100% better

The weather and me are a lot better today.

Let's start with the weather,  after a morning of dull cold miserable rain, the sun made its's  way through the clouds and it ended up being a lovely afternoon.  Today, we have more sunshine, however, the humidity is building from the rain yesterday.   The mosquitoes are getting quite bad  from all of the standing water around.  We change the bird baths daily to avoid us from contributing to the problem.   When they bite me, I use the Benadryl  spray, it works wonders on my bites, but I need to use it as soon as possible to avoid those nasty itchy bumps.  It's better than taking a tablet internally.

Now me.  as I mentioned previously I went to the Dr. as I had had a problem with some pain for about three weeks.  I will not bore you with any more details, however, since that visit the pain has all but disappeared.  Making me think I was in the most part, worrying about  it  which caused it to  feel as if it was getting  worse.  The mind does some strange things.  Anyway, feeling a lot better about the issue.

Today, we are as immunized as we'll ever be, which is a good feeling.  Looking forward to doing more and not worrying as much as we were.   I hope one of my granddaughters and her Hubby  will get theirs soon.

I don't normally talk about religion but today will ........I don't want to offend anyone reading this but, I need to vent, as I do not understand the reasoning, you may, and I respect you for that.  

The above mentioned GD and her Hubby, he is a religious man,  have not received even one of their shots and both are eligible to do so.  Their ages are in the age group that are contracting the Delta variant, which is more serious than the previous one.  I worry about them.

GD had, years ago a reaction to a tetanus shot at which time she needed to get some medical attention, I can understand her hesitancy in getting the Covid vaccine, however, talk to a Dr. and find out what, if any reaction she could encounter.  I don't believe she has done that.  I worry about her.

Her Hubby on the other hand,  believes that his health is in the hands of God, and therefore is not getting the vaccination.  I worry about  him.

If these two had only themselves to think about I could accept their decisions, however,  they have a family, a family of five children.  These children are all under the age of the cut off age for the vaccination, so they cannot be vaccinated.....yet.  But will they when they can?  I worry about them. Further, I do not understand why this Covid vaccination is any different than any other vaccination.  Both of these adults have had other shots for different illnesses. .I know the vaccine was produced in an unbelievably short period of time,  tests have been done, and from everything I have read or heard it is no more dangerous than other shots we have all had, however, we do not know the long term effects. But................

If, these two become ill or even worse because of their decisions, who will feed, clothe and educate and look after these children.  Five  children are difficult to care for, for Mum and Dad, let alone a Grandma and Grampa.   I worry for all of them.

Enough said, thanks for listening to my venting.

Dinner tonight, a repeat from yesterday, as we have leftovers from a roast of pork, additional veg and a salad.
