52+26 - writing again

 September 10, 2021

Gah. This was nudged because our new writing coach told us to write and is setting up a SWAG group that I will nto be part of but I will attend the workshops. How appropriate to return this week, which marks eighteen months of pandemic panic. Gah, indeed.

Monday was Labor Day - I was mostly exhausted over the weekend and stayed home while Jim went to help James after his grandmother's house blew up. Sunday we had tried to go to Austin but they were closed by the time we got there. Saturday was a wonderful evening with Laurie and Tim A and Hugh - "where does the time go".

 

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

So very many things - Alice left to work for BBS, John stepped down and SW took over and is ten kinds of awesome. I went to Sweden to be with Annika and we spent almost ten days walking a ten k every day with Lill-Rocky and I got to see mom and my godmother and it was glorious all the way round. Covid got worse so we are working some from home again and are dedensifying our classrooms. The saga about the farm continues unabated and I am not sure what to do but I am pretty frustrated. J is almost healthy but slower and less able to hold on to details. The cats both have kidney issues and the vet is not able to keep them apart so information is wonky. And Texas has signed into law 666 items one worse than the other including a ban on abortion after the first six weeks. Fuck.

Covid numbers:

World  223,369,412 cases - 4,609,427 dead - 5,619,748,439 vaccine doses

US 40,625,721 cases - 654,806 dead - 376,274,500 vaccine doses

Texas 3,794,571 cases -  59,338 dead 338 

Sweden 1,138,017 cases - 14,703 dead - 13,138,198 vaccine doses

I will start writing again. Maybe just a sentence every day. or a few words.
