Vaccines hit me pretty hard. A bit of temp, grogginess, soreness from my left shoulder traveled up my left trap to my neck. I was able to mostly sleep through the night (woke up thirsty once), despite soreness. I've gone ahead and taken 600mg ibuprofen this morning. Should have slept more, but I'm working today. We'll see how the day goes.

I'm the biggest baby when it comes to getting vacc'd: I'm useless for the next few days after. So no shade thrown!

I've been told (though I haven't checked the veracity of the claim) that walks and massages can help you get through the "ugh" period a bit more quickly. I assume it's a bit of a myth, but it might be worth trying?

Yeah, I'm a complete baby when it comes to that stuff, getting sick, I just implode.

Heavy anti inflammatory, Nyquil, curl up and ride it out is all I can do.

On my end, the rising stress level in the house and a week of early calls, I didn't sleep at all really, a few hours tops, and weighed in 176?

So either my body is holding this stress and im putting on weight I don't want, I'm inflamed, or maybe I'm just holding water.

Either way I'm not amused.

Going to go really hard on upper tonight, healthy food only today, and crash.

Well, I hoped to go hard at the gym, but I was overtired. Started out slow, ramped up pretty good, but I'm pretty stuck it seems. Time for a deload? Could be I've just been burning both ends for too long now.

Going to try and sleep in 20 min but I think a deload may be in order I've been pretty sore/inflamed all week.
