt low-grade lousy all week (though I'm not sure how related that was).

This past weekend went okay. Yesterday, I baked cookies for Mothers Day with Eris and took her to the park.

Today, we had a rough morning, kid's plan to slow-roll her morning routine backfired on her, and she had a complete meltdown. I want to teach the kid to have it together, in a way that I certainly didn't as a child and arguably still don't. She's totally out to sea emotionally half the time and I am very bad at coping with the screaming.

I'm trying to adjust things, I've been feeling pretty down for months, but I don't know if that's reemerging depression or just general exhaustion.

I slept pretty well last night, but even so it's getting to 2PM and I feel falling-over exhausted.
