Last weekend daughter (13) got first cold; still coughing. But it was the sweetest cold ever, because it was caught at a sleepover! It's all feeling weird, tentative and laced with grief I cannot shake.
It is definitely weird. I'm mostly trying to get my mind around the fact that the people who don't need to mask (like my vaccinated self) still wear one in public spaces, and those who should wear one, won't. It's so backwards. I'm mostly surprised by how fast reverting to normal feels comfortable for the most part. When hanging around vaccinated friends and family for any length of time, it becomes easy to forget about masks and distancing entirely. Wouldn't it be nice for it all to be a vague memory soon?
Love your interviews. It's on my bucket list to be in one someday!
Last Sunday, the kids and their friends (and me!) went to our first post-COVID movie--"In the Heights," of course--followed by our town's very first ever Pride event. It almost felt normal.
Harp has a post-COVID party in the works. Activities include lots of hugging and 3-legged races--basically anything that includes being near each other.

One of ours had a cold recently too! It was so strange not to immediately think: you should get tested!

You ARE the zeitgeist.
