A very appropriate quote for a very special 2nd dose day ?

vivastory Congrats on the second dose, Ana! 👏👏🎉 4y
Hooked_on_books Fauci ouchie? That‘s awesome. 😂 4y
Librariana @vivastory - Thank you so much, Scott! 😁😊 My husband advised I stay home in case I started experiencing more intense symptoms/side effects and I'm glad I did. Right now I'm battling a headache, a *very* sore arm, and some lethargy, but I was trying to be a trooper about it and just deal... That ship has sailed and I'm gonna reach for some meds! Very grateful to've gotten my second dose no matter what! 4y

Librariana @vivastory - Also wanted to add... how are you doing? Hope you're holding up as best as you can 💜 Hope your family is as well! 4y
Librariana @Hooked_on_books - isn't it the best, Holly!? I heard someone say it some time back and I was like "that's brilliant!" When I got to my appointment yesterday, the airman at the counter asked if I was here for a vaccination and I very excitedly told her "Yes! I'm here for my 2nd Fauci ouchie!" and she chuckled so totally worth it! (They're all usually very serious.) 4y
vivastory I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking! I have days that are better than others & will find myself suddenly emotional after seeing or hearing something that might trigger a memory. Still processing everything.. 4y
Librariana @vivastory - That's to be understood 💜 Grief is a part of loss and not something that just gets swept under the rug or is easily dismissed... it has to be felt and processed. I hope you'll continue to be gentle with yourself and that it'll get a little bit easier with time. Virtual hugs to you! 4y
