I had a bivalent covid booster a couple of hours ago, plus a flu vaccine since I was going to be at the pharmacy being vaccinated anyhow. Right arm for both, because I sleep on my back or left side.
I had a longer wait that I expected; apparently the appointment timing was thrown off because the pharmacy had fewer people working there this morning than they expected. So far, I am feeling OK even though I climbed some stairs I wasn't expecting. I'd somehow thought that the only Green Line station that wasn't accessible was Boylston Street (which probably never will be); Hynes isn't accessible either, and the backs of my thighs were already sore.
However, I had a sweet potato pastry (so labeled, from the French bakery part of HMart) before being vaccinated, and onion soup, good tea, and a hot fudge sundae afterward. I'm feeling OK so far, a couple of hours after being jabbed.
I think the pastry was vegetarian; the soup definitely was. The server asked if I wanted the soup vegan, even though I had just asked for dairy milk for my tea. This was at Veggie Galaxy, which along with the entirely vegetarian menu has a nice patio, and is between the drugstore where I was being vaccinated and Toscanini's Ice Cream.
Between the pandemic and geography, I hadn't been back to the Central Square branch of Tosci's since it reopened; it looks very much like I remembered. I had raspberry-blackberry ice cream in my hot fudge sundae, since sweet cream wasn't on offer, and bought a pint of orange ice cream with chocolate chunks to take home.
