Are you hungry and nauseated at the same time?

  1. Your arm really hurts. But maybe that’s because the dog almost ripped it off when she saw a rabbit while you were out for a walk.
  2. You feel feverish. Of course, it’s 85 degrees out with 99% humidity, and you don’t have air conditioning.
  3. You’re really hungry, but also nauseated? Did you take your Pepcid this morning?
  4. You have muscle aches. How old are you? Oh, right.
  5. Your dreams are freakishly vivid — vaccine, or moldy yogurt?
  6. You have enormous bags under your eyes. The CDC should hear about this.
  7. You’ve gained five pounds. That’s definitely the vaccine’s fault.
  8. You can’t remember the name of that actor in that movie you saw. Brain fog, or senility?
  9. Your mouth tastes horrible. The CDC recommends that you eat an Oreo or 12.
  10. You feel like you’re dying. Yep, just another Tuesday.
