The new CDC guidelines say that if you’re vaccinated, you can stop wearing a mask outdoors. I’m planning to keep wearing my mask outdoors for now, and probably for at least another month or two, mostly because people can’t tell if I’m vaccinated or not by looking. (If you come by the house for the […]
I had a school board orientation with a dozen or so people in person. We were all wearing masks, and all sitting around a big table a few feet from each other (and we also had several people attending via Zoom), and I think it was fine, we’re probably mostly all vaccinated at this point
Just had a Zoom meeting (re: finances for Serendib, our need to start looking for a part-time business manager, etc.), and was struck by the fact that I was perfectly fine with doing the meeting, and I had a nice time chatting with my Serendib peeps… …and this is in sharp contrast to a month

How many days will there be? Well, I’m not sure yet. I have three hanging projects that I’d like to finish up, and I *think* a week or so will take care of that. I’m stopping back at the house 2-3 times / day — I stopped back yesterday to sign a bunch of copies

It’s Sri Lankan New Year right now, and it’s making me sad. Usually I have a house jammed full of people, I’ve been cooking for days, and my kitchen island is overflowing with delicious food. Tonight, I ordered pizza, because I’m too bummed to cook. Stupid pandemic. I miss people. I REALLY MISS PEOPLE.

Passed along with permission from a Johns Hopkins doctor, re: the temporary suspension of the J&J vaccine: “I am not particularly worried. Any medication or vaccine distributed this widely is likely to have some reports of adverse events. I think we were unusually lucky with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to have so few reports

I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday (just because of long pandemic, no real reason otherwise), so I went ahead and bought a magnolia tree that I’ve been wanting forever. It’s bigger than I can manage to plant myself (and won’t fit in my car either), so they’ll be delivering it soon and planting it
I have reaffirmed my allegiance to House Moderna with a second infusion of its mighty life-giving elixir. House Pfizer and House J&J, I shall meet you on the battlefield. (On the vaccine battlefield, everyone wins. And then we party. With cake.)

Kavi’s ‘neutral’ mask thing this morning reminded me of an odd thing I’ve been meaning to post about for myself. I generally like wearing white or cream clothes, which ‘pop’ against my dark skin; I also love interesting, beautiful prints, like the ones pictured on these masks. And so I’ve sewn a bunch of masks
Last night, Kavi was gathering together her stuff for returning to in-person school. She needed a mask and a back-up mask, which you would think would be easy enough as we have a whole bin of masks I’ve sewn in the front entryway. But those are all in ‘fun’ fabric patterns (dragons! space! flowers! monsters!)
