Hospitals, medical supplies, PPE, the safety of the healthcare workers... they have to put their own lives on the line because these fools couldn't be bothered to get the freaking shot. It's so, so selfish.

And I will be honest, my heart mostly breaks for those two vaccinated folks in the ICU, because guess who did this to them? All the fools who won't get vaccinated! And what worries me most is kids, who aren't choosing to not be vaccinated, but CAN'T be. So every day, half the damn country decides my kids' lives are worth risking because of this nonsense. I am so over it, and so ANGRY. Also, I hope everything goes well for your brother-in-law, sorry to hear he is having issues. <br /><br />On a lighter note, both meals sound (and look!) delicious! Hope you enjoy your day with your niece, too!

His 2nd surgery was yesterday and it seemed to go well so hopefully the worst is behind him.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-21741853633743446662021-08-04T21:07:40.227-04:002021-08-04T21:07:40.227-04:00The whole anti-vaccine issue is troubling.

Our hospital is sort of requiring it. Now if you don't get vaccinated you will have to be tested for Covid twice a week at an outside facility, so in the fine print their not making it mandatory, but it's going to be a pain in the ass if you don't get the vaccine. I'm all for that. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Didn't you say he's pretty young, too? Hopefully, he recovers quickly.

LOL Covid cases are starting to go up around me, and it does make me nervous because even before Covid, I had blood clots in my lungs and I'm just worried that might come back if I got it again. I really wish that more people would just get vaccinated and help those around them. Sigh.<br /><br />I hope you have a great day with your niece this week.

On the one hand, it's wonderful to be able to enjoy new material from a favorite artist. More of what they created. But, I can also see that maybe it wasn't something they wished to have released.
