But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I’m sorry, Sophia, WHAT?! None of that makes sense. What a mess.

Yes, the policy is that you can come with a positive PCR and no Self- reported symptoms but can’t come with no PCR??? Which it is now sort of too late to get?

My next door neighbor thinks his post-holidays flu may in fact be Covid-19, so I'm invoking "UNCLEAN!" protocols and running the other way when we meet in the stairwell for the next week or so unless he gets a negative test result. I'm thankful that the amount of family togetherness over Christmas break has kept me from feeling like visiting friends the past week.

Msbelle and Sophia, that sounds like a shitshow, I’m sorry.

With the weather here and omicron I’m so feeling cozy burrow don’t leave the house but I need to remember that (a) it’s good for me and (b) I still need to reach out to friends even if I’m nesting.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I maybe should get tested, but the lines at the in-person sites are really long - several blocks with social distancing.

I've invoking the Unclean protocols on myself. Either this is and I don't want to expose people while I wait to test or it ins't and I don't want to be exposed while I wait to test. I'm isolated anyways. Omicron, sinus infection, blah and who can say.

God this country is a shitshow in places. I really hope we rise above eventually. At some point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say, the several-blocks-long line I waited in last week only took an hour to get through, and I felt fine being outside for the vast majority of it with pretty much everyone in a mask.

But yes, everything is a shitshow. I'm especially sorry for you on the front lines of it, msbelle and Sophia!

Well I got through about 40 of the religious waivers. So now I’m going to bed and will go into the office tomorrow to set up a computer for a new employee that does not have any work, but if I can get him access to emails I can basically use him as an intern until his job duties start.

I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. But I did.

I got out of bed this morning because I wanted to watch Boba Fett before I got spoiled. But then I wanted to go back to bed.
