No posts this week. We're on vacation enjoying some beach time, family time, and a toddler free date night... or two. Regular posts will resume on August 16, 2021.

Last week, I posted about how angry I was about everything. Several of you reached out to me to say that you were right there with me. Thank you for letting me know that I was not alone. I'm still angry. All the news coming out about delta, vaccination rates, and Florida is not helping. I find myself stewing with rage or just venting to anyone who will listen. My poor husband gets the bulk of it. But, I still try to find the good in the day. In my bullet journal, I create a page each month for "one good thing." No matter how awful a day is, I try to find at least one thing - big or small - that is good. Here are a few things I listed in recent months:
What is your one good thing today?
Here's what I looked up this week:
We leave on our family vacation on Saturday. Luckily, we don't need to pack up the entire house, but there's still a lot of prep to do. Travelling with a toddler is it's own special kind of project management. I just spent a decent chunk of time looking over our packing list. Someone (coughmyhusbandcough) was smart enough to save the packing list from our last long trip to work from. Here's what else has my attention at the moment. WORK

Sometimes you just have to give in to your feelings. Right now, I am stewing in some anger. I am angry about the Delta variant. I am angry that our indoor mask mandate had to come back. I am angry that I now have to get my almost two-year old to wear a mask at daycare. I am angry that vaccination rates are not higher. I am angry that my University is making plans to open - in-person - for the fall semester but will probably have to promptly return to online classes. I'm angry that this has been going on for over a year. OVER. A. YEAR. I'm also angry that, aside from promoting vaccinations and wearing a mask, there is literally nothing I can do to help fix this. So, I am going just to sit here for a little bit and stew in my anger. I'm going crankily eat goldfish crackers and vent when I read stories about case rates. I'm going to fume and I'm going to be happy that I can just let myself feel my feelings. What are you feeling right now?
