You're lucky you have that sore arm. I had my bivalent booster shot this morning, and I feel absolutely nothing, just like all the other vaccines. At least the flu shot on Monday gave me a sore arm for a day and a half. I remain a Covid hermit because even though quad vaxxed now, if I get it, I will not likely recover because of my illnesses. I go inside for the vet, for my own doctors and lab work, and into one small food market, where I'm usually the only one masked (with a KN-95 mask) but am in and out quickly. I get online-ordered groceries delivered into the trunk of my car, and get everything else I need online and delivered to my house. Despite that isolation, what has kept me going comfortably these last 2.5-plus years are my home and garden, my photography and sharing it here and on Flickr, my dogs, FaceTime, the amazing diversity of entertaining and informative stuff on the internet, and Substack posts by people like you, Tom, whom I may never have encountered online had I not been at the computer so much. I'm getting less book reading done, alas*, but I'm reading excellent posts and informative comments from well-read people who write well. Thank you for promoting the vaccine and the new bivalent booster. If only everyone would get all the shots, to prevent infection and thus make it less easy for the virus to mutate.
*Which is not to say I'm not still ordering books. The pile grows and grows.
