they are all still 8, i don't understand.
Jan. 14th, 2022 01:32 pmThe last of my nieces and nephews is getting married, which feels like some kind of milestone. Given that I'm in my 40s and 10 years younger than my youngest sister it shouldn't actually be surprising, but the symbolism is there.
It will be the first of the weddings I'm missing, but given how the omicron surge is going, I don't want to commit to traveling in April. I'm feeling like I dodged a bullet with the trip to North Carolina, and we're considering pulling D out of in-person school; he's too scared to go right now anyway, so isn't like he's learning much and our district has shown no signs of putting a digital option back up. His particular school is, for reasons unknown, the worst. (3% of the student body has tested positive for COVID since September, almost half of which are since January, and that's without the mass first day back testing that caught the asymptomatic that Seattle Schools did.)
