That is very cool, JenP!
Ugh, David. That is tough. It is much easier as adults to deal with the concept of this too shall pass.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

dcp, so evocative... of something.
David, that's hard. Bleh. I don't have anything useful. Just sorry for the kids.
I have a lot to do today, and I'm starting off verrryyyy slowly. OK. half an hour working on the website before 10:30a meeting. That is my challenge to me, and you are my witnesses. Go!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Matilda won't be on her school campus at all this year. But her friend Mia (down in San Bruno, a half hour south of SF) will be, and now Matilda is worried that she can't see Mia because her cohort is too big. And...I don't know really know how to parse the risk there.
Ugh, that's a tough one. I guess it depends on how seriously the school takes masking/distancing protocols?
Only one of Dylan's close friends is in the in-person cohort, and they don't have any classes together, or the same lunch/recess period, which is disappointing. I mean, he's not seeing any *less* of his friends than he was last week when they were all remote, but I was hoping he would at least have someone to eat with and talk to during the day.

Random possible good sign? I've been doing moderation type stuff for my NextDoor group for some time and there were a few months there where it was a constant battle deleting the nasty political posts. I noticed today that I hadn't had a notification in some time and went in to look and zero reported posts. I'm hoping that means the vitriol is calming down.

That is making my head close up just looking at it!

Oh, my.
I did my half hour work on the website and Zoom call, yay. And thanked via Twitter and Instagram the stock photographers whose free photos I used. Accomplishments.
Hungry. Time for an early lunch.

I know this one well, from early elementary school days where getting a different teacher assignment than your besties was the source of many tears. As they get older they can finesses their schedules themselves unless there's a frickin' worldwide Pandemic and suddenly you're back to being dependent on school schedules for socializing.
