Only one of the hens is smart (or dumb) enough to tolerate the chicken walking harness, go for sleigh rides in the yard and generally get treated like a baby. In fact, "Hey-Hey" seems to enjoy the winter attention.
Speaking of cold feet and chickens. The vaccine is coming. It's normal to be apprehensive about something so new, but astonishing how many people absolutely refuse to take it.
How can anyone believe these ridiculous and wild conspiracy theories? Maybe it's more interesting than actual hard science. Trust me, I worked for him once. Bill Gates couldn’t care less where you go.
It's been a year since I snuggled with my granddaughters or hugged my dad and sister. Since we traveled more than a few miles from home. Ate in a restaurant. Went to the gym. Listened to a live concert. Entertained our friends and family indoors. It's hard not feeling resentful, when many people never stopped doing these things. And now we pay the price, reflected in the horrible number of deaths. Just another conspiracy? Unfortunately, too real.
Anyway, the vaccine is the first step on the long road back to normal life. I really was moved to tears yesterday, watching the planes and trucks loaded, ready to transport doses to every corner of the country, including the little rural clinic where Amanda works as a nurse. So many good people are working hard around the clock. God speed.
Amanda and her coworkers might get the first vaccinations this week! She said it's exciting and a bit scary, but she feels privileged being at the front of the line. After that comes the hard work of managing the immunizations, and convincing a skeptical community this is the right thing to do.
