We had the latest COVID-19 booster on Monday. Alas my body continues to battle against the vaccine. After a restless night’s sleep of hot and hold and ruminating about getting something perfect, Tuesday’s aches and pains bring on listless pathos.

Knowing the side effects will subside, we opt for feeling wiped out in the air conditioned living room. It is just as well I made chicken bolognaise for dinner last night as today, I barely have energy to munch a finger of KitKat.

We usually have the shot on a Friday so that it does not impact the working week. No such luck on this occasion, I’m in no fit state for an hour each way commute for the weekly ‘contact day’.

I wonder if the overlords have made a decision about being able to work from home for the first two weeks in January. The new cross river rail service needs to be connected to the line I use. Adding an extra thirty minutes each way as the train terminates at Northgate then a bus service fills in the gap. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
