two things make a post...

Work motivation very low today. Just tired, mostly. But two notable things about today....

1. Jen and I were able to schedule vaccinations this morning! Ohio opened to 40+ this morning.
2. Today is the last day that the kids were home for hybrid school (knock on wood, presuming current trends continue).

Honestly, I don't blame them for having mixed feelings about this. It's good to see friends - but on the good days, they're done with assigned schoolwork by lunch and can play around for the rest of the afternoon. It's like halfway to summer vacation. And now instead they'll be going to school 5 days a week again?

One compromise we've made with them is that the after-school program will only be part time. Tu/Th they can come home right after school. I don't have meetings then, Jen doesn't have classes, and it'll all be OK.

Change. Change is coming, and thank goodness.

You're giving me hope.

It's coming! Very, very unevenly, but we're crawling towards that finish line.

I'm glad you and Jen were able to schedule appointments so soon. That's... not working as smoothly in many other places around the country right now.

For sure. I'm hearing a lot of stories. Many of my coworkers, who are all spread out across the country, seem to be getting theirs. My parents have in NM, and my in-laws are half done in Iowa.

Just today in Ohio, they changed the rules again - to allow ages 16+ to get the vaccine if appointments are available! I think that's a sea change.
