Fool's Spring
Apr. 16th, 2021 08:57 amIt's snowing. Really coming down, too, though I don't know if it will stick.
I'm continuously exhausted. Eris is a bit of a nightmare in the evenings. Mornings aren't great, either. She really wants a lot of hand-holding for everything, and is utterly uncompromising. Being tired makes her all the more inflexible, which doesn't help her get to bed.
As you can see, I still don't find time to write.
Julie got a COVID vaccine two weeks ago (first dose Pfizer), from one of the state vaccination sites in town. I got one last week (same), though I had to grab a Zipcar and haul out to Marshfield. Not too bad. But I'm out of practice and really don't enjoy Boston driving. I've been getting in a lot more practice than usual, driving Juile and Eris to appointments. Hoping at some point some of that won't be necessary. But without pediatric vaccines, it's eyes on the skies for the foreseeable future. ("COVID isn't a problem for kids lol" is not the reaction of the crowd that knows way too much about immunology.) Maybe we'll get to the point where it's "pandemic over" for everyone but parents. Still, though we're not going back to Sandy this summer (and somewhat more surprisingly, my parents aren't either), we are trying to make some plans for a more low-key family vacation once all the adults are vaccinated. It's something.
What else? I watched season four of Infinity Train, which just came out on HBO Max. The fourth and apparently last season. It's a great, creative show, really deserves to get the full eight "books" the creators had planned. On the other hand, each season is a coherent, complete story, so the early end doesn't mar what's already created. The networks just don't seem to know what to do with YA animated shows (or bizarre original sci-fi, for that matter). And does it even fit into the all-streaming business model? I literally resubscribed to HBO Max for season three. But while season four certainly had me sticking around, maybe other stuff would have as well (and maybe other stuff will, now that the show's cancelled).
