Pandemic's Over LOL
I'm two weeks out from COVID vaccination, so household vaccine status is now two out of three.
I've started taking an anti-depressant again and maybe it's working? Still very tired, but fewer bouts of overwhelming dark mood. Though maybe it's hard to distinguish that from recovery from long-tail vaccine side-effects and the general hopeful mood of spring. Was reluctant to go back to that, but it worked before.
COVID numbers are moving in a good direction locally for now. There are rumblings of going back to the office eventually, in that they're packing all our stuff up.
I am trying to do things about burnout at work. There is much work to do.
I didn't mention it earlier, but I've been ten years at the Goog as of April 13. A long time for the ITA folks, about half are still there. 13 years on my current project as of next Wednesday. (One reason I might be wanting something a bit different.)
This weekend, did some cooking and took Eris to the park twice. I finished Megalobox, started Odd Taxi, and watched the new season of Love, Death, and Robots. Yesterday was the first day for the Union Square Farmers Market. This afternoon, we got some ice cream from the ice cream truck at the park. The weather was lovely, though a bit of a spring shower came up just as we were going home.
PyCon 2021 was Friday-Saturday, all online again. I enjoyed the streamed talks, there are a least a few things I should catch from the videos. A bit sad that PyCon Pittsburgh is just not happening, since 2022-2023 is already planned for Salt Lake City.
