Dear T,
I'm really worried about the Covid updates. We *just* resumed in-person sessions yesterday, and I'm worried you're already going to pull the plug (or, I guess, put the plug back in, for virtual sessions). Our state and county's numbers are still good, but going in the wrong direction. I want to talk about my stress about it in terms of my D (and in general), but it's like, I'm afraid if I bring it up, then you'll be like, "Oh, wait, yeah, ok, maybe we should stop meeting in person." Though I know you pay attention to the news, so I won't be giving you any new information.

The problem is, unrelated to seeing you in person, the news is also giving me sort of a "what's the point?" mindset. Like I was starting to feel comfortable eating in restaurants again sometimes, but now I feel we need to stop that (and I was supposed to have a date night Sat.--guess we'll just be eating outside in the heat or getting carryout). Why do others have to ruin it for the rest of us? And I'm really worried about the school year. I wouldn't actually say this to you, but it's easy for you--your son is old enough to be vaccinated. Even though you aren't taking many risks, you can still be freer to take them than me, H, and D.

And I'm keeping the Sunday session, I think (though unclear if that's in person or virtual). Part of me wants to get as many in-person sessions in as possible before you stop them. Because yesterday felt different, like it had more of an effect on me than a virtual session, I think, and helped me get through that medical test today. I don't want to go back to online already...

Love,
LT
