As the calendar turned to October I noticed something. It was full. Overfull. Nearly nineteen months ago the world erased their calendars. We spent time at home in our bubbles, hardly seeing anyone. Learning Zoom. Learning how to be safe.
I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly races and plays and gatherings are happening again. The Delta variant is still there, but new Covid cases seem to be plateauing in some areas, and decline in others. Perhaps we are just learning how to live with it and recognizing it will never go away. The vaccines have been around long enough they are losing effectiveness and booster shots are encouraged and approved for those who had Pfizer (I got mine last week). The Moderna and J&J vaccines boosters should be approved any day now.
Schools have been in session since September. Though there have been some positive cases, a spike in cases has not happened.
Last Friday I had a busy day:
Lunch with a friend from college who lives two hours away, including a visit to art studio.
Stopped by Carin's tombstone to "visit," noticing her father-in-law has joined her. I sent her husband a condolence text.
Got Glinda blessed by Temple Micah.
Saw Hayden march with the Lawrence High School marching band.
The next day I went into New York City to see Six.
Making up for lost time.
Life is good. Busy, but good.
