Our in ear often reads low. But it also reads a fever when I know they have one. I can usually tell by touch and behavior. In non covid stress times.

Ugh. Our district just had to ADD zoom hours bc our state upped the requirements. So now Ms teacher has to manage in person and remote kids at the same time for 45 mins/day. I realize many places have been doing that all along but I think it’s BS and certainly not going to add to learning. All it’s going to add is a fight each morning to sign on.
I’m also BS that my 78 yo father with cancer has gotten no method to vaccine yet. I feel like MA is not doing well in rolling that out.

My 91 year old grandma and my 76 year old aunt both are getting vaccinated on Friday! San Diego county opened up for 75 and up. Definitely a sigh of relief, especially since my grandma had a scare last month where one of her home health aids was exposed from another client. Thankfully Grandma had only seen her once (and masked) and did not get sick. Now just waiting for my dad to get his vaccine and I can breathe a sigh of relief. He's only 68, and apparently having cancer doesn't bump him up in line at the moment.
Thankfully my 80 year old FIL has said he will get the vaccine first chance he gets, considering he got the flu a year ago Christmas because he never gets the flu shot, I was honestly worried he would be against it.

This morning was not a good morning. I was suddenly and inexplicably feeling very down and emotional. I've been thinking about all of the things that I wish I could do, that I took for granted previously, like going to the farmers market just to get a cinnamon roll. And I can't, and haven't been able to do that stuff, at least not with a ton of anxiety around it. And then I've seen and heard about people just going out and partying and living their life like we aren't in the middle of a pandemic and it's like "what even is the point?"

Sorry you had a rough day I also hate seeing all the people just going about their business like all of life hasn't been thrown for a loop. Your feelings are valid. This is but a chapter in life, and it feels really long some days, but we're still here. We're still moving forward. Do what you need to do to feel safe and loved, and try not to dwell on what others are doing ♥️

This officially has jumped the shark. I'm having dreams about forgetting to put a mask on at stores. It's very anxiety inducing.

WHY IS MY TINY TOWN’S SELECT BOARD discussing how to vaccinate our population like we’re the only town in the USA?
Why are we only able to plan on 100 vaccines a week, why is the over 75 population not finding another way to get vaxxed, why WHY WHY?
I don’t understand why our country has 56 different states/territories/districts, and 56 different distribution plans. Why our state has 351 towns and cities and each one has to come up with a brand new plan like no one has had to do this before.
UGH.

I am so so so so so sick of getting up every day in the same place with the same people and doing the same thing all day. Groundhog day over and over. So depressing.

My dad has been helping J with his virtual school since the fall. They have been struggling with writing which isn't surprising. We've been trying to brainstorm ideas of things for him to write about every day. Today he decided that his writing topic would be: why Grandpa is the worst teacher ever

I have no idea when the last time was that MH and I discussed anything that wasn’t the logistics of keeping our house and family running.
Are we roommates? I think we are roommates.

tj did P have a fever when she was sick, but not with COVID? R is running low grade (100-101°F) with a headache and scratchy throat. Maybe I should have done a rapid test today just so I can know sooner

Maybe I should have done a rapid test today just so I can know sooner She did for about 24 or maybe 48 hours. Definitely a headache. She didn’t mention her throat specifically but she was coughing and snotty. Hang in there. You will get an answer tomorrow. Hope she feels better soon.

I had a really tough day today. I have not been sleeping well, the weight of *everything* is catching up with me. I really just wanted to chill out today and have a well deserved nap because it’s my motherfucking birthday.
Some how, I ended up out of the house by myself for three hours with both of the kids while J was at home “tidying up.” We came home and I think he did one load of laundry and folded the blankets on the couch. And then I made chicken nuggets for dinner and baked my own cake.
We have plans to go to my parents for dinner tomorrow and had invited my childhood BFF to come along because she unintentionally made it in to our bubble (long story) and it is her birthday next week. So that was the plan, but she just texted me and bailed. I would be disappointed if it was just about me, but my kids were expecting to see her too, so I’m kind of pissed.
Thanks for coming to my pity party.
