I Was Jabbed

Yesterday afternoon I received my first dose of the COVID vaccine. To be honest, I can't tell whether the effects I am experiencing are side effects, pyschosomatic, or side effects from when I'm about to get my period. I've had a headache all day. Felt tired. I've been sneezing a fair bit. That may just be allergies. Either way, I'm all right. I have my mid term tomorrow. This is a nerve wracking experience for me. My mom reminded me that when I was little, every time you put the words test, quiz, exam, in front of me, my mind would just shut off. I would know and understand the subject, backwards and forwards. Toss in thise scary little words, my mind would just blank. I am trying really hard to just downplay it, It will be fine, Even if things go horribly awry, what is the worse that can happen? Maybe I have to repeat the course. Maybe I get kicked out of the program. At the end of the day, I will kniw that I did my best and I have lits of other skills and hobbies I enjoy. Those are worse case scenarios. I have no intention of failing. But, if it happens, I keep going. Between studying, I try to venture outside. The girls remind me how important it is to step away once in a while. I'm glad they did or we would not have met our newest resident!

She seems quite content with her selected home. I'm glad she chose our ladder to construct her nest. I will keep you updated. It was a long day. I am iff to bed. Keep safe!
