Today is Saturday, August 21, 2021. One of the worst things about the pandemic has been the travel restrictions. Today I'm returning to Connecticut (in a car) 🚗 from Fort Washington, Maryland. On Thursday, I took an Amtrack train 🚉 from Windsor, Connecticut to Washington, DC. I miss the act of traveling and I miss visiting people. This summer I was able to visit some people after more than a year of staying home. But, my family skipped a trip to Cape Cod, Massachusetts because the pandemic is getting worse again. Also, my Church suspended in person services starting tomorrow. School starts next week and one of the vaccines may receive non-emergency approval soon. I'll be glad when the pandemic is behind us.

I've been thinking a lot about doing the right thing or rather doing the safe thing and how much we're responsible for each other during this time. I'm also thinking a lot about how I'm trying to be good and wear a mask, wash my hands, stay apart, not frequently go out, but it's so frustrating not seeing people take this seriously. It's scary thinking I can do everything within my control to stop the spread and yet I can still catch it.
