Claire. Please remember that thousands of people all over the world (I’m a 64 year old grandmother from Texas by the way) are sharing your struggles with you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You make me laugh and cry. Please hang in there for just a little bit longer, and give Alex (and yourself) a hug from me.
There are a lot of people that are right along with you, suffering with anxiety and depression, that we dealt with before Covid. But are struggling to control it in the middle of lockdown! I'm on medication myself, that I didn't need before! Even addressing it with my doctor, made me well up with tears! I FEEL YOUR PAIN, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
I haven't been vaccinated either, still waiting in America. B vitamin complex has helped greatly for handling this depressive pandemic. Cheers to you and your husband for the fantastic sense of humor. 💜
Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you're struggling. I understand totally. Here in the states we've struggled too. I've had to fight to get my mom vaccinated. She's older and at high risk, undergoing cancer treatments. After a few months of looking, she finally was able to get vaccinated. And now I'm finally fully vaccinated now too. But it's been over a year as half since I've seen her. She's 85, we don't have time to spare here!
I hope the vaccines reach everyone who wants one soon and lockdowns can end. Stay strong, this will be over sooner than later. Also, Alex looks good in the sweatshirt!
Chin up Clare - we are all struggling with this pandemic and the slow roll out - 100% agree with all your points.🙂🙂 I really enjoyed this vlog and loved the way you and Alex support each other😃😃 Stay strong and much love❤❤😃😃😃
You and Alex are a big part of what keeps me going. This weekly vlog are some of the things I look forward to in the week. This vlog is honest, real and funny. I'm a huge fan of it.
Exercise was my coping mechanism for severe anxiety. I exercise now, but it has been difficult not having a gym membership. California has been trying to vaccinate quickly because a fully reopen date has already been set. We'll see how that goes.
OMG, you made such a great episode! So cool to see you on national TV. So cool to see Alex impressed by your celebrity status. So cool to see Millie do her cute little 'pet me' motion. So cool to hear you're going for jogs with Alex again. So glad to hear your dad got the jab. Alex is a very special, stinky & funny boy.
I live in Ottawa, Ontario and we just went into another lockdown/stay-home order a few days ago, and I cried on and off for 3 days. It's so hard---sending you love
I'm out here in Calgary. I'm older, not quite a senior, still eligible so I'm getting a shot next week. Hoping you get your shot sooner rather than later.
@@mayloo2137 Montrealer here. Curfew back to 8pm as of tonight. Vaccinations are happening here with and without appointments. It is hard with some days easier than others. But we can do this. Courage and strength to you all
Clare! Great video as always and thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you're feeling down but as mentioned below you're content is awesome. You & Alex inform and entertain simultaneously so please keep up the good work!
Hang in there, Claire. This is the very hardest part; here in California, we have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the US, not because people don't want them, but because the supply is not getting to where it needs to go. I got vaccinated early because I'm an educator, but my husband (who is technically high risk, but not according to the state guidelines) is still waiting. And the governor just announced an empty promise of opening up the state in June, but no details to go with it, nor an actual plan. The frustration is so high--I hear it from my students, too--but we can do this. We got this! 🤗
This pandemic thing has been a whole lot harder than most of us would have expected. I'm on a f*ck ton of antidepressants I've been on for decades, but still I've had to make mental health job #1 for the past 15+ months. We're lucky you've got Alex watching out for you. The man's a saint.
Awww Bless you Clisare!! It must be so hard to deal with there. Here I think that people are now starting to take it for granted that they can get the vaccine pretty easily if they want. One thing that this craziness has really driven home for me is the appreciation of RIGHT NOW. Millie Alex and we all support and love you!! Who knows? There may be a miracle. Keep the faith 💖💖💖
What if I told you that making the tea in the cup you drink from is a far worse crime? The actual reason for the lid on the teapot is to condense the botanicals back in before you serve.
My husband and I just got vaccinated March 25th and it was the best bday (27th) present ever! Im still pissed it took so long and my husband and I are both ESSENTIAL workers and deal with the public daily! I got very emotional when we got our appt. date. Hang in there, its coming. we love you guys!
I really hope that things start to improve as I’m due to get married in July and starting to panic a bit. It’s been a tough time for everyone so you aren’t alone in terms of how you feel ❤️ you have a lovely community here to support you xx
You're not alone, it's extremely frustrating! I've had similar struggles, take care of yourself. Oh & thks for reminder, getting my Mum to ring her GP too
Can I take a minute to talk about how well behaved Millie is? To have a completely open container of popcorn within her reach & at her height and she stays out of it on your single command is highly commendable for both you and her. Well done!
Oh Clare. I’m so sorry for how you’re feeling. I can sympathize from having been sick and couldn’t go anywhere or be upright for sometimes only maybe 2 hours a day. Thankfully I’m in healing now, but doesn’t mean I don’t remember how hard it was having those freedoms taken away and so desperately wanting them back. Keep talking. Sharing is so important when we’re feeling this way. I’m so thankful for you and your videos, and when I see you upset, it hurts my heart friend. Because I remember those waves of emotions. I’m 7 years into my journey of sickness and now healing. Yes you have so many positive things going on....BUT!! Doesn’t take away that it still hurts and it’s still hard. So please know you’re in my heart always. And on those days when you’re struggling, know someone very far away is thinking of you. Sending you love, light, peace and calm. One day life will return again. It can feel so far away. But I promise you...she’s coming back. And until then, all the hugs and loves to you and yours. Thank you for making me feel like I’ve got a friend when I’ve needed one. ❤️😘
I'm so sorry you're struggling. I've been doing better recently (got vaccinated and am feeling slightly more positive about life) but I remember having a bit of a breakdown and saying the same thing. Just not having anything to even look forward to was just soul-crushing. I'm hoping we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now...
Claire, you've been allowed meet one person outdoors for "exercise" (a walk counts) all along. Also don't stress over what you are and aren't allowed to do... Do what you want (and can get away with), make your own judgement calls. Gov lost me in December when they decided we should have a meaningful Christmas. I've even met one other person in a garden. Alex is bae
I'm sorry on how things are going in Ireland I hope things get better soon and they get vaccines out a lot faster for you all please stay foot safe and thank you for sharing your story
damn! . . such a raw 'nothing to look forward to, nothing to do' . . .a hug sent across the globe from Oregon . . .reassuring sentiments are difficult . .so, a hug just cuz
Clare, Thank you for the Corona Vlogs! Ironically, while you might be getting a bit unsettled during this time, your blogs keep a smile on my face and actually settle me a bit. Thanks, from a living alone veteran! p.s. Alex is hilarious!
I'm not sure where to start, so for now I'll just say (as you know) that I love you very much ❤️❤️ I hate when you cry. Alex is such a nutter butter( my term of endearment for someone I adore who is so funny)🤣😂
" But if I got over myself, would I be the top ~tilts head, side eyes~ or the bottom? " Sports, outdoor travel, even construction and "heavy" gardening can broaden your metabolic stance and make you less susceptible to dietary and physical health triggered emotional swings. Its kind-of like people who cook for others for fun do it because it's a broad sensation of feel, smell, look and taste which fills their perception and reduces their perceived emptiness. (baby potato planting several times a year is an example of heavy gardening) I actually research random sometimes insane things to explore new points of view.
Well, shit. One day at a time, madam. I tell you what but god damn living in this world is not for the faint of heart. I only just got the Janssen vaccine last week. No pain or discomfort, no negative responses. 100% worth it. But man I had to chase down the nearby pharmacies to get an appointment. It took some digging and quite a bit of luck. You and Alex will get through this. Take care and stay safe over there. You're both in my thoughts.
Yea it's going insanely slow here in 🇨🇦 as well and now we're in a 3rd wave. We have more restrictions now in terms of going to parks and stuff like that. Ppl are really feeling it here so we're understanding a bit of how you feel
I tell you this is getting ridiculous with these lockdowns worldwide hopefully hopefully hopefully soon they can get it together so people can get back to normal.
I think Alex needs to embrace pink. It works for him. Also, nice touch with the name of the color Alex mumbled (heh) in the color of the color. I understand the family vaccine frustration. Vaccine jabs are scheduled here most of the time due to the lack of available doses. Some places run by municipalities are doing mass vaccination drives for those who are eligible, but most of them are being done through retail pharmacies. The problem is, all of these places use different web sites to schedule appointments, so if you're looking for an appointment you have to keep hitting F5 on multiple sites and hope something comes up. My mom doesn't have internet. She doesn't even text and she has a flip-phone. She has had to sit on hold for 1.5 hours every day calling 4 or 5 phone numbers at local hospitals and local health department 'Covid hotlines' to find an appointment, only to be told every time there are no appointments available anywhere. They don't schedule with the pharmacies or places outside of their hospitals and such. It's heartbreaking. We found a clinic near her that is offering jabs on a first-come-first-served basis beginning tomorrow. She plans to try and get one then. I made other plans and was able to impersonate her and make an appointment online at a pharmacy about 30km from her home for this Friday. If she can't get a vaccine tomorrow, I'll double-mask up and drive 40km to her home to take her the additional 30km to the vaccine. If she gets one, I'll immediately cancel the appointment so someone else can reserve it. I don't mind, honestly. I'll get to see mom. I'm just afraid to go near her. She'll want to hug and I can't. It's going to break her heart. I don't know if I have it and not know it, and it scares the shit out of me. I just know I'll sleep better once she gets her shots. I know now that having some sort of internet and knowing how to use it appears to be some sort of great equalizer these days. One more line to a long post: Shit is hard right now. It sucks. It'll get better. That's what I tell myself to look forward to. I count my blessings knowing the people I love are healthy. Honestly, it's what keeps me going. I have to find silver linings and look on the bright side of things as much as I don't want to and how much it feels like I'm lying to myself. But it's all I can do. Soon. _SOON_ .soon. (sigh) soon.
So the last time I set foot outside of my house was late in October. My way in and out gets snow bound so I am stuck from the first snows until everything dries out in the Spring. I'm in the process of getting my appointments for the Vaccine now.
I feel your pain. I became homeless at the start of the pandemic, & came down with COVID at my homeless shelter. I've survived that and sepsis due to their wonderful care. I'm working on getting back on my feet (not the easiest thing in Florida). I keep on keeping on... I wonder, could you do a shift in a guard shack? (That's my lot at my shelter.)
I still understand I’ve been in voluntary lockdown for a year so I can see my two youngest grandkids and my daughter I’m about to lose my mind! Sending love from USA Claire and my love to all the Try Channel crew I live in West Virginia!💕
Your Canadian viewers will totally get what you are going through comparing the vaccination rates between Ireland & the UK. Here we see the U.S. vaccinating millions of people meanwhile the rollout is glacially slow north of the border and the UK/Brazil variants are spreading fast. This is in spite of the fact that we controversially (i.e. as in hoarding vaccines) ordered several times our population's worth of doses, but the lack of domestic vaccine production capacity was self-inflicted by successive federal governments. I see that the contested duvet is blue side up - an enduring victory for Team Clare!
Jabs with the Boys sounds exactly like the conversation we just had about the vaccine rollout in Pakistan. If you are connected, you're priority. Thank God I just scheduled an appointment for my husband.
Good Morning from Virginia...Big hugs to you. First, you are stronger than you know and this Bull**** to shall pass. In the US it is bad and we also have our moments. Please send your tissue fairy to us because my partner needs her too, lmao. LOL LOL. You make our day when we watch you, keep it up, we need you out here...again, big hugs.
Lord above, Clare. So sorry to hear that Ireland's public health system is doing such a slow rollout of vaccine. I got my 1st Pfizer jab last Tuesday, next one the 27th. Nothing major in after effects. Try to stay motivated until you get yours. Think of seeing RWC 2023 in 🇫🇷!!
I understand your frustrations. My town made the trending front page of Reddit for an anti-mask/anti-lockdown rally 🤦🏻♀️ And we’re also vaccinating really slowly. 16 weeks between doses and so far it’s just the elderly/high risk. Taking forever!!!
I hear you Claire. I’m working in Dublin but was going to fly back to the States in May to get vaccinated but now the US is on the hotel quarantine list - can’t win for losing. I guess this too shall pass :-)
Hi! From Ontario Canada, I feel you on lockdown! We are in our 3rd but honestly I feel Lockdown started March 16 2020. Each lockdown I get angry because I literally have been here not seeing anyone since that day! My big fun times are going to my sons house to let his dog out to pee on Thursdays! Big dog cuddles once a week YAY! Lol 😂 keep up the fun and ya cry too thats ok nothing is forever... I keep saying it so it might be true?!?
....My pots going on cheers to you xD I had 99 reasons to steep for and Clisare gave me 1.I had also just devoured a family size chives and sour cream chips.Hey all I say at this point in corna mentality if I've done the laundry I'm not crazy.Every decision I make is done by rational and sane people. XD I'm not alone in the pig shit falling on everything.And the sweet potatoes in the back of the fridge is my sweet treat with jams,sweet syrups and potential maple syrup to keep me going.

You two are so lovely. Thank God you have each other to get through this mess.

You know, that could be a fun blog! Act as one another for an entire day!

Lolol, Love it when he talks like you...sooo funny, then hugs u...lmao, too funny. Go Alex!!!
yeah...gonna agree with Alex...the tea thing is sacrilege...Also Alex's impersonation was spot on...creepily good
Chin up Clare - we are all struggling with this pandemic and the slow roll out - 100% agree with all your points.🙂🙂
I really enjoyed this vlog and loved the way you and Alex support each other😃😃
Stay strong and much love❤❤😃😃😃
I hope you and Alex have better days going forward my thoughts and prayers to you both during these times! Your videos brighten up my days!!!
Everytime you start crying I cry with you!!!
You and Alex are a big part of what keeps me going.
This weekly vlog are some of the things I look forward to in the week.

I love that Alex is a fan of my hometown football team. Go Colts!
I’m watching this a few years on, and it’s still heartbreaking. It was such a difficult time. Peace and light !
OMG, you made such a great episode!
So cool to see you on national TV.
So cool to see Alex impressed by your celebrity status.
So cool to see Millie do her cute little 'pet me' motion.

Loved this move: (Alex finishes painting)-‘what’s the name of the color?’ (Feigned interest) Well played
The toilet paper fairy 😆 Alex is HILARIOUS
Hang in there, Claire. This is the very hardest part; here in California, we have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the US, not because people don't want them, but because the supply is not getting to where it needs to go. I got vaccinated early because I'm an educator, but my husband (who is technically high risk, but not according to the state guidelines) is still waiting. And the governor just announced an empty promise of opening up the state in June, but no details to go with it, nor an actual plan. The frustration is so high--I hear it from my students, too--but we can do this. We got this! 🤗

I can't believe how slow they are vaccinating. Hang in there. You will make it. Hope things pick up soon.
Awww Bless you Clisare!! It must be so hard to deal with there. Here I think that people are now starting to take it for granted that they can get the vaccine pretty easily if they want.

Alex is so right - leaving the teabag in the cup is a crime.
What if I told you that making the tea in the cup you drink from is a far worse crime? The actual reason for the lid on the teapot is to condense the botanicals back in before you serve.
@@prjndigo Totally true. Personally, I always make tea in a teapot. It just tastes way better.
My husband and I just got vaccinated March 25th and it was the best bday (27th) present ever! Im still pissed it took so long and my husband and I are both ESSENTIAL workers and deal with the public daily! I got very emotional when we got our appt. date. Hang in there, its coming. we love you guys!

No better comedy duo has existed since Burns and Allen.
You're not alone, it's extremely frustrating! I've had similar struggles, take care of yourself. Oh & thks for reminder, getting my Mum to ring her GP too
Your videos make "my day!" Thank you!!
You should bring out “No, I’m not doing it” merch! Brilliant 👍🏻☺️
I not doo-ann it
Hopefully things open up SOON. Bless you.
Can I take a minute to talk about how well behaved Millie is? To have a completely open container of popcorn within her reach & at her height and she stays out of it on your single command is highly commendable for both you and her. Well done!
"He left his tea bag in his tea." Said like it should qualify for the death penalty! I can't stop laughing!

Damn! Alex knows how to paint a shed!
and he can slav squat! xD
Claire, you've been allowed meet one person outdoors for "exercise" (a walk counts) all along.
Also don't stress over what you are and aren't allowed to do... Do what you want (and can get away with), make your own judgement calls.
Gov lost me in December when they decided we should have a meaningful Christmas.
I've even met one other person in a garden.

I'm sorry on how things are going in Ireland I hope things get better soon and they get vaccines out a lot faster for you all please stay foot safe and thank you for sharing your story
Alex is a national treasure
Sending love from Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers- Loved seeing Alex wearing the winter hat!

Congrats on scoring the Rugby tickets!🏉
I love your Vids Claire very real. I think I will go watch when you came home from Aussie.
Awesome Colts gear, Alex! From a fan 50 miles N of Indy!
Hopefully wentz works out 😬

It's been years since I've heard anyone say big bag of anything with the lads 🤣🤣🤣
When you said, "I want to have a chat with you this morning", I had a panic that I had done something wrong! 😳
🤣
Alex's Daffy Duck shirt. Looking forward to Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Stay strong Clare, I hope that things turn around soon for you.
Being from Indianapolis, I love his Colts hoodie!

Great discussion/video ! You consistently impress me with your art...
I’m 30 seconds in, and Alex wins again! Ahahahahha! Thanks so much for the laughs!
After I fully watched the video, I still think Alex needs his own channel 😉, but I also agree fully with Claire on the mental health position.
I'm not sure where to start, so for now I'll just say (as you know) that I love you very much ❤️❤️ I hate when you cry. Alex is such a nutter butter( my term of endearment for someone I adore who is so funny)🤣😂

greatly encouraging comment. all the best from USA
You are both hysterical 😂. Very hard to be depressed watching you both 🤣
Thank you for the giggles 😀
" But if I got over myself, would I be the top ~tilts head, side eyes~ or the bottom? "
Sports, outdoor travel, even construction and "heavy" gardening can broaden your metabolic stance and make you less susceptible to dietary and physical health triggered emotional swings.

The problem is, all of these places use different web sites to schedule appointments, so if you're looking for an appointment you have to keep hitting F5 on multiple sites and hope something comes up.
My mom doesn't have internet. She doesn't even text and she has a flip-phone. She has had to sit on hold for 1.5 hours every day calling 4 or 5 phone numbers at local hospitals and local health department 'Covid hotlines' to find an appointment, only to be told every time there are no appointments available anywhere. They don't schedule with the pharmacies or places outside of their hospitals and such. It's heartbreaking.
We found a clinic near her that is offering jabs on a first-come-first-served basis beginning tomorrow. She plans to try and get one then. I made other plans and was able to impersonate her and make an appointment online at a pharmacy about 30km from her home for this Friday. If she can't get a vaccine tomorrow, I'll double-mask up and drive 40km to her home to take her the additional 30km to the vaccine. If she gets one, I'll immediately cancel the appointment so someone else can reserve it. I don't mind, honestly. I'll get to see mom. I'm just afraid to go near her. She'll want to hug and I can't. It's going to break her heart. I don't know if I have it and not know it, and it scares the shit out of me. I just know I'll sleep better once she gets her shots.
I know now that having some sort of internet and knowing how to use it appears to be some sort of great equalizer these days.
One more line to a long post: Shit is hard right now. It sucks. It'll get better. That's what I tell myself to look forward to. I count my blessings knowing the people I love are healthy. Honestly, it's what keeps me going. I have to find silver linings and look on the bright side of things as much as I don't want to and how much it feels like I'm lying to myself. But it's all I can do. Soon. _SOON_ .soon. (sigh) soon.

I'm working on getting back on my feet (not the easiest thing in Florida). I keep on keeping on... I wonder, could you do a shift in a guard shack? (That's my lot at my shelter.)
You look fine. I like your hair that way. Be happy, if possible, and hug Alex.
Bondi Water Frosted Tips, ..Class~!!!
Take care, Clisare! We'll all get through this together. Bright spot: I think you and Alex are funny together. 😊
I still understand I’ve been in voluntary lockdown for a year so I can see my two youngest grandkids and my daughter I’m about to lose my mind! Sending love from USA Claire and my love to all the Try Channel crew I live in West Virginia!💕
Your Canadian viewers will totally get what you are going through comparing the vaccination rates between Ireland & the UK. Here we see the U.S. vaccinating millions of people meanwhile the rollout is glacially slow north of the border and the UK/Brazil variants are spreading fast. This is in spite of the fact that we controversially (i.e. as in hoarding vaccines) ordered several times our population's worth of doses, but the lack of domestic vaccine production capacity was self-inflicted by successive federal governments.
I see that the contested duvet is blue side up - an enduring victory for Team Clare!
I love you Clare, hang in there!
Tea baggy, lol we went for tea at Waterton Prince of whales hotel. Look it up I loved it and I am Canadian.
Jabs with the Boys sounds exactly like the conversation we just had about the vaccine rollout in Pakistan. If you are connected, you're priority. Thank God I just scheduled an appointment for my husband.
Good Morning from Virginia...Big hugs to you. First, you are stronger than you know and this Bull**** to shall pass. In the US it is bad and we also have our moments. Please send your tissue fairy to us because my partner needs her too, lmao. LOL LOL. You make our day when we watch you, keep it up, we need you out here...again, big hugs.
Lord above, Clare.
So sorry to hear that Ireland's public health system is doing such a slow rollout of vaccine.
I got my 1st Pfizer jab last Tuesday, next one the 27th.
Nothing major in after effects.
Try to stay motivated until you get yours. Think of seeing RWC 2023 in 🇫🇷!!
Alex's comments are hilarious 🤣
So glad your dad got his 💉 The couple of times he's been on, he's seemed like a such a sweetheart.
I'm a Alex fan, great video
I understand your frustrations. My town made the trending front page of Reddit for an anti-mask/anti-lockdown rally 🤦🏻♀️ And we’re also vaccinating really slowly. 16 weeks between doses and so far it’s just the elderly/high risk. Taking forever!!!
I hear you Claire. I’m working in Dublin but was going to fly back to the States in May to get vaccinated but now the US is on the hotel quarantine list - can’t win for losing. I guess this too shall pass :-)
Thank you for following the rules! Xoxo
Hi! From Ontario Canada, I feel you on lockdown! We are in our 3rd but honestly I feel Lockdown started March 16 2020. Each lockdown I get angry because I literally have been here not seeing anyone since that day! My big fun times are going to my sons house to let his dog out to pee on Thursdays! Big dog cuddles once a week YAY! Lol 😂 keep up the fun and ya cry too thats ok nothing is forever... I keep saying it so it might be true?!?
So glad your dad has gotten vaccinated. I hope the rest of you will be soon and Ireland can start opening up!
I'm coming over in a boat, you and Alex start packing. 😂😂
....My pots going on cheers to you xD I had 99 reasons to steep for and Clisare gave me 1.I had also just devoured a family size chives and sour cream chips.Hey all I say at this point in corna mentality if I've done the laundry I'm not crazy.Every decision I make is done by rational and sane people. XD I'm not alone in the pig shit falling on everything.And the sweet potatoes in the back of the fridge is my sweet treat with jams,sweet syrups and potential maple syrup to keep me going.
All the awnsers are in the tea.
