Days of Going Wild

Since having my second COVID shot, I’ve engaged in multiple reckless behaviors!

I had a haircut for the first time since June, and as a result no longer look like someone whose primary residence is a cardboard box!

I’ve twice dined in restaurants! Indoors! (The restaurants were allowed to seat at half capacity, but I was the only customer, so it hardly mattered.)

Tomorrow we have tickets for a museum exhibit! Oh man, I am livin’ la vida loca!

New Mexico COVID numbers have been hovering for several weeks at around 200 new cases per day. Last week there were a couple days without fatalities! But in the rest of the country the numbers are creeping upward again, 17% in the last two weeks, and now stand at 68,000 per day, with over 1100 deaths each and every day. Clearly the vaccinations can’t come soon enough.
