It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

I was a little reticent to say how enraged I am by Cash’s situation. But I love the suggestions. And am enraged.

A dear friend at works uncle just succumbed to Covid, and her aunt is in rehab with Covid related “confusion”. They were exposed by their Medi-Cab driver and their son an daughter in law caught it too, but were able to get the monoclonal antibody treatment. They were all (except maybe the Medi cab driver- they are not in a state with a mandate). My mom has a cough, and we have a close colleague sick- he is on the mend and was still working remotely, but maybe we shouldn’t all be back. On the other hand, we have to be back because we are going to all go crazy.

I just heard a story about a local(ish) woman who got covid and was on a respirator and had to have a c section three months early, and then was on ECMO too…her baby is still in the NICU two months later and she’s only just able to go home herself—but she says she still wouldn’t have gotten the vaccine because she survived and she’s not sure how her body would’ve reacted to the vaccine. I just can’t with people anymore. People!!!!

Sophia, that is A Lot.

After peering at my insurance and downloading some care apps, I believe I do not need a referral for an in-network podiatrist and have scheduled an appointment next week to have someone look at my feets. Are there more urgent things I probably should have done with that time? Yes. Do I still feel like I deserve a gold star? Absolutely.

I mean, your feets are pretty important. They take you everywhere.

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

That's racist! awkward.

A friend of mine from high school died this morning. Don't need hairpats. It's sad but so much is these days.

His family is distraught but also adamant that if the doctors had just listened to them and done vitamin treatments, he'd be fine. I really get being scared. But when did we think we knew better how to treat a deadly disease?

I have thoughts about this. Ragey ones.

The suggestions for Cash are a balm. Thinking of you with love, Cash.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Facts. My "yoga" class tonight was like 1/3 self foot massage. I put yoga in quotes because my teacher literally threw in a downward dog at the end so people would think it was a yoga class. She's hilarious.

Seriously, wtf.
