I'm really stressed out right now. I'm moving again. I moved into my current place June of last year. I've been here less than a year and I'm moving again. Moving is stressful, finding the right place, trying to purge stuff, packing, the actual moving part, the money it costs to move.
Please send good thoughts and/or prayers this way. I need them.
This month it will be a year since the pandemic started and the world as we knew it changed. Here are some links to a few blogposts I posted at the beginning of the pandemic. Click here and here and here and here. I must admit I've been getting a little emotional reading my old blogposts about the pandemic. It was hard. It still is hard, although life has calmed down a bit in the last year.
We are still encouraged to wear masks inside any public building (although some states are lifting that mandate now).
We still shouldn't gather in large groups.
We still are encouraged to wash our hands frequently (which is always a good thing whether or not there's a pandemic happening).
Professional sports teams have started playing again with restrictions (less fans in the audience and the players live in a bubble).
Schools are opening up again with hybrid learning (some kids are at home on zoom while some kids are going into school and the kiddos are switching off the days they're going in and zooming).
A lot of people who have office jobs that can be done from home are still working from home.
Talk show hosts are back in their studios but with a virtual audience and the guests are either zooming in or coming in and sitting 6 feet apart from each other.
Hair salons, department stores, movie theaters etc are open again with limited capacity and masks are required.
We have a few vaccines available now to the general population and people are getting vaccinated but it'll still be awhile before I can get one.
I can't wait for the day when I can go inside of a grocery store without a mask on and when I can see a musical live in the theater again. But until then I'll keep on collecting masks. (This isn't even all of the masks I own). ;)
