@rechu if there is a lull in cases, I'd take advantage of it ASAP, even if you have to stay within the borders. I really regret not going on my road trip this spring when I was freshly vaccinated and cases were quite low. It would be especially nice to go after you both get your boosters!

Covid feels a lot closer to home lately. A friend has been working extra shifts through a workplace outbreak and now he may have it. Another person in my volunteer community passed away and I wonder if she would have if Covid hadn't disrupted treatment.
