Aww, oops, Siniri! I guess you'll be a few days ahead of me then.

[Blue]

Bummer, Siniri. But, you are generally way ahead of me on everything

Day 1 - No Matches, 1.5k

Now the challenge is - remember to spin every day. I have not been all that great at doing so lately.

[Siniri]

Day 4: 5.5k again, but this time with no matches

So. Tired.

[Siniri]

day 5: matched 2, 7k

Me, too, P. I came home from the solidarity march yesterday and fell asleep at 5pm. I ended up waking up hungry in the middle of the night, then finally managed to go back to bed and slept a total of 10-11 hours. Still really tired and light-headed today. My fatigue has been getting worse each day since I got the vaccine. Not sure whether it's related.

[Blue]

Day 2, no matches, 2.5k

Me three . I too am just kinda wiped out. Seems like it should be completely unrelated to the vaccine, but I'm not sure. Digestive tract has not been the same since about 30 hours after the first shot. Today, my legs and joints therein absolutely ache. No matter how tired I have been in the past, this is not normal.

That coupled with an insane sinus headache. Ugh. Early to bed tonight!

ETA: Day 3, no matches, 4.5k

Head is much better today. Joints only moderately better.

I'm 100% sure my exhaustion isn't vaccine related, since I haven't had it - I just need to catch up on sleep. I may go to bed early tonight, we'll see. I hope the two of you feel better soon!

[Siniri]

Day 6: 14k (RLB)

Wow, I'm already at the good days. Now for some matches!
.
Doing a bit better today. My joints were sore the second day after my vaccine, but they cleared up pretty quickly.

Legs still sore. I am sure this is from something else other than the shot. Could be weather, could be from a couple of days over the last week and a half of working on the truck in the street in the cold and wind for many, many hours on end each time... With each of those days bookended with a 4+ hour drive each way. Yeah. That wasn't fun. Oh, and I quit taking Zyrtec-D on Sunday after (probably) taking it for too many consecutive days. Of course, I only take half the recommended dose (1x in the morning only). Was really helping my sinus congestion. I may need to start it back up if my head will not stay clear and happy. Far too many temperature swings lately and the pollen count is super high...

Who knew there was a "pollen count" website? https://www.pollen.com/forecast/current/pollen/30303

Congrats to Atlanta for making number 2 on the top 5 list today...

TKD kicked my butt today. I guess that's what I get for ending up taking 3 weeks off due to lack of time while we were away. I have to test in two days. Here's hoping I survive it!

[Siniri]

Haha, yeah... People complained about the high pollen in VA, and then I moved to NC, which said "hold my nectar"... and then GA said "don't hold anything 'cause I'mma make you sneeze!" Atlanta is the city of trees, yay! (Our record high of 9369 ppm^3 is "only" 6 times the cutoff for "extremely high" at 1500 ppm^3 (I think the scale is broken), but it's actually nothing compared to Austin, whose record is 32,000 ppm^3.)

When it's over 5k or so, you really shouldn't be outside without a mask, even if you don't have seasonal allergies (I don't). You can taste it. It gets into your lungs and sinuses. You'll be coughing it up, and your eyes will be leaking it for days. It actually gives the sky a greenish tint.

But it says we're near our seasonal high, so that's good news! Usually that comes in April. I knew it was bad early, but if it ends early, that'll be okay.

Oh, Trudy... day 7, matched 0, 10.5k and Washed Up Sandcastle Foreground

Good luck on your TKD test, Pickles! Blue, take care of yourself! Hopefully the truck is done for now.

I'm sore as all get out today - can barely move without something hurting. Tomorrow will stink.

Here's hoping the pollen levels go down all around!

Left leg is somehow more sore than yesterday. Weird. P, hopefully you are less sore today! Ugh. Tasting pollen and in your eyes are no fun. No fun at all.

Truck is done. After two days working in the street, I had it towed to the local dealer. They fixed what I did not have any desire to do... and they found I problem that I would not have found the easy way. The hard way would have been catastrophic, so it all worked out for the best in the end. Well, best for everything except for my wallet... Just glad it is done and that area of the engine should be "trouble free" for years to come.

Well, day 6 RLB and day 8 match aren't terrible. Slightly above average round, I guess.
