I've Had My First Covid Vaccine!

 Friday 5th March, 

I went to my local GP after being contacted on Tuesday 2nd March (click here for that post)

I met with a nurse named Naomi and she was tidy and helpful enough, giving me the details on what I can expect and answering my questions I had about it. I rolled up my sleeve once we was both ready and she inserted the needle into my arm injecting the first dose into my arm. Astra vaccine is what I was given.

What I felt was a sharp pinch followed by like cold liquid touching my skin well going into my arm so say for example a bit of water splashed you and it ran down your arm? It's basically what that felt like.

Side effects I was told about were headache, aches in joints and my arm feeling dead so pins and needles like and static basically. I felt really tired then after my jab.

Further or any more update on side effects and how I feel, I will post another update with and you can bet in 12 weeks time I will be doing another blog post and video on getting my second and final dose of the vaccine down the line.

I am making youtube videos documenting this and the first video will be uploaded soon on my youtube channel which is called: 1stmetalgod. CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO!

Any questions you have feel free to message me or leave a comment.

Thanks for reading!

THANK YOU NHS!

I'm Having My Covid Vaccine

So on March 2nd 2021 at 6pm, I was contacted via my GP in my local doctor's surgery to attend an appointment on the 5th March 2021 to get my fist dose of the covid 19 vaccine. 

I was gobsmacked I was like "what? how? Yes I'll be there for my first dose, see you soon have a nice day bye!" to the lady on the phone. 

So yeah I'm relieved and over the moon but also confused as to how and why I have been chosen since I should be relatively bottom of the list but hey I'm not gonna turn it down. 

I'll post update and give my details on the experience soon as it's happened. I am making a video documenting the events and effects and all sorts as I go into and come out of having my first dose of the vaccine.

Stay shiny and stay tuned!

Random Ramblin's 40 - WHAT?! CORONA LOCKDOWN!

Hi there, you join me in the comfort of a dark room, sipping upon blue wkd with some synthwave instrumental music on in the background. Comforting right? Oh yes i agree. Anyway it has been a while since i did a RR but here we are back again! 

There's been a lot to write about but i have expressed my worries, rants, concerns and feelings into my gorgeous girlfriend instead, so i aswell as she could take a load off our heads and just get back to feeling good and moving in a rhythm. BUT lately this year, well hey, we are at the end of April and for me this year has been............TERRIBLE! 

It's a shocking, upsetting, depressing, year and my mental health has fluctuated a whole lot! 

I won't go into everything that has happened this year but; I have lost my nan, lost someone else close, had arguments, we are in a world emergency crisis and locked-down so unable to see my woman or any of my loved ones or friends, I've had toxic people try to control me and my mrs and one tried to use us as scape goats and that my dear readers is not what a friend is or does, regardless of history with said person you do not do that to a friend or anyone ever!

So yeah this lockdown has come to be and it's added more stresses and more cracks are being unearthed in my foundations of mental stability. I am cracking under all that i have gone through this year, i am cracking up under all this lockdown and quarantine nonsense, i'm cracking, i am breaking.

Each time i think or say it cannot possibly get any worse, it does something happens and makes me breakdown uncontrollably and cry or feel angry or frustrated. The most dangerous thing right now in all this lock-down is being locked inside our minds with the negative thoughts.

We all need to take care and go gentle on ourselves!

I am a grown ass man and i have my feelings and i am very much in tone with those feelings i am a highly sensitive person and i am not ashamed to admit that i feel things and that i cry. I recently for the first time in my life cried in my shower that's how broken things are for me at this moment in time as i type all this out loud, as i cry again from my head being such a horrible force to go against me, it feels as if its trying to ruin things trying to make me not have nice things to sabotage my own happiness like.

It's fucking insane! 

It's insane to feel so broken in yourself too. It's crazy to feel insecure about yourself but also so highly emotional and to be a person with such strong empathy like myself its bloody hard too. It's hard when you feel so much that you care so much about every single little thing and how you must want everything to run perfect and smoothly too but it does not so you make back ups and back ups of back ups and so many back ups that you are backed up of back ups.

Got no work, can't see my mrs, family or friends, I can't really go anywhere and do anything because it's only shopping or exercise locally or face a fine or possible jail time in this crisis.

Only thing good about the Corona-apocalypse is the memes.
People need to stop hoarding items mind you and stop lighting grass fires and stop fly tipping!

I am living with so much trauma and grief right now. 

I hope you are doing better than me.

I will be bright as a diamond again soon!

Remember to stay shiny! 

Better days are coming!

My Corona (My Sharona parody) original

My Carona

My Carona

Ooh, my my runny nose, runny nose,

When you gonna give me some (time off, Carona?)

Ooh, you make my breathing hard, my breathing hard,

Burning up all the time, (time Carona)

Never gonna stop, washing hands, 20 seconds at a time,

Always never touch, touch your face, with unwashed hands its 20 seconds at a, 

Time, time time, ay, ay, woah!

M-m-m-my Carona

My Carona

Keep five feet away, huh, ah, will ya, huh

Far away enough to avoid the coughs, Carona,

Paranoia gets to me, it gets to me, 

Running to the shops now, Carona

Never gonna stop, picking up, toilet roll and hand sanditiser,

Gotta get all the soap, all the pasta bakes, all the bread all the milk, in time

Time, time, time, woah!

M-m-m-my Carona

M-m-m-my Carona

Na, na, na, na, na-na

My Carona

Well I've gotta isolate, isolate,

I got some time off, (time off Carona)

Will i become another fatality, f-fatality?,

Or is it just all in my (mind, Carona?)

Never gonna stop, washing hands, 20 seconds at a time,

Always remember to catch it, bin it, kill it, be rid of

My, my, my, ay, ay, woah!

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, ay, ay, woah!

M-m-m-my Carona (Carona)

M-m-m-my Carona (Carona)

M-m-m-my Carona (Carona)

M-m-m-my Carona

Oooaah, my Carona

Oooaah, my Carona

Oooaah, my Carona

Woah!!

I don't have Carona, i am just making a parody song out of The Knack's my Sharona song as i feel we could all do with a laugh in these scary pandemic times of such a crazy viral outbreak. All rights to The Knack for the song. 

I hope all of you remember to wash your hands 20 seconds a time and remember to isolate yourself for 2 weeks if you have the virus and to also catch it, bin it and kill it for all germs via sneezing and coughing and avoid touching your face afterwards. Stop panic buying in supermarkets also, everyone needs stock. Leave some things for the elderly and disabled to also get.
