This is the first time I have chosen to share a photograph here. It is my version of a "selfie" with a sticker that is too pretty to peel, and was commissioned by our local arts organization, the Sweet Tea Shakespeare Company, to promote vaccination (now that it is widely available and it really is more a matter of getting people interested) and the return of live performances by this company that vaccination makes possible.

The pandemic doesn't feel real anymore. That doesn't mean my life is "back to normal;" I do not go to restaurants or shops, I always wear a mask when getting groceries, and I do not see friends and family indoors/unmasked. But it's just how life is now. It no longer feels like a surreal event. Life still feels like an exhausting slog, though.
