running

I know that going for a jog makes me feel all kinds of better. It's just such a pain to actually be doing it when you're doing it.

I have a persisting throaty throat - kind of like a hacking cough, only not actually at the hacking stage.

Also, this morning the way I tell that school has begun is by watching all the cars pull up outside my house so parents can walk their kids along the walkway that joins our street with the school street. The school is 50m past the walkway exit onto the school street, and it's a way of avoiding all the traffic in front of the school come dropoff time.

I mean, plenty of parents walk their kids to school in this area, too, but the sudden crowd of cars (and people using our driveway and the neighbour's to turn around) is always a giveaway, even when I don't know what day it is.

Alas, it is a Monday and I have work things to do. Le sigh.

more random bits

Dammit, why will someone not pay me to type my thoughts out all day?

1. The permaculture ethic of 'Fair Share' and what it has to do with vaccination.

2. Quilting and it's (in)accessibility.

I read about a woman who wrote an article for Medium for 365 days of the year. Frankly, it sounds pretty much like blogging except 'something that men do as well', IYKWIM.

Had a friends' movie night over at their house on Friday, had some friends come around to walk around the garden on Saturday, went to parentals for dinner on Saturday night.

Going into the city next Friday. That's about the extent of my 'socialising' right now. Having a Beltane feastday/night with my solstice friends on the 29th or 30th, and then going to a sewing group on the 31st.

All the people I'm socialising with will be fully vaccinated - including the thing I'm attending in the city on Friday. I intend to mask, and if someone wants to abuse me for it (and for looking Asian), I am not likely to be particularly docile about it.
