Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 11
I got my booster yesterday so I’m under the weather today. Hardly a fair state to judge a tea, but on a happier note, I think I’m almost caught up with my calendar. I have to start off by saying the dry sachet is soooo pretty with its red bay. And I got a nose full of a mix of spices, and chocolate. Mostly I got cardamon, cloves, and nutmeg, but it was hard for me to pick them out.
I don’t know if it’s because I oversteeped it but in my cup, I got more peppercorns and chocolate followed by licorice. What a strange combination! But all in all, I liked it much better than last year’s try.

Hope today is the worst of it and you are back to yourself after a good rest.
Ashman is getting his tomorrow. He had no reaction to his two Pfizer shots but is opting for the Moderna booster. I am hoping it goes easily for him.
I hope you feel better quickly!
Had a Moderna booster Friday evening (great timing for final exams!) and hit a wall Saturday afternoon — body aches, low-grade fever, swollen armpit lymph nodes, feet hurt, exhaustion, chest congestion. 12 hours of sleep and a few cups of yerba santa/rosehips/yarrow/linden had me feeling normal. Hope you overcome the booster side effects quickly!
Oooof, derk. That’s a LOT. Hope the exams went well, regardless.
Here, the powers that be are recommending a six month spread after the last shot for better efficacy, so I’ve got a ways to go yet. moderna is likely on my horizon too. I appreciate the heads up.
Thank you so much, everyone. I had a strong reaction after my second Pfizer shot, so I was wondering how my body would like this Moderna booster. I had it on Friday afternoon and I might as well have been your twin @derk. My body’s response was identical. Thank goodness it was only half the regular dose, lol. Saturday was miserable. But crazily enough I woke up this morning feeling like myself again. (I do not look forward to shots #4, 5, 6, etc :p)
So sorry about the exams. I hope they still went well. That’s rough timing!
