Project 52

The speed of life has increased although my nervousness over COVID has increased. I don't like the sound of the new delta variant and while I was at the Baptism I discovered two of the dozen people in the room with me have not yet been vaccinated. One because she was told to wait by her doctor and the other who is convinced the shot will cause heart damage.

We had very heavy rains and seeing the flooded areas and photos of flooded highways brought back my memories of our flood experience. I really hope I never have to go through that again, especially since the basement is once again full of stuff. To add to my stress, we got a letter from the city informing us of code violations on our property that we need to address within the next ten days. The most concerning to the city is a rat burrow discovered behind our garage but we also have "noxious weeds," compost bins located too close to the property line (they've been there for 20+ years and unknown to us were supposed to be no closer than 5 feet from the back fence). The city didn't mention it, but I have a bad feeling that it is the state of the front yard that called our property to the city's attention. The bushes are overgrown, there are weeds growing around the blue beech and the beech itself is dying and half dead. The complaint form did not mention our pond which I found surprising as I've been worried about that for the past couple of years. I know we need to do something about it but whether we should fill it in, turn it into a bog garden, or do something else confounds me. I'm sure that whatever solution we decide will cost a small fortune that alarms me just as much.

Let me guess. The unvaccinated couldn't be bothered to wear a mask. What is wrong with people? Nobody seems to care about anyone but themselves. I've still been trying to avoid people as much as possible. This pandemic is not over, unfortunately. I'm so tired of being trapped. I thought I might get to go to see Black Widow. I'll be streaming that. I miss life. I'm shocked. I'm not social, but not eating out is getting boring.

Well, one of the unvaccinated wore his mask the entire time. The other, the one who has existing medical problems which is why her doctor told her not to get the shot yet, is the one who took off her mask almost immediately and kept it off. *shakes head at people's stupidity*

I've still been wearing my mask. I just don't trust most people. My neighbor had cake and ice cream for my birthday so I did go over there unmasked. but it was just 4 other people and they're all vaccinated. And I know they're very careful. My neighbor's husband has Stage 4 cancer. That's the only place I've been inside without a mask. I thought I'd be seeing Black Widow in the theater and there is no way. I'm streaming on Friday instead.

Yikes, that does sound expensive.
