H1N1 vaccination
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 8:45AM 
After talking to my doctor yesterday, I decided to get an H1N1 vaccination as well as a regular flu shot. So far I've only experienced one side effect: soreness and swelling at the injection site of the H1N1 shot. This morning, it feels as if someone punched me in the upper arm, leaving a bruise. Didn't sleep well last night as a result because I tend to toss and turn a lot, and the soreness woke me up each time.
Hopefully this shouldn't last more than another day or two. Totally exhausted today, so am going to crash after I finish my Market Watch column. To those of you who haven't yet gotten your vaccinations but still plan to, I'd suggest getting it on a day when you have the option of sleeping in the next day if at all possible.
Reached my 50,000 word mark in NaNoWriMo yesterday, woohoo! Will post more about that in Inkygirl.com later today.
I created the image at the top of this post years ago as part of an Illustration Friday project. A music group called The Stowaways used it as their CD cover.

I completely agree with you Debbie.I got the H1N1 flue shot and the next day I felt like I had been out all night binge drinking and passed out on a concrete floor! My head was aching and my joints were stiff...had to take the day off! Get the shot on a Friday!
Woo-hoooooo!
Well done on reaching the deadline. I was pulling for you, when I saw you had "only" 3000 words to go in the last couple of days.
I bow down before your magnificent wordiness!
Reid and I both got our shots, and neither of us were tired afterward. The only symptom was the ache in our arms (yes, felt like someone had punched us). His lasted about 2 days, where mine lasted 5 or 6. No bruises though.
