I know you may be wondering, girls, why I am quoting from a second rate Leslie Bricusse, Ian Fraser, and Herbert W. Spencer song, used in the 1970 film "Scrooge," and which netted an Oscar nomination for "Best Song," even though the song is really a redux of Lionel Bart's far superior "Consider Yourself," from "Oliver!"
All this is by means of saying I went to the Bay Ridge Ambulatory Center, at 6740, on 4th Avenue, to get my second Covid Shot! I want to thank the entire staff there, who could not have been nicer, and more organized, and made a nerve wracking experience comfortable for me.
I salute you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, girls, I MUST warn you--even if you have social plans made; like, who does? cancel them. By the time six hours had gone by, I thought I was going to avoid the reaction. But, then, at about 11:20 PM, Thursday, just as I was laying out my nighttime medication, it hit me, like a storm. I started shaking with chills, body aches, a throbbing arm, where I had the shot; in short, I was feeling rotten. I had a slight headache. I thought my meds were enough to put me out that night, but I spent a night where it seemed I heard every clock toll the hour, three quarter, half and quarter hour. Which was enough for me to spend yesterday in bed, doing absolutely nothing, because I could not. Then, somewhere around 5PM, somehting shifted, and by ll:20 last nigth, as I was again laying out the meds, things vanished as quickly as they came. Like a storm passing in the night.
It was a ROUGH eighteen hours.
So, girls, get that shot, but take heed!
Even if you manage to get a hair appointment at Sally Hershberger for the day you go for that second vaccine--CANCEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the relief walking out having done it, is worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria,
Thank you very much. I
don't know when you get
your shots, but watch
out on the second!
Writing an personal essay for grad school is not a really difficult job. One key aspect of any personal essay is how well the question is answered.
