Today I got my 2nd dose. The experience was very much like the first dose except this time, the nurse who jabbed me is better with a syringe. It's been about 4 hours now. I started feeling hot from the inside about an hour ago. Same like the first dose, I'm feeling this constant need to eat. It's like my stomach is hungry, only its not!
My appointment was 3pm and I decided to eat one of the croissants I ordered right before I left home. They were baked fresh and delivered today around 2pm. Previously, when I had my 1st dose I got so hungry while driving home. I had a sudden craving for 'rojak' but sadly I could not find one. So this round, I decided to eat first.
I ordered this box of Danish pastry so I can enjoy them this weekend.
A photo of me after the 1st dose. Didn't bother to take a photo after the 2nd dose.
Just like the first dose, although feeling hot I do not have a fever. I took fresh coconut water to cool down besides drinking more plain water. And just like the first dose, I feel like eating and eating. Just before I started writing this blog, I ate another pastry. Yummylicious!
I ordered extra treats. Cakes to reward myself for having gotten my 2nd dose.
Even though the both of us are fully vaccinated, we still have to be vigilant because we have 2 kids at home. Schools may be reopening in October and none of our kids are vaccinated. Majority of Malaysian parents are pushing for it to be delayed. The numbers in Klang Valley are still super high.
Today, the news reported that the government is closing down some of the vaccination centres now that a certain percentage of Klang Valley residents are vaccinated. Although being vaccinated it doesn't mean we won't get infected. At least we know we won't end up in hospitals. We hope-lah.
Let's hope for the best! It's 7.30pm. Time for dinner!
