Before I get to the spiraling out of control part, there were so highlights this week. We had some really nice weather at the start of the week. JO and I made sure to get outside while we could. We had a lovely time at Moona and at Bow Market before the weather got cold and rainy. I love how safe these two places feel and how much they care about keeping everyone as safe as possible.
Wednesday was a day off. It was perfect timing, because it was also the day Azzi Fudd, the number one recruiting prospect in this year's class, was making her announcement about her college decision. As you can see, it was a great day to be a Husky! (I'm really hoping we get a UConn season this year...I really, really need it.)
All of this country, cases are surging and there is no one really steering the ship. Our president is hiding under the covers, tweeting out conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory about the election. I mean, maybe I would be doing the same thing if I was in his position, because he didn't just lose the election. He's probably looking at criminal indictments on January 21st but still, he should probably do something about Covid, but he won't!
This whole thing leaves me feeling pretty helpless. We're just continuing to watch the numbers skyrocket without really making any changes, except in Chicago where they basically locked it down again. It's going to be such a long winter and I'm really getting sick of the living room, which is also my classroom and my gym. We've started making plans for a "Flexible Christmas" in which we try to find a nice weather day around Christmas to open gifts outside with our families. We're trying to be responsible but we can only do so much. I really wish there was a coordinated response to a world wide pandemic, but I guess that's wishful thinking.
I'll end with this picture, which brings me joy every time I look at it.
