I'm up, again.  I was up at ten dealing with some e-mails after six hours of sleep.  I got another ninety minutes just now.

I am curious what the cases are like of covid now where everybody lives. And what are they doing for back to school.

Here in Quebec (population of 8 million) it pretty good right now. Masks are mandatory everywhere indoors (except little kids). But most kids are still wearing them.  We are down to around 65 cases per day. School starts on Monday. The kids in elementary and high school will be going back in person.  Masks are only mandatory grade 5 and up. And only to enter and leave school and in hallways. But not while being taught.  I am really hoping that cases don't spike. :(

I think it was a bit indelicate for a Dear Reader to discuss her large breasts on the board last night......I was triggered.

Only one, we shared

DR Jennifer I hope returning to school works and your number do not go up.  Please keep us updated on what happens and how your nieces are doing.

I think there is a mix of results with the schools that have reopened here.  Many have quickly closed.

I am thankful that, for now, Craig will not be teaching from his classroom though it is very hard on him.

At first they said that the high schools would be partly online. But they are not doing that.  My younger niece does 2 sports in the summer. Swimming (indoors) started in July. And they took a lot of precautions. 25 swimmers at time. They have a door from outside to go in with masks. Only two swimmers per lane (each starting at one side).

But for soccer (outdoors) they have been playing games against other teams in the city.  So far luckily nothing has happened re: covid.

I am concerned about school. I wish they had partitions or something in between the desks.

Partitions would be nice.  Are they wearing masks during soccer?

So, they’re suggesting 26 feet of separation now.

Tuesday evening greetings!  At noon today I attended a lively book discussion hosted virtually by the library where my career began.  As soon as that ended I went for a routine check with our family doctor.  Came home for lunch, then went to my craft desk to finish a 100th birthday card for the mother of an AAUW friend.

One of the schools on the outskirts of town tried to hold in-person school. Most of the teachers called out.

Wha-a-a-at?  Who’s suggesting that?

It was on NBC news tonight. The virus has been shown to survive st a 26-foot distance.

My uncle put on his glasses to look at his gift.  And then he said: "Well that's Mom's writing......"

He had never seen it.  He said he had the perfect shelf place for it near the photos of his pets who have gone before.....

And my sister and he and I spent about four hours talking all about things.

It was most interesting and entertaining.  I'm not sure that he was interested or entertained by anything we said, but our conversations would always lead him to this tale or that - many of which we had never heard.
