Wow @winellthetime! I’m glad you guys are safe! I hope he is doing ok tgrimes! mwhip she needs to be able to do the essential functions of her job, which include driving with others. If she has a medical or religious reason for not getting vaccinated, you can give her a reasonable accommodation but that could simply be having her wear a mask. If I were you I would simply say if you are uncomfortable you can take your own precautions, such as masking, driving with windows down, sanitizing. But that she still has to do the duties expected of her. Covid and HR are quite the prickly but I’ve looked into this extensively and you should be good with that approach. Does your supervisor or higher up have a plan for addressing these concerns? I’m sure it’s not the first issue like this to arise.

We had a nice day. We went mini golfing and to the batting cages. I have always sucked at sports but I must be learning something watching C play because I did pretty good at the batting cages. After that we went to Dicks to buy football gear since it’s Pop Warner’s 20% weekend. They had two pairs of cleats left and all of the clothing was ridiculously priced. I found the cleats at another store and will get them tomorrow. I’m not sure what other gear he needs but they should let us know tomorrow. Football pants for kids are like $50-70!!! We might go broke with his sports.
After shopping we went for ice cream and then my brother came over for movie night. We watched The Fate of the Furious (Fast and Furious 7). It was pretty good and C loved the Rock and Vin Diesel so he was happy.
Off to catch up on the Olympics now.

Well. We had a terrifying incident. We were at a restaurant and tornado warnings went off. Everyone is kind of trying to figure out what to do...small indoor space, lots of windows, no basement. Clark's looking outside and says he sees smoke. We look out .... it's a giant tornado forming headed right at us! We all gathered in the middle of the room around a brick fireplace. Thankfully it changed direction and headed away. Whew. First time I've ever seen a tornado! Hopefully last lol. I think I would have shit my pants if I wasn't so focused on keeping the kids calm. Holy shit. Im glad it turned!

[mention]lfig [/mention] like others have said you can accommodate by having her wear a mask and a face shield (that is what my job required for the longest time to drive any vehicle with another person then sanitize afterwards.
I know my job made accommodations so we could get vaccinated. If your work does too let the employee know about it. Sometimes that inspires them to do it.

I had a busy day. I did barre this morning, then met a girl from fb to buy myself roller blades. After that I got my gel polish removed and then came home to deal with all the crabby children. On top of all of that I have had a painful clogged duct since I woke up…and I got a headache, body aches and am having chills this evening so mastitis it is. Unfortunately no pharmacies are open at this hour so I have to wait till morning to get my antibiotics. Cross all your fingers and toes that V sleeps well tonight because I need to sleep. Speaking of which I’m going to bed now.

Hi hi - typical me disappearing for the week. We had a lazy day today and watched a lot of Olympics. Mh is cancelling his Vegas trip in a few weeks bb of delta, which sucks. Our friend is a infectious disease doc and she's like nope, do not go. So that is a bummer, the rates were so much lower when they booked it, but it's not worth the risk of him bringing it home and passing it on. Oh and my grandma passed last week and her service will be a luncheon in a few weeks on our way home from the beach..so that likely means my kids are coming. I'm stressing already about who will be there and if vaxxed. I think I'll just have to deal with it though, stupid if we don't go to one indoor event when they will be indoor at school 2 weeks later. K is thankfully doing a bit better with a mask. lfig umm, I'd be more worried for the passenger that had to ride with the unvaxxed person. No way I'd ride in a car with an unvaxxed person unless both masked up and windows open, esp with delta being so transmissible. What a headache for you, I'm sorry. wineallthetime so glad you are safe!! I was at a rowing practice in Tennessee once and a tornado was heading towards our a garage full of boats we were in...we were told to run and lie in the ditch near the road if it came closer😳. That was traumatizing, I can't imagine having the kids there too.

So a manager on another team that I work with who is an antivax-er and anti-masker caught covid. He is still adamant that the vaccine and masks aren’t necessary. Because of the team he’s on and other things he has to bring a note from a doctor clearing him to work.

Not irrational at all guster. I’m pretty upset that people who aren’t vaccinated are having people over for a party. Me too! And the other half of my family that is vaccinated doesnt think it's a big deal to socialize with the unvaccinated, so now I pretty much see no one on that side. Sadly I think that will happen to a lot of families. Out of my sibset, initially only 2 of us were vaxxed. My little brother finally got with the program, but my sister and her family are firmly antivax. My mom is vaccinated but has a ton of health issues so I don't know what that will mean going forward for gatherings.

We have no plans today. We are going to do evie's shot this morning. H decided since she was so tired from non stop swimming last night and I had been drinking yesterday afternoon, we would see how she does getting a shot in the AM.
So no plans in case she doesn't feel well.

H slept through the night. Praise be.
He won't take his antibiotic. I don't blame him because it smells and tastes like ass. Like, I kind of want to puke when I get a whiff of it. I tried mixing it in other things, but there's no masking it. When M had to take it, I put it in a shot of hershey's syrup. But H doesn't like chocolate. WTF do I do? I messaged the ENT to see if there was anything else she could prescribe, even if it's in pill form that I can crush up. This is bullshit.
I was going to look at the store to see if there's any coffee creamer that he'd drink and maybe I can put it in a shot of that.

You can still taste it in applesauce, yogurt & ice cream. He won’t take it out of the syringe. Ordinarily I’d sit on him and shoot it in, but he’s just going to spit it back in my face.

Theres a sweet cream coffee creamer that might work. Or maybe try those water flavor things, Mio(?).

I’m planning to spend my day laying in bed. tgrimes I’m sorry you’re having a hard time with the antibiotic. I hope the ENT has a solution for you

Sorry. B drinks nothing but water so I totally get it. I hope they get you a powder or something.
