I HAVE 5G UNINTERRUPTED!!!

(Well, no, I don't, thanks Federal conservative Government for stymying the fibre-optic plan before it ever got off the ground because "we'll never need that much bandwidth" - ahahahah, Andrew Constance, I hope your office got a BAJILLION angry emails during the last three years when high-paid execs couldn't do anything on those copper-pair cables while their kids were on multiple private school Zoom classes. If I had any kind of magic instead of being about as sensitive as granite, I would surely curse you that you would never travel anywhere uninterrupted again, and that your household and office internet would be forever slow.)

I got the 5th jab (3rd booster) shot yesterday afternoon - Pfizer Bivalent BA4-5. We have rising cases across the country, and while I appear to have been lucky thus far in the pandemic (I have persisting respiratory issues, but every time I go for a test I come back negative) I am disliking growing older and the limitations that brings, and I should really like to avoid getting COVID as much as possible.

They said typical symptoms included a sore arm, headaches, joint aches, and a bunch of other symptoms. All I have is the sore arm, which was a bummer because I side-sleep at night. Ow. They warned that there was a very slim chance of more dangerous reactions such as trouble breathing and chest pain and to go to the hospital immediately.

Nothing so dramatic for me; it's just the sore arm.

Getting older is not fun with how the body changes and feels things more.

Use ice, it helps. I did that the night of the day I got the jab and it helped a lot.
