Went to a minor league baseball game with my family. Kids got to run the bases after the game. Some people were wearing masks, most weren’t. Ambivalent feelings of enjoying a relative normalcy and some concern, especially since kids under 12 can’t be vaccinated yet.

My sister got her first dose of vaccine - so I am feeling relieved. She's a nurse. Now I get to worry less about her safety. So that is happy. On the other hand we had the Capitol breached by far right intruders with 3 of the people next in line to take over as President if something happened to Trump in the building. Scary times we live in. I would never have thought it possible here and the response by peace keepers was horrible. So the pandemic took back seat to that horror even while hospitals in many states are at their max. These are not happy times for the world.
