7. Covid is around

unfortunately. People here in NYC mostly treating it like a bad cold. My daughter had her annual physical lat month, and the doctor recommended a covid shot for her (it's been over two years and she was worried they wouldn't be available to kids for much longer). So we did. And then I learned about three friends who had covid shortly after.

Here's to keeping healthy and no razor blade throat!

(It does seem like for those of us who have been vaccinated and have some immunity, covid's effects are mainly minimal. But I'm wary for severely unhealthy people. My MIL has COPD and we stay away from her with every sniffle.).
