NYE, I Got Tasered I mean Pfizered, Covid Confessions, Updates, and Belize Seat Sale Listicle

Taser Time and Covid Confessions

This past week I bit the bullet and got my Pfizer booster.

As for the reference to being tasered in the title that’s how it felt to me emotionally. My reason – I try to maintain a level of physical and emotional well-being in order not to need potential side effects causing drugs. Prozac is a great example, while it worked to solve a couple of problems I was raced with, the juice was not worth the squeeze. The associated side effect of bruxism (jaw clenching) was too extreme and I opted to manage myself in more natural ways.

A combination of the pandemic and a couple of cheerleaders (My mom and my fabulous friend Kin in California) inspired me to get my booster. I cannot forget past and present cheerleaders too. My good friend and well-known photographer Karen Brodie was the one (along with the two already mentioned above), who tipped my scales towards getting it in my vaccine in the first place. As for the present, another fab friend and one of my editors Sandie was super happy I got my booster.

Tip: get there early. The day I got my shot the vaccine clinic started at 1:30. I showed up about 1:25 – that got me 3rd in line.

Not only did she have stylish nails, thanks to Shajira, but my third shot was painless at the time.

I was also appreciative of the unexpected booster perk, a chance to win the Government of Belize Belize booster raffle.

When I got home my expected sweet treat was waiting. That morning I had decided to get myself a post taser reward from Casa Pan Dulce.

As I was deciding what treat I wanted, ironically I was reminded of of childhood dentist appointments. After we were worked on, we were invited to choose a toy or sparkly faux gold-banded gemstone ring. It was the same feeling of excitement at bakery treat choices to soften the feeling of getting vaccinated.

Inspirit of the holidays I chose a festive donut dotted with colorful ‘Christmas balls.’ It was perfect at purchase but got slightly smudgy in transport – still satisfying though.

Since I did not have far to walk home, I decided to circle the block and snap a few Central Park area pictures for you. It was a perfect day.
