P2 Day!
Back from my second trip to York for my second Pfizer shot. The CVS was better organized than my first time there, which was cool.
This morning Dax was super fussy about his breakfast, which was particularly upsetting to T. Dax is probably still feeling nausea, for whatever reason(s), so we've requested a phone consult with the vet today to discuss next steps. Dax is not moping in a corner waiting to die, but he's definitely feeling sickly -- eating a fraction of his normal food amount, occasionally shivering and drooling, drinking too much water, peeing too much, less energy than usual.
The stress is getting to T, so I suggested that he take a night off and go visit B, we'll see if that happens. I don't want Dax's illness to mean I NEVER get Time to Self anymore, or that I can't socialize with other people after P2+7, so I'm talking with T about how we need to give each other breaks so we don't burn out. It doesn't require two humans 24*7 to care for a sick dog.
I'm feeling stressed also -- the pace of work is picking up, T is needing more support, I'm worried about Dax, I had the drive back and forth to get a second shot and I'm wondering what the side effects will be. B's husband is in town again which means I'm T's only source of social support at the moment.
T gets his second shot next week, soon he'll be able to socialize with more people, finally.
Right now I just want some Time to Self but not sure when that will happen. I might have to settle for a nap. But first the dishes are waiting for me, it's my turn to do them.
