I feel like I'm stoned.

Seriously, I haven't felt this way since I smoked my last joint circa 1986. I had my second Pfizer vaccine yesterday morning and I've been feeling increasingly weird today. It's not unpleasant, but I'm glad I didn't have to do anything today. Brain foggy. I don't feel sick and I'm not all that tired.

Anybody else?

Pfizer Monday morn. My husband, too. We both have felt absolutely fine. Like they injected water. My arm hurt less than 24 hours and wasn't as bad as with the first shot. We both feel really lucky with our situation. Let time pass and just take it easy.

At the time I just thought it was the euphoria from arriving at the beginning of the end of the pandemic. It felt as if I was relieved of a huge cloud of stress that I hadn’t been fully aware of till then. Totally pleasant.

Even insurrectionists smoke pot.
Maybe maskholes would be enticed.

“Nah, man. Not till next week. It’s been really dry. Got some heroin, and some coke though.”

“No way, man! Just want summa that ‘Vid! Guess I’ll see if there’s any down at the clinic. Heard they had some leftovers yesterday.”

“Okay man. Lemme know what you hear. If they got any gimme a call...I mean it man! Don’t be letting’ me down.”

“K...gotta go, man.”

Born 1919 and 1922.

Also my mom would grow pot plants as a back drop for her flower garden. She thought the leaves were pretty.

It is like when I was in college at a drinking party.

I only smoked mj once in my life, but got sick as a dog, so cannot comment about that feeling.
But yesterday I was thinking it felt like being in college again throwing back beer.

Yes brain foggy. I do feel very tired but no longer feeling sick like yesterday.

It's really of benefit to both parties.
1) The consumer has someone checking in on them, in that you'd be called if reporting unusual symptoms.
2) The data compilation from this feedback will be monumental.

win-win

Lasted about 5-6 hours. Ceiling and walls weren't square. Spatial disorientation like in days of yore.

Then it was gone.

I am getting my first on Friday. I guess I should plan on just lounging around all day the next couple days. I hope it doesn't affect me like that but knowing this is common, I won't be so scared about it.

Thanks for the info!

Had my second Moderna inoculation yesterday-- at least that's done!

I expect your stoned mood will pass pretty soon.

I also got my second Pfizer shot yesterday. I planned to take it easy today but had to drive in to pick up some needlework supplies. Then as long as I was in town with my husband we went to buy some plants for the yard. After that my husband remembered we needed fresh produce.

So now I am too tired and spacey to use the needlework stuff I went in to buy. The plants are where they will be planted but it's supposed to rain tomorrow so that won't happen yet. And the nursery didn't have the plants we specifically went to buy so we have to go back Friday when they expect a shipment.

Yep, I'm foggy with no filter.
