Exactly. My signature is so illegible I have been asked on multiple occasions if I'm a doctor.

I’ll have to send that one to my sister. She’s an OB/GYN so I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of it.

This may be my brain totally misfiring since I can't justify it at all, but... CUCUMBER?
[edit]
And as soon as I'd posted, I got it:

“Cool as a cucumber” could be an unfamiliar simile.
That is my interpretation (after you solved it)

Yesterday I spent in bed, mostly. I had to get up to feed and water the cat and Herself, and several other times to do the bits Herself needs through the day but other than that dozing and trying to find a comfortable position. I think my immune system went "You again? I'll have you cully!" and attacked everything just to be on the safe side ...
Today, I still have aches and pains - back and shoulders mostly - but my head is pretty clear and I can sit at my computer. (Yesterday, I couldn't even cope with the surface in bed!) I've had a couple of paracetamol this morning because I have a really busy day with thing I needed to do yesterday but couldn't (and if you know me, you'd know how rare is it for me to take pills of any kind) but they don't seem to be helping at all.
If you do have the latest Covid booster, be aware you may be out of order for a day or so following - but do have it as the virus itself is the same, but spread over two weeks ...

Covid, no less!
What are you talking about?
It was eradicated several years ago, wasn't it?
Have a great day!

I had mine the same day as you and still have aching bones ( back mainly ) I've never reacted to any of the others.

Had mine Monday, Tuesday was not as bad as you, but no fun as it affected my breathing. Wednesday was OK. Glad I didn't try for the flu shot at the same time.

Just made an appointment for my 5th jab on saturday, it will be Pfizer this time. Hope I will not have the same symptoms as you had.

I've had Pfizer every time and have never had a reaction until now ( nowhere near as bad as Griff though )

I had increasingly bad reactions to the vaccine (all Pfizer). First one I didn't feel it. Second one had me under the weather for a day. Third one has been one of the worst flus I ever got.
I won't take additional boosters unless the government mandates it, luckily the only positive of the current government here is that they won't - half of their popularity came from the reaction to the clown we had during Covid (there are equally if not more clowns, don't misunderstand me).

I got the Covid shot (Pfizer) only had some arm soreness at the injection site and felt tired, took an afternoon nap (which I never do). My wife had more of the chills and aches this time. We both felt fine after about 24 hrs.
It was the senior double dose flu plus RSV shot that knocked me on by backside with aches, pains, chills. But again only for about a day.
Hope you are feeling better.

It was ahead of its time. It was the CPU inside my first personal computer. Unfortunately, the system that TI designed around the processor was a nutty architecture that severely limited the potential of the CPU.

I was unaware of that story, thanks. But it was the least expensive home computer at the time, so it was my first love.

I know that feeling. It was the ZX Spectrum, for me.

Ah, the TI-99/4A. Had one myself, WAY back in the day.

Yes, the sound chip was ahead of its time as well, never mind the fact that the machine did 16 colors in the display.
