FEAR, what a little thing?

The fall has definitely arrived in Vancouver, most of the leaves are on the floor, the days are getting shorter and scarves, gloves and boots are everyday accessories now. It has also started to rain, you no longer see people on the streets but umbrellas. After the pumpkin carving and Halloween fun we’re left stuffing our face with chocolate and hot cocoa under a blanket. I love the colors of the fall in a sunny day, but this darker weather has been getting to me. It’s been a while that I don’t experience it, so my mood is trying to adjust with the season. And of course, everyday get sticky, yucky and sneeze.

It’s been windy and you can see the leaves flying about from the trees and getting stuck everywhere… but what’s really going around these days more than the H1N1 flu is the fear of it. No one seems to know exactly what to do about the flu shot, and as the line ups at the clinics get longer and more people get symptoms, the things just get worst. The swine flu pandemonium is out! While some believe that’s some government knack to approve medical, others believe it’s the pharmaceutical area that want the money, everyone including myself keep going back and forth in this nonsense.

Side effects? No more so than any other shot I’d say. I guess after listening to what many people have to say I’ve made up my mind and I will go for it and get a poke. If there’s a way to protect your body… than why make it go through it?
