If it's Tuesday...

Today's the day the governor will likely roll us back. Vaccinations are available everywhere now. I think if you stuck your arm out the window, somebody would come by and jab it. The Mariners how offer them at three locations within the ballpark at all games. The Sounders do the same. Twitter is full of 'open slots, no waiting' ...

[EDIT - no rollback. Everything is status quo for two weeks and then they will decide what to do next.]


And, our case numbers rise every day. This county:



At least people are still wearing masks. It is rare, and shocking, these days to be out and about and see naked faces.

I'm watching a documentary - Lucy the Human Chimp - on HBO max while I treadmill this week. It's a true story that starts in the 60's with people my age and chimpanzees. It's so familiar in so many ways. The ways we thought, the things we took fore granted, the liberties we had and took. It is, of course, about a world of privileged white people who loved animals but not in the way that people do today. It's fascinating to me.

I think the pandemic has muted Mother's Day. Not having a mother or children, it's always been annoying to get through all the Mother's Day hype. This year, it has not bothered me one bit. Maybe I've matured :)

I'm going to have to manufacture an outing today. Nothing on the list. Maybe I'll just walk around the block.

Now I'm going to pop into the shower. The governor is going to make his announcement in 15 mins and I want to be clean for it. Ha.

Minnesota has remained a weird mix of masked/unmasked. Masked in stores (but mostly non-enforcement for improper mask wear or unmasked children under "teenage" looking age) but most outdoor spaces are umasked if you can maintain distance. At least, on the occasions that I venture out, that's what I see.

I hear you on Mother's Day. It's compounded for me because sometimes my birthday is *on* Mother's Day. (like this year)

Everyone here is good about wearing masks, it's very rare for me to see anyone indoors without one. When we were in wisconsin trying to visit Zen's kids, probably a solid 25% of people had no masks on at the store.

I forgot all about mother's day until yesterday. We have made no plans.
