   late symptoms of the coronavirus vaccine?
Sunday, April 11 2021
Since we'd missed out on our usual Saturday morning yesterday, we had truncated one this morning before Gretchen went off to work at the bookstore. The New York Times Spelling Bee panagram was "confluence" with "e" in the middle, which Gretchen got first and then I got with this series of clues: it uses a prefix we haven't used. I asked, "co?" and she replied, "You're close." "Con?" I asked. "Yes!" she affirmed. After a pause, I declared "confluence!" with confidence.

This afternoon, I took the dogs with me over to the Wall Street house, where I applied polyurethane to the bathroom floor. I didn't read the instructions until I was done, and only then learned that the stuff should be mixed before applying and that it takes 14 days to cure completely. But it would be okay for light walking in a day, so it wasn't quite a fail.
Back at the house, I drank a beer and then some booze, just like the old days (though not quite as much). This made me feel kind of sleepy, though its possible I was experiencing some late symptoms of the coronavirus vaccine. So I took a bath, where I periodically nodded off.
I got out of the bathtub during dinner. Powerful had made some sort of vegetable stew with rice. It wasn't really what I wanted to be eating, and I only ingested a token amount before needing to lie down on the couch. I was acting different enough for both Gretchen and Powerful to notice. So I decided to climb into bed, though it was only a little after 7:00pm.
Meanwhile Gretchen watched teevee for a few hours before suddenly feeling nauseated. Eventually she ran to the bathroom and experienced violent vomiting. This would happen four times in total, and neither of us could figure out what the problem was. Was this a late-developing covid vaccine symptom? Or was it a reaction to Powerful's stew?
