Gray areas are tough. Now, with the Delta variant, I feel like I’m always confused about what to do. I stopped wearing a mask indoors for a bit, but now I’ve started again when I’m in stores, etc. Julie is getting married in about a month, and while she’d thought originally that they wouldn’t need masks, now they do. I’m trying to decide if I should go to theaters, concerts, etc. Maybe even New York. But I DON’T KNOW. It’s so hard to weigh the risks when so many idiots are still unvaccinated and kids under 12 can’t be vaxxed at all yet.

I think I fell into the trap of thinking that things would continually get better and didn’t factor in setbacks. So in life few things have linear progress, But of course, that’s easy to forget.
