Also adults don’t wear masks here either anymore… only in public transport and places where sd isn’t possible. Which is apparently very few places. Dh and I will still wear masks inside everywhere, but we’re the odd ducks out…
ETA I would almost give up hope on the Dutch, but 83% of adults have gotten their first shot, so there’s hope on that front 🤞🏻.

Thinking of you today. klong11 inthekitty I’ve never been to a movies where they check inside your bags. I used to go to the gas station to get an icee or drink and put it in my big tote and grip it like crazy while I’m walking in so it doesn’t spill. One time Mh and I were going to the movies at dinner time, and I cooked some Fried rice that wasn’t done in time for us to eat, so we packed it in Tupperware and ate it in the theater. It was damn good, too. Lol

I love me some movie popcorn and candy, but I'll keel over if I don't have something to balance it with. I'm super impressed by the Icee. Our nearby AM/PM has Icees for $1, obviously far cheaper than the theater. I bet I could make that happen during the winter in a puffy coat clutched through the pocket. Hmm...

nam2013, yikes. Why do you think they don't do masks there? Is it about their free-dumbs?

inthekitty the long days are just because we have the stupidest systems in place, so everything takes twice as long. I had 96 parts to order this morning when I came in, I still have 34 left. I'm not going to try to get them done today. So far I have only found parts online, now I have to go back and actually enter and submit POs, which will likely take me until my time to go home. It's ridiculous and near the top of my list for reasons I want to leave. And I haven't heard anything on the other job. The morning after I interviewed, they had a new posting on indeed where they actually added responsibilities to the job I had submitted my resume for, but not increased the pay, so I guess they don't want to pay for my experience. I'm trying to figure out how to get over the funk I'm in and at least hold out for a year here. I did talk to HR the other day and let her know all my complaints and that I'm not happy here, so it was good to get that all out.

Inside a store. For 15 minutes. 🙄. Eye roll indeed. I don't get it. I fully admit that it sucks to wear them when exercising (all the kids wear them at TKD, but vaxxed adults don't have to anymore...however, it looks like that will change to having to wear them again regardless of vax status) or somewhere hot. But even on hot days the stores have AC so it's not bad at all. I actually like wearing them shopping with the full anonymity. I cannot figure out for the life of me how a minor inconvenience is more important than giving yourself protection from a potentially deadly virus.

I always get a runny nose while wearing them 😂. I think a lot of the resistance to wear them has to do with the fact that our cdc said early on that the effect is negligible IF, and that a big IF, sd & hygiene rules are followed strictly. Well newsflash people… nobody does that anymore either and than masks do work. So I’ll keep wearing them 🤷🏼♀️.

nam2013 we will have his favorite dinner and I bought some cupcakes. His favorite was devil's food chocolate, but I got strawberry because Cadence isn't a big chocolate fan, and to be honest he loved strawberry too 😁🧁

Yesterday I took the little boys school shopping and today I took the big kids. All the anti-mask/anti-vaccine parents I know are facebooking chatting about starting their own pod. I hope they do, then I don’t have to worry about their kids being in school with mine. I will much rather have my kids wear masks then end up in quarantine 4,000 times or you know, get covid.

Morning. Regular day here. Some of the pools close after this weekend so I think I’m going to take the kids to the pool this afternoon. There’s an outdoor free concert tonight that I might try and convince dh to go to. I got my pics back from V’s 1 year shoot and they are literally all so good. I want to print a million and hang them all over my house. tgrimes sorry she has to go. It’s hard living far away from family. jewels people like that suck. At least he put a mask on when it was required. From what I saw on Facebook, you should definitely do this! They are great, your girls are so darn cute!

We have been busy in vacation mode but all 3 kids and me have colds. So lots of hotel rest too. We're about to go to a boat cave tour. We saw the kangaroos again this morning. We're all obsessed and were plotting how to sneak one out lol.

I saw a bunch of anti mask parents on the news last night saying they should decide how to protect their kids and masks were dangerous. Major eye roll! In the meantime we are now in high transmission in RI. It’s infuriating. Dh told me today he needs a Covid test to go back to work Monday. We had a really hard time finding an open slot for him. They are going to have to make testing more available again.
One of my coworkers, who I used to be really close with, told me she wasn’t vaccinating her kids. She said that kids don’t get it and doesn’t believe the news. Her Dh and daughter had it last year and it was just cold symptoms so she thinks it’s all blown out of proportion. It was a crazy conversation but very interesting to hear how she squares up her beliefs.
We pick up C tomorrow so today is our last day of freedom. I miss him terribly and can’t wait to see him but I will enjoy the quiet while I can.

Just got back from Cadence's show. I'm biased, but I do believe she was the best white rabbit I've ever seen. 😉❤️🐇

We just got done with open house. M’s teacher had a mask on. Praise be! There were quite a few families with masks on, so I’m just hoping he has some kids in his class with parents that want to keep them safe. His desk mate didn’t have a mask on though. 😒 I’ll probably ask the teacher to pair him with another kid who is also masked.

klong11 were you the one trying Noom? If so, how do you like it? I like it. I've waned a bit, but it's still working. I have my ups and downs, but it's teaching me a better way to look at food and sets more manageable goals. Like it doesn't say "you need 10000" steps a day, it says, "hey let's work up to that". It I miss a day it's ok, it teaches you to look at the positives of what you are trying to do and not come down so hard on yourself.
