i spoke too soon the other day about vaccine. i got the swollen lymph node arm pit thing. it’s nbd. so i’m taking some immune supporting things plus i work out every day so that has to help. anyway it’s more of a nuisance than anything. fiona got her first vaccine yesterday. poor dear passed out from anxiety and had 4 emts assist her and then ultimately wheel her out of the building. she’s fine.
i have this shirt and i need at least 3 more of them. it’s the softest thinnest white cotton button down crop that isn’t see through. it’s a long sleeve summer shirt should you ever need something like that. if you don’t like showing your arms but don’t want to roast to death or whatever. highly recommend
i had a very intense dream about a grizzly bear last night and i felt compelled to google bear dreams. it just seemed like someone (myself) was trying to tell me something. yell at me in fact. here’s what i found:
Bears contain multitudes: Highly intelligent, they form hierarchies within their ursine societies and sometimes share resources, despite their reputed preference for solitude. They are also very cute (from a distance), shambling around the forest on stout, shaggy legs. This wealth of characteristics may help explain why dreams about bears “tend to have several meanings,” according to Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, a professional dream analyst and author. One of the most common ones, she tells the Cut, involves a simple play on words.
“Subconsciously, there’s a bear in your dream to represent some situation … in your life that is very difficult to bear, or someone [who] is unbearable,” Loewenberg explains. Similarly to dreams about snakes or dreams about alligators, this interpretation of a bear comes with an element of anger or frustration here, signaling a hostile presence in your everyday life. If you have a dream about a bear menacing you somehow, Loewenberg recommends you think about who or what currently makes you feel threatened. (And please see also: our guide to interpreting dreams about practically anyone.)
i know it’s all straight up kooksville but sometimes we need a little extra.
i bought these shoes for the house. like a summer slipper. if you stand on a wood floor and cook dinner every single night - you’re welcome. i got the yellow.
have a great weekend!
i’m fine! more than fine. i’m apparently the 1 in 10 who have no side effects from this vaccine.
here’s what i did if you want to follow my steps- (though it’s a mystery to scientists as to who gets side effects and who doesn’t and here’s a great article on that.)
step 1. - i ate something before leaving and i brought a BIG glass of water with me and i downed it right after i got the 💉.
step 2- got home and continued to drink water consistently for the rest of the day. like, a lot. had a small glass rather than a big glass so that i would have to continue to fill it up thus reminding myself to drink. i’d say i would drink half that glass every 20 minutes or so on average. sometimes a little more sometimes a little less in quantity but ALWAYS EVERY 20 MINUTES.
sidenote- this was more water than i typically drink for sure in a day and it was pretty eye opening to me in terms of how fatigued i am pretty much all day usually. i thought is this the vaccine?? why do i feel so good? i think i can attribute this to the amount of water i was drinking. BIG DIFFERENCE.
anyway…
about 6-8 hours after the shot i still felt fine (if not GOOD) and was like…did i get a fake shot? i didn’t even feel sleepy or woozy which i did almost immediately with the first shot. the wooziness subsided almost as quickly as it came but the sleepiness stuck around for about 2 days. but again, this could also be attributed to the fact that i feel like this CONSTANTLY anyway. so, i was still taking it easy just because i had planned for a man down situation. my arm started to feel a little tender around now.
my arm hurt the first time so this was also expected. although my arm started hurting much sooner the first time and much worse. i got the first shot in my left arm and that was a mistake because it’s my sleeping side. do not do that if you haven’t got your shot already. get it in your non sleeping arm. trust me. it hurts most when you put pressure on it as opposed to activity.
step 3- i had planned on taking an advil about 6 hours after the shot to stave off any aches/fever. i still felt good so i held off. i would take an advil right before bed no matter what. i armed myself with 2 huge glasses of water and said advil, swallowed it and got into bed. i had heard that most people start to feel like assdong about 10-15 hours post shot so i was definitely not in the clear. i was more anxious than anything trying to get to sleep. i just kept thinking am i gonna wake up at midnight? 3 am? feeling like i got into a car accident?
it never happened. i woke up and still felt fine. zero symptoms. in fact i think i was trying to invent symptoms! if i had to report anything unusual it would be hunger. which again, not that unusual for me but it was a hunger that was more like a craving. if that makes sense.
here we are almost 48 hours later and i’m still fine. who knows maybe there is some latent side effect situation but all doctor google has provided is that arm thing that happens to some people.
so that’s that. drink water i guess. but do that anyway. because i still think it’s pretty random
well if this isn’t exactly where i’d like to be right now.

same.
also collectively breathe a sigh of relief that all that furniture your hoarding is maybe going to live in a TBD mansion one day. so tell your husband to STFU.

sidenote- getting my second shot today. what are the odds i am going to feel like hot garbage? any tips?
there’s no rule that says adults can’t receive easter baskets. there’s also no rule that says everything has to fit inside that basket.
these shoes are what i would have wanted as a girl to wear on easter sunday with a dress way too frilly. once i was parading around in my easter dress and fell down the stairs in front of everyone. scarred for life. i may as well have shit my pants. anyway today i would wear them with jean shorts.
these pillows are on my short list. they are always sold out before i have a chance to buy. 💩
a few pretty new masks are certainly an excellent easter basket addition for anyone. butterfly. blue floral.
homeopathic allergy relief says i see your red eyes and snotty tissues all over the house and i care.
this candle sounds amazing. they all do.
a new suzani for the bed. this one is my fave.
a new tray to corral the things.
thanks easter bunny. (seriously, those shoes tho.)
hi. maybe i just post on saturdays now.
do yourself a favor and go grab a copy of the new architectural digest and lick pages 96-107. the milan apartment of the la double j woman, j.j. martin made me feel actual things when i started turning the pages. like heat rising. just as i was ready to paint everything white like a kind of leanne ford zombie, this showed up to save me. KNOW THYSELF.
