Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/em><\/p>\n

While I am exceedingly grateful to have received my second vaccination this past week, it has me feeling pretty rough. I prefer being horizontal to vertical right now, so I’m going to keep this short. My kicks, one to seven, are that I got vaccinated and YAY, SCIENCE. But having said that, I’m going to go lie down again. <\/p>\n

What are YOUR<\/font><\/strong> kicks this week? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
