At the moment I feel like crap due to getting my Shingles Vaccine. So I'm taking a day or too off from art. I will get back to it when I feel better as I want to maintain this art streak Im on.
As crappy as the Shingles vaccine makes you feel for a couple of days, do it if you are 50 or older. I saw first hand my dad suffer from a case of the shingles back in 2013. It look like somebody cooked his face with a flame thrower at point blank ramge. Its the one of the very rare instances where he was unable to mask the pain and missery he was in with his typical dad humor. So it was really painful for him. Spare yourself from that level of pain..... PLEASE!

Also I can almost guarantee everyone is ALREADY infected with the virus that causes shingles.
I know from experience that being yelled at and demeaned for what I believed at the time did nothing to change my mind. What changed my mind was making friends who recognised and acknowledged how wrong I was, but still befriended me for who I am rather than what I thought, and were patient enough to let me change my mind in my own time.
As the old saying goes, the carrot is mightier than the stick. And encouraging people to get vaccinated against shingles is exactly the right thing to do. Bravo!
