My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

 

Our retirement group had a very long lunch, yesterday. Catching up is great. While we all worked at the same school for many years, we all have different stories of happenings there. We all had different friends there even though we all knew of each person’s existence, we each only knew many of them in the work environment.

Now that schools are open, so there are school shootings. So sad that North Carolina had 2 different schools with a shooting yesterday...leaving on dead, one injured. I wish the parents and others who disrupt meetings to stop mask mandates used that energy to stop school shootings.

Weather guy says the weather will warm up and be dry…just in time for the Coconino County fair this weekend. It was cancelled last year, due to COVID, and I’m not sure if I’m going this year. Covid is still around. I get got a call from my Doctor and I’ll get my booster on Sept. 15 unless more changes between now and then. I get that this is all new to everyone, so things change. It is just hard to do much planning when one day it is ‘no masks if vaccinated’ to’ wear a mask in crowds’, no matter your vaccination status. ‘get the booster at 8 months, no 5 months if at risk.’ Guess we just have to roll with the punches.
