Taking it easy

I’m feeling like shit this morning after getting my COVID, flu, and TDAP vaccines yesterday. I decided to rip the bandaid off and get them all done as they were doctor recommended for the baby.

I’d imagine the COVID vaccine side effects is probably what is taking a toll on my body right now. I’m achey and have minor chills after having a tough night of sleep. I was dressed, packed up, and just about ready to head out the door to my office when I came to my senses and decided to stay in today and take it easy.

I don’t see a need to torture myself when I have a perfectly good desk at home to get my work done. My workout can wait a day when I’m feeling better. I’m no longer young and I need to treat myself better.

This “power through” mentality definitely came from my Dad who ran his own business. I don’t think I’ve seen him take a proper sick day and stay home from the office. I carried that mentality from my youth and would always power through my colds and go to school/work. Turns out I was probably that gross jerk getting everyone sick.
