I have to play Hollow Knight when i am really calm with plenty of patience and i have to put it down imediately i feel a bit irritated. Also i am not really proficient at video games so i might not be the best person to take advice from.

Lovely. My fall allergies are kicking in and I picked beans and tomatoes yesterday, which makes it worse because I am allergic to the leaves. Welcome to the fall round of Is It the 'Rona? A second-guessing game.

This gave me a flashback to my dad's garden and the fuzzy tomato stems. Its like no wonder people thought they were poison, they appear very wild. And the smell is intoxicating.

At the wedding of one of my met school friends. Haven’t seen these folks in years but it’s so good to hang out with them again. I also played some of the music with one of my med school buddies and it was incredible to play music again. I’d forgotten about that sort of joy.
Just wish the BF was here too. |

Yes, we had to play that game this week, which isn't fun. Ended up giving D a home Covid antigen test to be safe on Friday before sending her to school. And gave her some allergy meds, because apparently they can send a student home from school until they have a negative PCR test for even a single possible symptom now, including just a headache (several parents have reported that in a county school group I'm in). They can test in school, but it can apparently take a couple days to get the PCR results, and of course they have to stay home quarantined during that time. I do appreciate them being cautious, but things like a headache can have many causes. It seems a bit extreme to send them home on the basis of that. Stuffy nose is another one of the symptoms, hence the test and allergy meds. I wish home tests were free here like in the UK rather than about $12 each (and difficult to find now, but we have 5 more). Not that the school would accept a negative home test, but it gives us more peace of mind in sending her. Because of course we also wouldn't want her to potentially infect anyone. |

Hugs LT. I can't even imagine having kids in school during these times, it must be so confusing and scary and a million other feelings/emotions.

Hugs all around to those who want/need. Just finishing breakfast and getting ready to log onto day 2 of the workshop. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us today!

Thanks, Artie. Today has been hard. When these waves of emotion come, it's actually physically painful. I've played some Animal Crossing, and studied some Danish on Duolingo, but the heaviness is still hanging around.

I just read a local statistic that gives me a surge of hope. As of 2 days ago, 75% of my county's residents age 12 and up have had at least one dose of the vaccine. Last time I looked at it, which was awhile ago I admit, iirc we were barely over 50%.

Thanks, Artie. Dr. T did say he'd have felt comfortable with his son sitting next to my D in school, based on the decisions we made (granted, his son is vaccinated, but I think he said he'd feel that way even if he wasn't). Which made me feel better about our decision, as I was doubting it slightly (and expecting a call all day from the school to come get her). |

Re: Switch games, I’ve been playing one called Eastward that just came out. I’m only a few hours in but I like it so far — story based, quirky, and doesn’t require annoyingly precise or fast action on my part (I’m not especially excellent at video games).

I've decided to make a little kit of friendship/relationship crystals for L and I. My dad suggested I give her one crystal per session. Maybe I should give her one every week when we miss a session? As another form of a blessing. I'm just trying to stay connected with her. I like gift giving, and this is a cheap way to do it. It fits into our budget (10%), and it doesn't hurt my finances at the moment.
Oh! And H's mom gave us some money. We're going to make payments on our back rent with it instead of paying it all upfront. That gives the politicians time to try to help us, and gives us a cushion if we need it. Btw, we're doing better this month than last month!

I decided to start swimming butterfly again (which I have not done in years, and at which I was not particularly good back then). So I incorporated it into my sets this morning.
Jeez, that is a hard stroke. After 4 laps I was finally able to hit a consistent breathing rhythm. But my body feels like something hit it. |

It is a hard stroke for sure. You are stronger than I. I can do only one pool length and that's just barely!
