I am tired and out of them. But I know why: I got the second dose of the shingles vaccine yesterday. On the plus side, the local reaction isn't as bad this go-round as it was for the first. On the minus side, the tired factor is at least as bad, maybe worse. But it will pass soon, and I'd far rather be tired for a few days than get shingles.
We will see how much chaos this week does or doesn't bring. I've kept it fairly light on appointments, because Scott is going in for jury duty tomorrow. After tomorrow we'll know if he gets seated and hopefully know more of whether that means I'm soloing school drop-off/pick-up or not the rest of the week. It is doable, but not fun. The busiest piece of the morning starts about 8 am, so if he is at jury duty he won't be helping with that. (The middle school starts at 9:15 am. Whee.)
At least the various decisions on the covid vaccine are all sorted out and we can get them scheduled now, and insurance should cover them. It was uncertain there for a bit, and I'm just as glad to have a clear answer.
The cats remain adorable. It has taken some effort to get Kala to stop trying to nap on our oldest's chromebook while he's doing online school, but she seems to settle for curling up behind it now.
Other than cats on keyboard, so far the school year is going well. And as always the school staff / teachers / etc. here are great. Possibly a little strained this year with the budget cuts, which is not ideal; I hope they're not running toward burnout.
