A pop-up vaccine clinic showed up in town early this week, so I went ahead and got my booster on Wednesday instead of waiting til my appointment in three weeks. As with my second dose I spent that evening and the entirety of the next day with a sore arm and no energy to speak of. There was a great deal of sitting on the couch and petting cats, and not as much snuggling Erin as I would have liked since she had her booster the day before I did and was back at work. Today as expected I'm doing much better. Yay immune system.
One of the things about "unoccupied home" insurance is that they require that someone go over to take a look at the place every so often. I asked ex-roomie Mya if she'd take care of this, since she lives relatively close, and she said sure, so she's been doing that. Good thing, too: as of a week and a half ago the bathroom sink has been occasionally coughing up water and gunk. I really did not want to have to deal with this before I've even moved in. I tried the "ignore it and maybe it'll go away" route and instead there was gunk spilled on the floor when she went in yesterday. So I've put in a request in with the building manager and hopefully it won't take too much longer to resolve.
I've begun making a pot of tea in the mornings, since the apartment water is no longer so terrible as to quickly make a pot undrinkable rather quickly. As a bonus, I can reuse the leaves to make a pot of tea in the evening with minimal caffeine. It's been nice to have something warm to drink as the light fades.
I've been experimenting with making pizzas as well. Still looking for a dough recipe I'm happy with. I'd like to be able to start the dough around lunchtime and be able to eat the pizza for dinner, and most of the recipes I've seen want the dough to sit around for a substantial amount of time. It's keeping me occupied, anyway.
