Vitamin B12 Shot

Flagging, dragging, running on empty, call it whatever you will. I am in desperate need of an energy boost. It has only been four weeks since my first shot of B 12, but I could have used a refill more than a week ago. I wonder if I can convince them to shoot me more often?

I am surprised to hear the nurse tell me that the first shot I got was doubled in order to jump start the process. This one will have less impact. Oh, no. That can't be good. Don't they know that I am going out of town and will need every ounce of energy I can muster? I want to beg for special consideration, but I can't bring myself to plead my cause.

As with the first shot, there is no instant boost. I suppose it will gradually bolster the energy levels. I am definitely not falling as far down the tired slope as I used to. Still, I want a magic pill, something more akin to rocket fuel. Ah, me. Perhaps I shall just have to continue at a mortal pace and learn to be content with that.
