I am SO DONE

[marycrawford]

I went to a physio yesterday, which is pretty much the biggest physical risk I've taken all year. To find a maskless guy in the waiting room, who then turned out to be confused about what day his appointment was on and had to be gently escorted out.

Today I had to get groceries, which I try to space out to once in two weeks, and neither the cashier nor the elderly lady in front of me in the queue were masked up. I am SO FUCKING FED UP with people just ignoring masks and distancing and ventilation, and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse. Nobody wears a mask outside here, just in stores and public transportation, and apparently even that is too much to ask now.

The Netherlands is at the very bottom end of the EU in terms of scheduled vaccinations, and I will be damn lucky if I get a first shot before July. My elderly parents are scheduled to get their two shots in April and May, and I hope that goes as planned.

Oh, and yes, I'm on an online grocery delivery waiting list. I'm number 2050 on the list for my area. Yey.

*hugs* I've started thinking that I want the masking/distancing/etc. restrictions to be over not because I'm sick of the restrictions themselves but because I'm so fucking tired of feeling furious with people who don't observe them. Japan is better off than NL in that sense, but numbers in my city are spiking because, as far as I can tell, some people think going out drinking is more important than common sense. aaargh.
Hang in and hope for the best, is all we can do at this point...

BIG YES to that. It would be better for me to find a way to be chill about it, but frankly if I didn't manage that at the beginning of the pandemic, chances are slim that I'm going to manage it now. *hugs* Yeah, I can imagine Japan being the polar opposite to the NL when it comes to wearing masks in stores, but I'm sorry to hear that people are still doing dumb stuff, oy.
