A Day of Many Birthdays (2nd Pfizer Shot Update)

It's so strange to me how many people in my family have a birthday today. My daddy's heavenly birthday, my birth mama's, my cousin Ceara, My uncle Donald's and another distant cousin on my great grandpa's side. That's a lot! I think I'm missing someone, but I can't be too sure. 

I can't believe how little I've blogged lately. I've wanted to, but every day that I'm not at work, I'm busy. The heat has been unbearable lately, so the only time it's safe to go outside is at sunset, so I can't really take any pics. I did manage to get some pictures yesterday, but they were all taken before 3PM if you can believe it. 

Oh, I almost forgot. LaVaughn and I got our second Pfizer shot Monday evening as well. I wasn't half as nervous this time, thank God. Don't get me wrong, I was still very nervous, but since the first shot went okay, I was hoping and praying this would be the same. LaVaughn and I both were incredibly tired Monday night and last night, like so much so that I couldn't keep my eyes open an hour before I normally go to bed, which is incredibly unusual for me. I wasn't as sleepy last night, but I was still very fatigued.

I feel better today, but there's still a little something there. Did I mention in my last Pfizer shot post that I got 'Covid Arm'? Well I did, lol. It's more common with the Moderna vaccine, but there's a chance with the Pfizer too, it's just extremely rare... go figure. It was a pretty decent sized knot and an almost perfectly round red circle that itched terribly. It only lasted a few days, but it was annoying af. So far so good with this one. It was really, really sore yesterday, but seems to be subsiding today. 

Hopefully that's all that will happen with this second dose, fingers crossed. With the Delta variant going around it makes me even more happy to have my shot. I'm so terrified of catching Covid and giving it to my aunt or brother. I'm just hoping and praying that this vaccine protects me and those around me from it and its variants.

I guess that's all for now. I do a have a few pics to share from yesterday, but it's nothing special.

Some of the many, many cucumbers.

Baby bell peppers.

Tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, banana peppers and zucchini.

Home grown potatoes.

Small onion bulbs.

Two of my precious pepper plants that are taking forever to get strong - almost there!

And lastly, tomatoes ripening in the window.
