Everything Sounds Metallic

There are punctures in both of my arms. In an effort to relieve myself of future hypochondriatic worry, I'm squeezing in all last minute "Am I okay?" doctor's visits into one month. This morning kicked off the grand health crusade with a shot of the hepatitis b vaccine in my left arm and a tetanus shot in the right. I probably should have researched the hep b vaccine but damnit there was no time. I might develop autism now. Kaiser gave me a form to sign, authorizing the injection of the vaccine which made me nervous added on to reading the form which described the effects hep b can have on your health. So when the handsome nurse gave me the shot and I felt the liquid physically distribute through my arm, I immediately felt woozy and had to lie down. What a wuss, I know. Now my arms are left limp and sore and everything seems to have to have this metallic sound, a cold clinkiness (a side effect that was not noted on the form). I may have to employ the use of a hilariously long and twisty fun straw for drinks tonight at the sex vid show.

Other than that man...it's the fourth of july tomorrow and my only plans are to take mushrooms, maybe hit the beach. In other important news I found out that I have 22 hours of sick time left before I walk out the door of this corporation, not including vacation time! Hepatitis B cocktail anyone?
