I've been pretty vocal here about how I thought Indiana was handling vaccines (not well) but they really stepped it up since the last time I posted about it, so I wanted to be vocal about that too. It wasn't too long after we got ours that they opened vaccinations to everyone age 55+, then it didn't seem like very long after that and there was ( Read more... )

I want it! I'm nowhere near the top of the list - the top of the list are healthcare workers and other people who are at risk of getting the virus in the day-to-day jobs, as they should be - but I'd love to have even a tentative timeline. I went looking and this is what I found on the official in.gov covid site: "The timeline for additional phases ( Read more... )

If you started working from home during the pandemic, what's the worst new habit you had to break/will have to break when you go back to the office (or wherever ( Read more... )

I've been on Facebook for 30 minutes this morning. A distant cousin has shared a bogus list of covid "facts", telling those of us who listen to medical professionals to wake up and stop being sheep. A friend who's smart enough to know better has shared a meme stating she won't get vaccinated for covid or chipped by the government - and Irish liked ( Read more... )

This is something I've thought about frequently since high school (40 years ago), something that rarely leaves my mind. Right now, with so much tumult in my country which appears (once again) to be teetering on the edge of a cliff, it never leaves my mind. The United States began with bloodshed, rebellion, and violence and for the past 40+ years I ( Read more... )

Irish and I still aren't going places much especially because covid-19 is spiking again. I'm pretty sure that when the governor began reopening the state, most people thought that meant the virus was gone. My sister (a nurse) says they've been seeing more and more cases, first from factories opening again and for the past couple weeks, from ( Read more... )

I wish she wouldn't. She decided it was ok to go to Georgia to spend a few weeks with my older niece and her family, which includes my youngest sister and four other people. I don't think it was a wise decision but she went. She said the flight down was crowded - every seat full, no distancing whatsoever. Today she's on her way home and has a ( Read more... )

Or is it just Americans? I'm tired of my country and I'm tired of the people who live here. Over the past couple months, it seems more and more that the majority of Americans are selfish, self-centered, incapable of compassion, and have no critical thinking skills. Also, while they're proud of being American, they completely hate and fear the ( Read more... )

I suppose it's pretty universal right now - trying to balance reading enough to stay informed about the pandemic yet not so much as to trigger an anxiety attack. I have a near-continual low-level upset stomach, which is the main way my body exhibits anxiety. I was actually fine until #45 decided it would be great to have everything open again by ( Read more... )
