10-Minute Warning XLV

Today my family and I needed to wake up and prepare early so we can get our 2nd COVID-19 booster shot early. And man… I want to go back to bed. I only have 5 hours of sleep. But I need to get the booster shot, so I drank some strong coffee to wake myself up.

Fast-forward to checking my blood pressure (BP) before getting the booster shot, the assigned doctor noticed that my BP is high and I need to wait for 10 minutes to calm myself and then have my BP checked again. I suddenly regret drinking that cup of black coffee. Stupid DW.

I would like to expound on what happened to my COVID-19 vaccination today, but right now I want to sleep more than 5 hours.

Until next time.

Ω

Morning, Nocturnal

“5 more minutes please”,
the nocturnal struggles.
Pillows give me ease.
Laziness has doubled.

Then I remember
the bills haunting like wraiths.
Enough of slumber.
The working day awaits.
