Double-vaccination update: Soon after getting home from beers with Jon, I started feeling achy, then ill, then started shaking uncontrollably. I’ve slept for most of the past 20 hours now, and am starting to feel better again.

Had our fifth RPG session last night: I think we really hit our stride, or at least I did. Good game.

The grocery store felt almost like a ghost town — great parking, no lines. I should do all my grocery shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.
