I think I'll adopt some level of masking forever during flu season (and on airplanes) for sure, because, you know, I don't want flu or other things either, especially as I age, and if a mask gives me some small measure of protection out here in the wilds -- and bonus if I don't unknowingly spread my own questionable germs -- then might as well, right?
Not fanatically, because I don't have that kind of dedication in non-immediately life threatening times, but... yeah tight quarters and crowded in public indoors? For sure.
I've continued to mask in public. I don't know what point will have to be reached for me to decide to stop, but we are not there yet. Also, it looks like it will be quite some time before I use up the pack of N95s I bought. If there aren't gloves I am pretty sure there will be antibacterial stuff I can use lavishly.
I managed to work the whole day today, yay! I wasn't sure when I started this morning that I would be able to. Tomorrow will involve a lot of standing, which is more tiring, but will only be 6 hours long, so...we'll see. Probably it will be fine.
I left the blue fleece that is our uniform in my cube in Vallejo, oops. Maybe there will be one I can borrow there
Many of my doctors reported zero flu infections during the first winter of Covid.
And now that a lot of people aren't masking, we have the flu/Covid/RSV trifecta just going like wildfire. Ugh.
Timelies all!
Mr. S locked himself in the computer room and broke my laptop. This is the second time in a week he’s broken something of mine. To say I’m upset is an understatement.
Oh no, Sheryl. I'm sorry. I hope you guys can find some strategies that work for Mr. S.

It's like if we don't spread infections, they don't freaking spread. Wild science, I know.
I, honestly, was an idiot and did unmasked Thanksgiving. The Boy and I both fell hard to a viral foe. We were so dumb.

Ugh. It's not pretty.
I still mask in indoor public spaces. I made enough cloth ones that I can continue doing so indefinitely.
At work, masks are optional for audiences and in the upstairs offices. For anyone working with or around the actors masks are still required. I keep seeing directors and designers wear masks all through tech and the go without during previews. Yes, that's technically within the requirements, but you don't HAVE to take off the mask when an audience is there.
Brittney Griner released. So relieved for her and her family.

I get that, but on the production of A Christmas Carol I just did a saw most of the cast masked during all of tech, and then on dinner break big groups of them across the street at Panera Bread sitting around a tables eating together, and the masks come of the moment they are out of the stage door.
