This week was watching all the angry hornets fly out of the nest! I was as shocked as any one as the events at the Capital unfolded. It will take time to quiet the buzzing...I believe the nest was kicked one too many times and the swarm that’s been building for awhile was unleashed. I have friends who have been glued to their TVs... I chose not to take that route for my own sanity...when you are shown something a number of times the theory goes you will be desensitized.... I think in this instance too much “information” has created a state of “over-sensitized” for both those inside and outside the nest...one side spilling out and attacking, and the other watching in disbelief with a sadness that left many depressed and unable to sleep. First amendment rights are one thing, and a glorious part of our tradition, but when you hear someone answer “my President told me to”, you’ve got to wonder where it went wrong...

Two days ago I received my 2nd Pfizer shot, then yesterday spent the entire day asleep. Sore arm, muscle aches, and deep fatigue - I'd rather have all of it than COVID! My mom died with/of COVID three weeks ago, and this week I submitted her obituary. Even though I wrote it, I can't bear to look at the published version. I also made travel arrangements to attend a cross-country service. I will only be one week into my incubation period, but I'm going to follow all protocols. I'm nervous about flying, though. I reserved a window seat with no one in the middle - I hope it stays that way.
