It has been a couple weeks since I have jotted down some notes. The most heartfelt thing that has happened in Roswell as of late is there have been now 3 deaths from the H1N1 virus. A 17 year old, 37 & now today in the news a 15 year old. I was watching 60 Minutes last night and they were talking about it being in the same vein as the 1918 flu. All I know is that it is fatal quickly on relatively healthy individuals. So, we all carry around Germ-X,(I wish I had stock in that) and hope for the best. I got a flu shot this year which is a first for me. I babysit twins and they got their shots so thought I had better too! I am hesitant though of the H1N1 shot. There is so much controversy about it. When I hear that nurses and other health care workers are not wanting to take it, THAT makes me leery. It is a mute point right now as there is no vaccine available in Roswell. The first doses we received were given to the hospital workers.
On a much lighter note, the weather has been beautiful. I winterized my air conditioner and thought about putting up the fans but it will be in the 80's this week so I might still need them. It was peaceful this weekend. Leaves falling gently to the ground and I am filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the dawn of another day in Roswell.
