I'm going to vote for zombies this month, same as every month. I figure I'll be right eventually, at this rate.

The melancholy is winning. Yep. I mean, at least for me, it's sort of turned into mundane melancholy? Like ok I guess this is just life now because everyone around me insists on going to weddings and bachelorette parties and "girls weekends". I'll just stay hunkered down with my immediate family and two friends that we see outdoors. See you in 2024.

I've been a pretty consistent Pollyanna-for-the-People/unearned grace extender for the duration of this, but every time I see a fucking bachelorette party on my feeds I lose my mind now. It's not going to be safe for me to have my baby baptized in my community until........spring? summer? ever? but sure, you bitches rock on with your funky sashes and your bar hop. I am looking into a backyard baptism for my twins currently with just my immediate family and my friend who will be the godmother (one of the two friends aforementioned, actually). I keep forgetting to call the pastor that baptized my oldest (he's a family friend, we don't belong to any particular church). But I understand that it is different in Catholicism. I'm sorry you will have to wait so long!

So, it's a whole long thing, but long story short my brother, who has been careful but does go to work (masked), exposed my whole family, including my elderly parents, to Covid this past weekend. I am very, very stressed about my parents situation. Also, I'm 99% sure that I have it, but I'm thinking I should wait until tomorrow to get tested to make sure the result is accurate. Ugh.

Maybe you could for five minutes so we get this under control once and for all? No? Great, glad you put your need to socialize/work out/shop/travel above everyone else. Aces and cheers. I'm a bitter betty today, it's CD1 and I didn't sleep well.

Jumping in after lurking for the last 6 months on the CV threads. This. This is really getting me. I just want to be with family and have my baby baptized in church. But people in Texas suck and can't do the right thing.

I'm fairly over the grace thing when it comes to selfish choices. Immma save it for people who have to go to work (and therefore make childcare choices that stress them out) and the like. And all the love/sympathy for people who had to cancel major life events but are making the right call.
Or just general malaise that needs a hair pat.
But the rest of the population can get bent.

So a district close to us opened on 8/13. No delay. It's a predominately white district (70%) and Trump country. They were like the numbers don't support delaying school. We're not going to live in fear blah blah blah. Away they went.
they have been boasting a 3 cases across all their schools thing.
So a lady in one of the groups I am in was like, "well that can't be correct cause we (at the high school) received 4 emails of 4 confirmed cases just at the high school in the first week."
So I said let's contact them and ask. Their answer, "oh the 3 cases are current cases not cumulative."
Nowhere had they reported ever having more than 3 cases. Not even to say recovered.
So...I trust no one source to report COVID cases.
ETA - this is also why I refuse to send my kids anywhere

My grace ran out months ago.
We baptized DD in May. The church streamed it online. We were socially distanced to one household per pew. More than 6 feet apart and masked.

Today started back to school and back to work for france. In paris, masks are mandatory basically everywhere outside the house. 5 stations have been set up around the city for free Covid testing, with or without symptoms.
I expect numbers to increase because of the ramped up testing, but so far deaths and hospitalizations have remained low/stable for weeks.

ETA - this is also why I refuse to send my kids anywhere PDQ: The way my employer was reporting cases was similar. We would get a text that there were 7 cases, the next week that there were 6 cases never mentioning that 3 died in that week. It took major sleuthing to figure out the actual numbers, which would not have been possible to the general public to access.

I’m also out of Grace. I can’t get tot he number of appointments I need to get to for this inside baby because people can’t get their shit together so they can be safe watching the outside babies. At this point MH will be using all available leave from work (teacher) to watch the kids so I can go to prenatal appointments and I will be laboring and delivering alone in a mask unless I go into labor on a Saturday. I think it’s best I just stay mad because if I let myself get sad about it I think it might break me.
Oh yeah and nobody will entertain a RCS at this moment because not clinically indicated and less safe of all the options.

Ooof, the amount of anxiety I went through just visiting my parents, I can't even imagine going to a bachlorette party right now. We're 7 days from the trip now with no signs of anyone having gotten sick, so I'm slowly relaxing.

An RCS is a necessary and often times life saving surgery. And any place not allowing support partners or maskless laboring for cv- mom's can go get bent. If someone had told my H he couldn't be here when this baby came or made me put my mask on for 3 hours of pushing I'm pretty sure I would have punched them in the face. I'll drag my stitched up vag to where ever you are fight every person with my raging hormones. This isn't right and I'm so sorry.
